Lucas says he’s met with other mayors of NFL Draft host cities and believes Kansas City’s preparation is unmatched. "Then outside of sports, more and more people relocate to a town more large, and major businesses coming to KC and the region." “It feels like the World Cup was going to be a dream, but you add NCAA wrestling, you add figure skating tournaments," Lucas said. He says it should be considered as a win for years to come. “For me, this isn’t just a one-off event - this is the beginning of many great events coming ahead to downtown KC.” “Everyone in the country has a chance to watch us, and see Union Station, and see downtown and frankly how impressive Kansas City is,” he said. Lucas said he's excited for the nation to get a taste of what Kansas City is like. “Whether you’re somebody in sports, entertainment, culture, or education, there are a lot of great things coming here.” "This is a game changer for our region and our reputation,” Lucas said. Whether it was the Chiefs Super Bowl success or its victory parade, Lucas believes the Heart of America will be elevated even more - by 45 million viewers.
