The City
About Kansas City

Anchored by championship sports, a booming downtown, and a famously loyal local culture, KC offers advertisers an engaged, fast-growing audience at a fraction of coastal prices.

Let us help you find the best locations and secure competitive pricing for digital, mobile, and traditional billboards to maximize your exposure.
the Landscape
Kansas City Outdoor Advertising Market Data
Kansas City is the largest city in Missouri, with a population of roughly 510,000 in the city proper and more than 2.2 million across the bi-state metropolitan area, according to the latest Census data. The region has grown steadily for over a decade, anchored by a diverse economy spanning healthcare, logistics, engineering, and technology. Its central location makes it one of the most important distribution and transportation hubs in the country — meaning a constant flow of commuters, freight, and visitors moving through the metro every day. Heavy interstate traffic translates directly into visibility and dwell time for advertisers.
Kansas City sits at the crossroads of five interstates, with major employers like Hallmark, H&R Block, Garmin, Burns & McDonnell, Black & Veatch, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City drawing daily traffic across the metro. The market offers several hundred traditional billboard faces plus a growing roster of digital displays — far less saturated and far more affordable than comparable coastal markets, making KC a prime location for high-impact outdoor campaigns.
Kansas City Billboards
DASH TWO
Types of Billboards Available
Kansas City has five main kinds of out-of-home advertising.
Billboard
Bulletins are strategically located along Kansas City’s interstates and near key transit hubs like Kansas City International Airport (MCI), welcoming travelers as they arrive. These standard-sized billboards dominate major routes such as I-70, I-35, I-435, I-29, and I-49, providing optimal visibility for both daily commuters and visiting fans heading to Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadiums.
Freeway bulletins along I-70 and the I-435 loop are among the most sought-after in the metro — book early, as premium boards near the sports complex and downtown can have waitlists.
Dimensions:
Bulletins measure 48 feet wide x 14 feet tall.

Poster
Posters, often referred to as 30 sheets, are smaller than bulletins, measuring about half their width. You’ll find them along surface streets and in neighborhoods across Kansas City and throughout the metro. While they offer a more compact canvas, posters still capture significant attention, making them an effective choice for hyper-local advertising. In a city as neighborhood-driven as KC — from Westport to Brookside to the Northland — posters offer a level of geographic precision that freeway boards simply can’t match, ideal for campaigns targeting specific zip codes or communities.
Dimensions: The majority of posters measure 22 feet wide x 10 feet tall.
Digital Billboard
Dimensions
Digital bulletins measure 48 feet wide x 14 feet tall, but LA has other sizes of digital inventory available.
Mobile Billboard
Mobile billboards travel wherever you need them — special events, sporting venues, or simply circulating through high-traffic areas to reach a wider audience. Measurements vary depending on the size of the trucks used. The versatility of a mobile billboard is unmatched, and with major draws like Arrowhead Stadium, the Power & Light District, and World Cup matches concentrating huge crowds, mobile units let you put your message exactly where the audience is. They offer a flexible, cost-effective alternative for brands that need street-level visibility without a long-term commitment.
Wallscape
Wallscapes do not come in standard sizes. They are large-format graphics mounted or painted on the sides of buildings, with a free-flowing creative style that can span several stories. In Kansas City you’ll find them in dense, walkable districts like the Crossroads Arts District and Downtown, where slow-moving traffic and heavy foot traffic create ample dwell time. A well-placed wallscape in the Crossroads — especially around First Fridays — doesn’t just reach an audience, it becomes part of the cultural conversation, frequently showing up in social posts and local coverage that amplify your reach well beyond the physical display.

Best Locations for Kansas City Billboards
Traffic across the metro keeps audiences in view for minutes at a time, and certain districts consistently outperform the rest. Based on our experience, here are some of the best locations for Kansas City billboards:
Sunset Blvd Afterpay Mural
Power & Light District
The Power & Light District is the entertainment heart of downtown Kansas City — anchored by the T-Mobile Center, the KC Live! block, and a dense cluster of bars, restaurants, and venues. With constant crowds for concerts, conventions, and games, billboards and digital displays here command attention from a young, high-spending audience. It’s a favored spot for entertainment, beverage, sports betting, and lifestyle brands looking to reach downtown’s nightlife crowd.
The concentration of foot traffic and event crowds makes Power & Light one of the few KC locations where a board can generate real earned media as people share the district on social.
Crossroads Arts District
Just south of downtown and flanked by I-670 and I-35, the Crossroads Arts District is one of KC’s most dynamic neighborhoods — galleries, restaurants, breweries, and a steady stream of pedestrian and commuter traffic. It’s ideal for reaching a creative, engaged audience, and its walkable scale makes it a natural home for wallscapes and large-format creative. Top categories include entertainment, food and beverage, apparel, and local lifestyle brands.
First Fridays draw thousands into the Crossroads every month — a recurring, built-in audience that gives advertisers here outsized reach for the price.
Country Club Plaza
The Country Club Plaza is Kansas City’s premier shopping and dining destination — a Spanish-inspired district of upscale retail, restaurants, and hotels that draws affluent shoppers and tourists year-round. Billboards and displays around the Plaza reach some of the highest-income traffic in the metro, making it a strong choice for luxury, lifestyle, fashion, and premium consumer brands.
The Plaza’s mix of high-income residents, destination shoppers, and steady tourist traffic makes it the metro’s best location for brands targeting discretionary spend.
Truman Sports Complex (I-70)
The Truman Sports Complex — home to Arrowhead Stadium and Kauffman Stadium along I-70 — is one of the most valuable outdoor advertising corridors in the metro, especially with Kansas City hosting six 2026 FIFA World Cup matches at Arrowhead, including a quarterfinal. Between Chiefs games, Royals games, and a global tournament drawing international crowds and broadcast coverage, billboards along I-70 here deliver massive, repeated impressions. Top categories include streaming services, beverage, sportsbooks, and national consumer brands.
With World Cup matches running June through July 2026, the I-70 sports corridor is positioned to deliver some of the highest-visibility billboard exposure Kansas City has ever seen — book well ahead.
Sunset Blvd
Ventura Boulevard
I-435 & Metcalf (Overland Park)
Crossing the state line into Johnson County, the I-435 loop and the Metcalf Avenue corridor through Overland Park run through some of the metro’s most affluent and fastest-growing suburbs. The stretch offers dozens of locations at varying price points across a long commercial corridor, making it one of the most flexible buys in the market. The best categories mirror the metro — retail, healthcare, automotive, and home services targeting suburban households.
Johnson County’s high household incomes and the corridor’s sheer length let advertisers fine-tune reach and budget, making I-435/Metcalf one of the most adaptable corridors in the Kansas City market.

Why DASH TWO for Kansas City Billboards?
