part of the reason is that it’s much easier for international fans if the game is on one of the coasts. That being said, they couldn’t leave all of middle America out so they chose Kansas City which is close to the geographically center of the contiguous US

The other US sites have significant international flight activity. On that note, Chicago, Denver, or Minneapolis would’ve made much more sense than Kansas City. Nearly every traveler will have to fly to somewhere else in the US first before getting to KC.
