Former Chiefs Players React to News of Move From Missouri to Kansas

On Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced they plan to move across the state line to Kansas in 2031, with Mark Donovan informing Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas the lease at Arrowhead Stadium ends after 2030.
After Kansas enacted generous incentives last fall, officials said Kansas's package surpassed Missouri's more than $1.5 billion offer, despite Missouri's bid exceeding $1.5 billion, while Mike Kehoe, Missouri Governor, undermined the proposal with tax comments.
Former linebacker Dezman Moses said Arrowhead Stadium holds a special place for Chiefs Kingdom, noting fans set the stadium noise record in September 2014 and it remains the loudest outdoor stadium.
Jackson County Interim Executive Phil LeVota said he and county residents are disappointed the Chiefs plan a new stadium in Kansas and are abandoning Arrowhead, while Missouri taxpayers have long supported the venue.
Local leaders warned the move is a loss for East Kansas City, Independence and Raytown, with officials saying no new stadium will match Arrowhead Stadium’s cultural role, while Chiefs Kingdom fans fear losing game access and atmosphere.
