Chiefs' Move To Kansas Could Have $4 Billion Economic Impact
The $4 billion project includes a domed stadium and new facilities, aiming to enhance fan experience and enable Kansas City to host major sports events, officials said.
- On Dec. 22, 2025, Kansas City Chiefs announced plans to build a domed stadium in Wyandotte County and relocate headquarters and practice facility to Olathe, Kansas.
- Chiefs president Mark Donovan said the ownership decision was finalized late last week after internal family deliberations, while Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt framed the move as driven by fan experience and long-term growth.
- State financing will rely on STAR bonds and a public-private split after Kansas lawmakers and the eight-member Legislative Coordinating Council approved bonds covering up to 70% of costs, ESPN reported.
- Kansas leaders hailed the deal as the largest economic development project in state history, citing a minimum $4 billion investment and more than 20,000 jobs, while Missouri lawmakers passed a competing incentives package covering up to 50% of stadium costs.
- Design work will take about 18 months, followed by roughly three years of construction, with architects and contractors hired in the coming months and kickoff targeted for fall 2031.
