Jackson County Leaders Share Disappointment on Chiefs Moving to Kansas

The Chiefs’ relocation to Kansas includes a new stadium and entertainment district in Wyandotte County, creating over 20,000 jobs and generating $4 billion during construction.

  • On Monday, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly announced the Kansas City Chiefs are moving to the State of Kansas under a new agreement.
  • Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly framed the move as a strategy to grow Kansas and change perceptions, aiming to position the State of Kansas as a national center for sports and entertainment and a tourist destination.
  • Olathe will host the team's headquarters while a new stadium will be built in Wyandotte County, surrounded by an entertainment district with hotels, restaurants and bars, officials said.
  • Officials say project revenues — not new taxes — will fund the state's share, estimating over 20,000 jobs and over $4 billion in economic impact during construction.
  • Coordinated by the Commerce team, David Tolley led negotiations with the Kansas legislature and the Chiefs, and Gov. Kelly praised Clark Hunt and the Chiefs organization as part of Kansas' community.
