Renderings Show First Look at New Kansas City Chiefs Stadium, per NFL Insider
The venue is planned to seat about 70,000 fans and anchor mixed-use development as the team targets a 2031 opening.
- On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, the Kansas City Chiefs and MANICA released initial concept renderings for their $3 billion domed stadium in Kansas City, Kansas, scheduled to open for the 2031 NFL season.
- Following a six-month design competition, the team selected MANICA as lead architect and HNTB as architect of record, reflecting the Chiefs' December 2025 decision to relocate from Missouri to Wyandotte County, Kansas.
- Design plans feature a 400,000-square-foot translucent ETFE roof with capacity for 70,000 fans, supported by more than 20,000 parking spots designed to enhance the tailgating experience.
- Kansas lawmakers authorized over $2.4 billion in bonds to fund approximately 60% of the project costs through a public-private partnership, with projections of $8.2 billion in economic impact during construction.
- Scheduled to open for the 2031 NFL season, the stadium positions Kansas City to bid on major sporting events including the Super Bowl, Final Four, and College Football Playoff games starting in 2032.
