US EditionKansas City Chiefs Building New Home Stadium in Kansas After Decades in Missouri
Kansas City Chiefs will build a $3 billion domed stadium in Wyandotte County with up to 70% funding from Kansas bonds, creating 20,000 jobs and $4.4 billion economic impact.
- On Dec. 22, the eight-person Legislative Coordinating Council passed legislation clearing the Kansas City Chiefs to build a new stadium and team complex in Wyandotte County, moving from Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri.
- Kansas will cover major costs through STAR bonds and state support, financing up to 70% in a 60-40 public-private partnership with the Hunt family contributing $1 billion.
- Design plans include a roofed stadium intended to host events like the Final Four, generating about $4.4 billion in impact and 20,000 jobs, with the Chiefs moving their training facility to Olathe, Kansas.
- Missouri State Rep. Mark Sharp criticized the move, saying `As a Kansas Citian and a Jackson County resident, my heart goes out to a fan base that remained local through decades of disappointment long before the recent success of the Patrick Mahomes era`, after Kansas City’s new stadium plans were approved Monday.
- Officials expect the venue to open for the 2031 season as the Arrowhead lease runs through 2030, and Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly and Chiefs owner Clark Hunt appeared with a No. 31 jersey before the announcement.
