Kansas City Chiefs Close to Leaving Arrowhead Stadium for New Home in Kansas
Kansas legislators consider STAR bonds funding up to 70% of a new stadium project to attract the Chiefs, aiming for economic growth and increased team revenue.
- On Monday, the Legislative Coordinating Council in Topeka will consider approving STAR bonds that could fund up to 70% of a stadium project as the Kansas City Chiefs appear close to moving from Arrowhead Stadium.
- After a failed Jackson County tax vote last year, Kansas lawmakers backed a June special legislative session authorizing bonds covering up to 50% of stadium costs and $50 million in tax credits.
- The likely destination, The Legends, Kansas City, Kansas, offers ample land, anchors like Kansas Speedway and Children's Mercy Park, and sits at the crossroads of Interstates 70 and 435.
- Officials say the shift would deliver a massive economic win for Kansas and a loss for Missouri, as the Chiefs and Kansas City Royals' leases expire January 2031 with both pursuing future plans.
- Support is also building for Overland Park's Aspiria Campus, and Kansas leaders say they are aggressively pursuing this opportunity while Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said the city does not negotiate in public Thursday.
