The Kansas City Chiefs are exploring the possibility of relocating from Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri to a brand-new, $3 billion domed stadium in Kansas.
This potential move comes after a failed tax funding vote that would have supported much-needed renovations for Arrowhead, the Chiefs’ home since 1972. Without the necessary funds for upgrades, team ownership is now considering an alternative plan that involves building a state-of-the-art stadium across the state line.
The proposed stadium would feature a retractable roof, allowing the Chiefs to host major events such as Super Bowls, NCAA tournaments, and concerts, providing economic benefits to the area.
The project could begin as early as the end of 2025, though it remains in the early planning stages.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce have publicly expressed their support for the move, emphasizing the long-term benefits for the team and fans. Mahomes, who has spoken about wanting the best facilities for players and spectators, believes a modern venue could enhance the overall game-day experience.
However, the potential relocation has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Some are excited about the possibility of a new, cutting-edge stadium, while others remain loyal to Arrowhead, known for its rich history and passionate atmosphere.
Missouri officials are reportedly looking for ways to keep the Chiefs in their current location, possibly with a revised funding plan. Meanwhile, Kansas lawmakers are actively pushing to secure the team’s future in their state. The final decision will likely depend on financial and legislative negotiations in the coming months.
