KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs appear to be headed west.
In a monumental decision Monday morning, the team informed the State of Kansas that it will leave its beloved Arrowhead Stadium and build a new “home of the Chiefs.”
The most likely landing place for the Chiefs is Kansas City, Kansas, near the Kansas Speedway and a retail and entertainment district known as The Legends. The area is also home to Children’s Mercy Park, the home of MLS club Sporting Kansas City.
Gov. Laura Kelly announced the team will build a headquarters and training facility in Olathe. Both sites will have mixed-use developments that could include sports, entertainment, dining, shopping, office, hotel and residential properties.
The governor’s office stated the construction of the project will bring over 20,000 jobs and $4.4 billion in economic impact for Kansas. “From there, the stadium will bring over $1 billion in annual impact,” Kelly stated.
The state of Kansas proposed STAR bonds to cover up to 70% of the overall cost of the project.
