ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — The Chiefs hope to make “some significant progress” on determining their future home after the lease for Arrowhead Stadium expires in January 2031 and club chairman and CEO Clark Hunt on Monday made it clear remaining in metropolitan Kansas City is the primary objective.
Jackson County voters in April rejected the extension of a 3/8-cent sales tax that would have contributed to remodeled Arrowhead Stadium and a new ballpark for the Kansas City Royals.
The Chiefs have now expanded their options beyond remaining in their home for the past 52 seasons, including a potential move to the Kansas side of the state line, where the legislature has approved a bond proposal that would allow the state to fund up to 70% of the cost of a new stadium for the Chiefs. But Hunt hasn’t closed the door on remaining in Missouri or in Arrowhead Stadium.
The plan rejected by voters in April would have tied the Chiefs to Arrowhead Stadium for 25 years, which Hunt has said is the expected remaining life for the facility. Voters in 2006 rejected adding a rolling roof that would have been shared with next door neighbor Kauffman Stadium but Hunt said that remains an option.
