"On Monday, the Chiefs released a statement officially confirming the team's plans to move to Kansas. Team owner Clark Hunt revealed in the statement that the organization reached an agreement with the state to relocate in 2031. The team has called Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, its home since 1972. The move to Kansas, Hunt continued, will be a $4 billion development that will include the construction of a domed stadium and other team facilities in Wyandotte County."
"The State of Missouri is the best home for the Kansas City Chiefs. State leaders did our part in putting together an attractive and competitive package that was a good deal for Missouri taxpayers and for the Chiefs. Missouri's incentives would have empowered the Chiefs organization to grow and invest in the unparalleled Arrowhead experience, creating a true legacy stadium for the next generation."
The Kansas City Chiefs confirmed an agreement to relocate to Kansas in 2031. The relocation will fund a $4 billion development that includes a domed stadium and additional team facilities in Wyandotte County. Arrowhead Stadium has been the team's home since 1972. Missouri officials criticized the decision, with Governor Mike Kehoe stating Missouri offered an attractive, competitive incentives package that would have allowed the organization to expand and preserve Arrowhead's legacy. Kehoe described the move as abandoning Lamar Hunt's legacy and said no new stadium would replicate Arrowhead's unique game-day atmosphere. Missouri Representative Jason Smith also expressed disappointment.
