The stadium Arrowhead It has become a real bunker for the Kansas City Chiefsbut this could change by 2030, when the lease contract between the property and the current champions of the NFL comes to an end.
Before this panorama Clark Huntpresident of the Kansas City Chiefs He advanced in an interview with ESPN that the team is already analyzing the possibilities that exist in the event of an eventual exit from the Arrowhead.
“We will approach it from a broader perspective in the future because we have little time at the moment and therefore we need to see what other options exist for us“.
The property located in Missouri has been the house of Chiefs since 1972, and in recent months there was a plan for the state government to finance a remodeling of the stadium, something that residents of Kansas City through elections, since a special tax would have been approved to finance these plans.
“When we started this process three years ago it seemed like we had a lot of time, a long runway with about nine and a half (years) left on our lease. We are now at six and a half and that is why I feel a great sense of urgency“.
Farewell to Arrowhead, a painful but latent possibility
Hunt knows that Arrowhead has become a property deeply rooted in the history of the Chiefs, but after the rejection of the electorate of Kansas City to financing, the team of the NFL does not rule out developing a project to build its own stadium.
“Arrowhead is a special place for our family and our fan base. That was one of the reasons we focused on it in the last effort, but in the future it may make more sense for us to be in a new stadium“.
The owner of the Chiefs He pointed out that both he and John Shermanowner of the Kansas City Royals from MLB They would independently carry out the projects for their own stadiums. The Royals They also plan to leave Kauffman Stadium to a new headquarters.
“Stadium development projects take a long time and I don’t want to give you a specific number, but with only six and a half years left on the lease, we’re going to have to work very hard over the next year, year and a half, to see if we can find One option“
