As the NFL franchise announced on Monday, a new stadium is to be built in Wyandotte County, west of Kansas City, by 2031. The cost of the project approved by the Kansas legislature is around three billion US dollars.
“Today we are pleased to achieve another milestone for the future of our franchise. This project is another step in our legacy of innovation and fan-first mentality,” club owner Clark Hunt said in a statement. The Chiefs, who missed the play-offs for the first time since 2014/15, will continue to play their home games in Arrowhead Stadium, which opened in 1972, until 2031.
The new arena will be completely covered and include an entertainment area. The organization also plans to build a training center in Kansas. Funding is provided through a public-private partnership. The cities of Wyandotte County and Kansas City border each other, but are in different US states.
