The Kansas City Chiefs announced that they will leave Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Chiefs for 54 years, for a new $3 billion dome stadium in Kansas, which will be ready in 2031. The agreement made with Kansas Governor Laura Kelly includes the Chiefs building a new team headquarters and training facility in Wyandotte County, Kan.

According to the Kansas Department of Commerce, the deal made with Kansas government officials split the cost of the stadium, making the Chiefs responsible for $1.2 billion in stadium costs, while Kansas will be in charge of paying $1.8 billion. The Chiefs will be paying all costs for operating the stadium in exchange for keeping all of the revenues retained from the stadium, including naming rights in the future. The state of Kansas will be paying for the stadium costs with Sales Tax and Revenue or STAR bonds.

Long-time Chiefs fan junior Jack Larson said that it’s a good move for the team.

Besides bringing new events to Kansas, sophomore Max Bolick said that the move can bring a lot of attention to Kansas.

“The stadium is a nice environment, but there was nothing to me that was like ‘Oh, we can never leave this stadium,” Bolick said. “I feel like with Kansas, we have the ability to make some new innovations and make a really pretty stadium, things that [Arrowhead] didn’t have.”

Excluding new innovations, sophomore Charlie Griffith said that, although he is happy with the change, he is concerned about fans staying with the Chiefs.

“The only concerns I have with the move are how the fanbase will respond, especially the fans on the Missouri side. With the move, I’m concerned that the attendance might go down and that the Chiefs will lose some support from Missouri fans,” Griffith said. “I don’t see it coming to be an issue, considering Chiefs Kingdom has the best fans in the world and will support the team no matter where they play.“
