Overview
- Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe proposed a fabric or retractable covering for Arrowhead to create an all‑weather option without a full dome, citing European stadium models.
- Local talk‑show reports say the Chiefs issued a request for proposals for a Kansas‑side stadium and are negotiating for land near Kansas Speedway, a claim the team has not confirmed.
- Clark Hunt has said the team continues to evaluate options on both sides of the state line and that staying in Missouri would involve a $1.15 billion Arrowhead renovation that could go to voters next year.
- Kansas has authorized bonds for up to 70% of a new stadium’s cost, while Missouri approved up to 50% in bonds plus as much as $50 million in tax credits and potential local aid.
- The Chiefs’ and Royals’ Jackson County leases expire in January 2031, and Kehoe said another local vote would likely be required to help finance any Arrowhead renovation.
