Chiefs to Relocate to Kansas in 2031 for $3 Billion Domed Stadium

State lawmakers authorized STAR bonds covering up to 70% of the project, bypassing a voter referendum.

Overview

  • Kansas' Legislative Coordinating Council voted unanimously to allow STAR bonds for the Chiefs’ stadium and surrounding district.
  • The plan includes a domed venue in Wyandotte County targeted for 2031 and new team headquarters and training facilities in Olathe.
  • The bonds will be repaid with sales and liquor tax revenue generated within a designated district rather than new statewide taxes or a local ballot measure.
  • The Chiefs will remain at Arrowhead through the end of their lease after the 2030 season, with the move dependent on the project’s completion.
  • Missouri leaders said they will keep pushing to retain the team, and the Royals’ facility plans were not included in Monday’s agreement.
