Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe proposed adding a partial or retractable, fabric-style covering to Arrowhead to create an all‑weather option without a full dome, citing venues like Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park. The Chiefs did not comment on the roof idea and pointed back to chairman Clark Hunt’s recent remarks that the club is continuing to work on both Missouri and Kansas paths. Local reports say the team issued RFPs for a 65,000‑seat domed stadium in Kansas and is negotiating for land near Kansas Speedway, which the Chiefs have not confirmed. Kansas has authorized bonds that could fund up to 70% of a new stadium, while Missouri approved up to 50% in bonds plus up to $50 million in tax credits and potential local aid. Industry sources told Front Office Sports that adding a roof could push an Arrowhead renovation well beyond the prior $1.15 billion estimate, and insiders suggest a decision is possible by year‑end with current leases running through January 2031.
