Sep 28, 2025; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; A general view of GEHA Field before the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images After more than five decades at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., the Chiefs are expected to cross the border to play at a proposed new stadium in Kansas.
“Today is an extraordinary day in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said Monday. “We are excited to partner with the State of Kansas to bring a world-class stadium to our fans. This project represents another step in our legacy of innovation and our fan-first mentality, which started with my father, Lamar Hunt. The stadium, practice facility, and surrounding development will benefit the entire region, and further elevate Kansas City in the eyes of the country and the world.”
Legislation was approved by lawmakers in Kansas and Gov. Laura Kelly said Monday the stadium construction project would be completed in time for the 2031 NFL season. The joint proposal with the Chiefs begins the process of exiting their home since 1963 in Missouri to head 20 minutes west to Kansas City, Kan., near the site of Kansas Speedway.
The Chiefs are moving their headquarters and practice facility in the plan that features an anticipated $3 billion stadium in Wyandotte County. Team headquarters and a new training facility are planned for Olathe, Kan., in Johnson County with mixed-use developments with “sports, entertainment, dining, shopping, office, hotel, and residential properties.”
“This agreement to bring the Chiefs to Kansas takes our state to the next level. With this new stadium, we’re creating thousands of jobs, bringing in tourists from around the world, attracting young people, and most importantly, we’re continuing to make Kansas the best place in America to raise a family,” Kelly said. “This is a game-changer for Kansas, and it’s a signal to America and the world that our state’s future is very bright.”
A public-private partnership (60% public) funded through sales tax and revenue (STAR) bonds and the Attracting Professional Sports to Kansas Fund – both funding mechanisms established specifically for this purpose – assure there will be no new state taxes or adjustments to the state budget, Kelly said. The STAR bonds received full authorization in a Monday bipartisan vote of the Legislative Coordinating Council.
The Kansas City Royals could follow in the footsteps of the Chiefs’ franchise and leave what is essentially a joint compound in Missouri surrounded by a vast parking space. A move was thought to be the most likely resolution for both pro sports franchises because voters in Jackson County decided against retaining a sales tax of 3/8 of a cent to pay for renovations at the Chiefs’ longtime home, Arrowhead Stadium. The same measure in April 2024 would have partially funded a new ballpark for the Royals.
Hunt was clear in 2024 that a “no” vote for a tax requested to fund significant renovations of Arrowhead Stadium likely meant the Chiefs would seek greener pastures. They will still play in the open-air, outdoor setting through 2030. Arrowhead, rebranded in a corporate sponsorship agreement as GEHA Field, is recognized as one of the strongest home-field advantages in the NFL because of the noise level achieved by the crowds in the 76,000-seat stadium.
Plans at the new construction site, call for the Chiefs to utilize a state-of-the-art stadium that can be used year-round and draw major sporting events, such as the Final Four and college football conference championship games.

After big game vs. Bucs, Panthers’ Tetairoa McMillan again the OROY betting favorite
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If there were concerns the Carolina Panthers’ first-year players might run into a rookie wall as the NFL season reached late December, Lathan Ransom, Tetairoa McMillan and company powered through it like the Kool-Aid Man from those old TV commercials.The grind of an 18-week schedule seemed to be slowing McMillan as the No. 8 pick from Arizona managed just five catches in the three games preceding Sunday’s NFC South clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.AdvertisementBut then the wide receiver broke through with six receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown to help the Panthers edge the Bucs 23-20 to take a one-game lead in the division.“Obviously, the last couple of weeks were slow. But I trust in the process, I trust in the game plan,” McMillan said. “It just so happened to be where I was a […]
Cowboys’ Tyler Smith will continue to start at left tackle, which could carry into 2026
There’s no question that Zack Martin could have been an outstanding right tackle. But playing right guard for 11 seasons at an All-Decade Team level is why he is expected to one day be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.It could be a similar story with Tyler Smith. At left guard, he’s an All-Pro caliber player. But he could certainly play left tackle at a high level, if needed. He did it during his rookie season and it was on display again Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.AdvertisementCowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said after the game that the move is for the rest of the season.“If you watch the way (Smith) played, and see how these guys functioned, we know he can play out there,” Schottenheimer said of the 2022 first-round pick. “We’re not surprised. I’m not surprised. At […]

Náplast na bolest? Jake Paul se fotil s miliony za zápas s Joshuou, mezi bankovkami měl i zbraně
Osmadvacetiletý Jake Paul strávil v Miami v ringu 16 minut. V šestém kole ale Joshua duel ukončil. „Mám zlomenou čelist, ale byla to paráda. Byla to pořádná nakládačka od jednoho z nejlepších,“ řekl Paul po utkání. Američan pak podstoupil operaci čelisti, kterou měl nadvakrát zlomenou.Na Instagramu také zveřejnil fotku ze svého soukromého letadla, kde sedí obklopen bankovkami, ale také zbraněmi včetně pušek a pistolí, což u některých lidí vyvolalo nesouhlasné reakce. Paul si za souboj s Joshuou vydělal přibližně 92 milionů dolarů, což je v přepočtu více než 1,8 miliardy korun.Paul také dostal trest na dobu neurčitou, který mu znemožňuje bojovat ve státě Florida do chvíle, než bude mít lékařské potvrzení, že je znovu připraven takový zápas podstoupit.Zatím sice může konzumovat jen tekutou stravu, ale influencer je odhodlaný se do ringu postavit znovu. „Až se uzdravím, zase se vrátím a budu bojovat se soupeři v mé váhové kategorii a získám titul mistra světa v těžké […]
