Arrowhead Will No Longer Be Home to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2030: What to Know

After decades in Missouri, the Kansas City Chiefs are officially saying goodbye to Arrowhead Stadium.

The team announced on Wednesday that they will relocate across state lines to Kansas, confirming plans for a massive $4 billion stadium and mixed-use development project. Chiefs owner Clark Hunt revealed the news during a press conference alongside Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, Lieutenant Governor David Toland, and other state leaders, following approval from the Kansas Legislative Coordinating Council.

The Chiefs’ lease at Arrowhead Stadium expires after the 2030 NFL season, with the new stadium slated to open in time for the 2031 season. The state of Kansas will cover roughly 60 percent of the project’s cost through STAR bonds—making it one of the most publicly funded stadium deals in NFL history.

The new stadium will be built in Wyandotte County, near Kansas Speedway and Sporting Kansas City’s home stadium, at the intersection of Interstates 70 and 435. While the Chiefs own several plots of land in the area, the exact site has not yet been finalized. The team is also still in the process of hiring an architect, which explains why no renderings were released alongside the announcement.
