What new Chiefs stadium could look like in Kansas

Some Kansas lawmakers have seen renderings of what a stadium for the Chiefs could look like positioned in western Wyandotte County.

This looks really cool then we could host superbowls !

It's a good start. Arrowhead II should have original Arrowhead design cues, have a retractable roof, and be capable of hosting a SB and Final Fours.

Manica copies and pastes the same seating bowl for every stadium

It's a scare tactic. Hunt already said that the Royals will no longer be attached to the Chiefs stadium situation. They made a calculated error trying to help the Royals using the Chiefs success. They screwed that one up.

I see no one stopping this from happening. The lawmakers will make sure this happens in Kansas

[kevinh.]

The "world famous architect" just happens to put a very time consuming rendering available to the media just for fun? This looks like a very coordinated action by the Hunts.

They'd be moving from I-435/I-70 to I-435/I-70 only like 20 miles away. It would be a big win for Kansas.

They’ll get something worked out with Arrowhead and if not we get to see most of the rest of Patrick Mahomes career at Arrowhead. They need to do a new deal without Royals involvement.

This would be Awesome!! But it definitely needs a giant Arrowhead on the roof!🏈

Community Reinvestment Act this act was signed in 1978 by then President Jimmy Carte encouraging Bank to purchase Federal Reserve Bonds in order for people residing in these areas to have access to buying power and also stimulate and subsidize their tax base. Banks have not done this they have sold these Bonds at low interest rates to developers for investment in more affluent areas. because the Bonds are considered subsidies they can be p by out at low interest rates but what happens is the poor areas are stuck paying back the interest on these Bonds. keeping these areas in a cycle of debt with nothing to show for it. If all the Counties like the Royals and Chiefs why not a bi-state tax.and why not keep the Royals where they are and build new stadiums in the same area.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye.

Had they waited a year or two before starting this nonsense and given us a little time to forget how bad our own County screwed us in property taxes last year then they might have gotten what they wanted out of Jackson County. Any good sports team should be able to read the opposing team, and they both failed at it this time.

Jackson County's idea of extending an existing tax with no defined structure except 'appease the sports teams' was so bad that the County Executive didn't even support it. Kansas City further irritated people by rapidly deciding that they wanted the Stadium near the Downtown area no matter what happened to the existing businesses or residents.

Sorry to sound like a downer, but this was played very poorly and the teams are reaching out their hands for more, more, and more when a good percentage of the Jackson County population was already upset with the County Government and don't trust them.

To be fair, there were other reasons, but none of them had enough push behind them individually to have swung the vote to turn down the tax extension - it took phenomenal hubris on the part of the teams and the County Government to make this happen.

A move like this to another state and they don’t have to change their name! If you’re Kansas then you better be all in and fast

Some of you fans are living in the past, this Team and Fans deserve a new stadium, you can't keep putting lipstick on a turd ( Arrow-Head ) that's the problem with KCMO anyways, none of you like change . If there is one team in the AFCW that deserves a new home it's the Chiefs . Look at Raiders and the Chargers . Left because they found places that made them stadiums and two BA stadiums at that .

[delmontegreenbeans]

That won't be good? Arrowhead is more of a place. It won't be the same

[insideoutsideupsidedown]

I think the team supported the sales tax option for renovation because if they had pursued the northland option, it would have moved forward. I believe Hunt sees more dollar signs by moving to Kansas.

[tcripper]

Arrowhead is eternal, the kingdom should never move. Leave the legacy intact.

[tbchief]

I dont care which State, as long as its Kansas City

[kennethking]

Its almost like the teams are throwing a child's fit., "you wont give me stadium ill just make my own"

[MrPolandball]

How about an adequate public transport system?

[Pahoe]

Crimminy, you ever try driving on 435 when there's a race or soccer game? Imagine 80k + more people toodling around. What a cluster f if this thing happens
