to issue STAR bonds<\/a> to finance the project.<\/p>\n\u201cToday, we are announcing an agreement to bring our beloved Kansas City Chiefs right here to Kansas,\u201d said Gov. Laura Kelly, speaking at a crowded event at the Docking State Office Building, next door to the Statehouse. \u201cFor the rest of the nation, I say take heed. Kansas is not a flyover state. We are a touchdown state.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my seven years as governor, I\u2019ve had the privilege of making some really big announcements, but none bigger than this. It\u2019s truly historic,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Kelly said the agreement between Kansas and the Chiefs protects Kansas taxpayers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe state portion is coming from revenue generated by the stadium, entertainment venues, STAR bonds and lottery funds,\u201d she said. \u201cNot with new taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The $3.3 billion project includes a stadium and entertainment district located near the Legends district in Wyandotte County and a new Chiefs headquarters and training facility in Olathe, said Clark Hunt, chairman and CEO of the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe stadium we estimate will be approximately $3 billion,\u201d Hunt said. \u201cThe practice facility will be approximately $300 million and then we have committed to do a mixed-use district that will have at least $700 million invested both in Olathe and Wyandotte County, and it could go up from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The split between public monies and private investment dollars will be 60-40, he said, with private monies covering 40% of the $3.3 billion bill.<\/p>\n
Kelly said the stadium will generate 20,000 jobs and more than $4 billion in economic impact during construction.<\/p>\n
The deal has been years in the making, transcending truces between Kansas and Missouri leaders to end the economic border war between the states. Kelly said to reporters following the event that the deal has nothing to do with the border war.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a sports team versus a corporation,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s very different.\u201d<\/p>\n
Design is expected to take two years, and construction could take three with a planned opening in the fall of 2031. Lt. Gov. David Toland, who is also the Kansas commerce secretary, said planning will begin \u201cprobably tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hunt said the decision to leave Missouri and Arrowhead stadium was not an easy one. It came down to needing to make a decision, he said, as building a new stadium will take five years and the Chiefs are approaching the five-year mark on their lease of Arrowhead.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a great dialogue with Missouri, all the way through the end of last week,\u201d he said. \u201cFrankly, not everything was resolved that needed to be resolved. The big difference is we were working with one party here, the state of Kansas, and in Missouri, we were working with the governor\u2019s office, the county and also the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all have a bunch of really great memories at Arrowhead, but this decision is really about the future,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be investing in a stadium that can last for multiple generations of Chiefs fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a survey completed last year, Hunt said, fans made it clear that they wanted a loud stadium and a \u201creally great\u201d tailgating experience. Both those elements will be part of the design plan for the new stadium, he said.<\/p>\n
Experts doubt the benefits of using public subsidies for stadium deals.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery deal is different,\u201d Toland told Kansas Reflector, \u201cbut this one we\u2019ve done an extensive economic impact study that shows this is a huge net positive for the state of Kansas.\u201d<\/p>\n
The deal relies on the state\u2019s Sales Tax and Revenue Bond program, also known as STAR bonds, to lure the multibillion dollar football team 20 miles away from its current home at Arrowhead Stadium. Toland called the deal \u201cthe largest economic win in Kansas history.\u201d<\/p>\n
The incentive package offers the Chiefs unprecedented support, covering up to 70% of the stadium\u2019s cost by redirecting the sales tax revenue from the new stadium and surrounding areas to pay off construction debt.<\/p>\n
Last month, the Chiefs advertised a request for domed stadium design proposals located near the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. A domed stadium would allow the team to host a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
The Legislative Coordinating Council, which consists of Republican and Democratic legislative leaders, booted a standing-room-only crowd out about three minutes into its Monday meeting and returned in less than 30 minutes to vote on the STAR bonds deal. They didn\u2019t discuss the plan in an open meeting or with reporters.<\/p>\n
Chiefs and Royals representatives encouraged Kansas legislators in 2024 to expand tax incentives to sweeten a move across state lines. Despite those incentives, which were passed during a special session that summer and signed into law shortly thereafter, neither the Chiefs nor the Royals had promised to build in Kansas. Until now.<\/p>\n
Chiefs flags lined the street Monday leading into the Docking State Office Building, and a lone Topekan sat outside to show his support of bringing the team to Kansas.<\/p>\n
Steve Bushnell said he has made the trip to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, many times. He was excited at the idea of moving the team to the Sunflower State.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s certainly a little bit bittersweet with the nostalgia of Royals stadium, Kauffman Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
But, he said, when he heard Chiefs leaders were going to be in Topeka for the news conference with the governor, he \u201cjumped at\u201d the opportunity to be part of this \u201chistoric event.\u201d<\/p>\n
Inside, red and yellow balloon pillars welcomed an estimated 400 guests, according to a spokesperson for the governor.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs join a growing list of professional sports teams that have clinched expensive new stadium deals. The Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans both will play in new stadiums beginning in 2026.<\/p>\n
Hunt said the 2031 football season will bring change.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut some things won\u2019t change,\u201d he said. \u201cOur fans will still be the loudest in the NFL. Our games will still be the best place in the world to tailgate. Our players and coaches will be ready to compete for championships because on the field or off the field, we\u2019re big dreamers, and we\u2019re ready for the next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n
