Chiefs Weigh Stadium Options Amid Funding Issues

Kansas City Chiefs President Mark Donovan announced that the team aims to determine its future stadium plans within six months. Discussions are ongoing with both Missouri and Kansas lawmakers, following the rejection of a sales tax proposal in April that would have funded renovations to Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas has passed a bill to finance a new stadium using STAR Bonds, while Missouri officials are exploring alternative funding options. Donovan emphasized the need for a decision that benefits fans, the franchise, and the region, noting the generational impact of the decision. The Chiefs' lease at Arrowhead Stadium lasts until 2030, and they are keeping all options on the table, including the possibility of building a new stadium in either state.
