The Kansas City Chiefs have released renderings of their planned $3 billion domed stadium, which is set to replace Arrowhead Stadium. This new venue is projected to open in Kansas in 2031, approximately 25 miles west of the current stadium. Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt stated the goal is to enhance the fan experience, with the fully enclosed design shielding attendees from inclement weather.
The stadium, designed by Kansas City-based MANICA and HNTB, will seat an estimated 70,000 fans. Its transparent ETFE polymer panel roof and unique exterior aesthetic will nod to Arrowhead's design. The team's lease in Missouri expires at the end of the 2031 season.
Significant financial backing has been secured, with Kansas lawmakers agreeing to fund up to 70% of the stadium and accompanying entertainment district. Hunt emphasized that despite the modern advancements, the new location will retain its renowned tailgating atmosphere and be 'built for noise.'
