The Chiefs will leave Arrowhead Stadium for a new indoor home in Kansas in 2031, but they’re promising their fans will sound as loud as ever.
The team released renderings of the new stadium design today, and owner Clark Hunt said he’s confident fans are going to like what they see — and hear.
“Today we are excited to show Chiefs Kingdom a first look at our new home,” Hunt said. “From the beginning, our goal has been to build something that improved the gameday experience for every single fan. This new stadium will do just that. It’s spectacular. It honors the rich legacy of this franchise while setting a bold course for the future of Chiefs Kingdom. While we’re still finalizing many of the details, there are a few things we know for sure: it will hold 70,000 fans, it will still be the best place in the world to tailgate, and the whole building will be built for noise.”
The indoor stadium represents another step away from football in the elements, with Kansas City no longer playing in the cold and snow in December and January, as they have for decades.
The new stadium will have a translucent roof that the team describes as “maximizing visibility for military flyovers.”
The stadium is expected to cost $3 billion, of which taxpayers are paying $1.8 billion.
