TOPEKA — All eyes were on the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka on Monday, Dec. 22.
The Legislative Coordinating Council met to discuss the Kansas City Chiefs moving stadiums from Missouri to Kansas. The announcement was made official by Governor Laura Kelly and Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt that the franchise will be moving to Kansas.
The Chiefs will build a domed stadium in Wyandotte County that will be set to open in 2031. The team will also build a practice facility and team headquarters in Olathe. It was a monumental deal for the Kansas City Chiefs, as they move away from Arrowhead Stadium, a place they have called home since 1972.
