Tearing down Arrowhead could cost up to $150M after Chiefs announce move to Kansas

The Chiefs have announced they’re leaving Arrowhead (Missouri) for a new $3B domed stadium in Kansas targeted for the 2031 season, with Kansas lawmakers approving bonds to cover a major share of the public financing. Now Missouri’s staring at a brutal twist: Arrowhead could become Missouri’s problem even after the team leaves. Missouri House Speaker Jon Patterson says demolition could run up to $150 million—meaning the state/county could end up paying a massive bill just to clean up the stadium left behind. This is the part that always gets overlooked in “team moves for a new stadium” stories: one side doesn’t just lose the team—sometimes they’re left holding the receipt too. Should teams be required to pay demolition/exit costs when they leave publicly funded stadiums? #NFL #Chiefs #Arrowhead #StadiumDeals #KansasCity #Missouri #Kansas #SportsBusiness #PublicFunding

Kansas is putting up billions for the Chiefs’ new stadium… and people are mad about the terms

According to a term-sheet summary reported locally, Kansas lawmakers approved a plan built around STAR bonds / public financing for a new domed Chiefs stadium, with public support often described in the multi-billion range depending on how the full package is counted. Here’s the part that’s lighting up debate: the deal framework includes a separate fund for repairs/maintenance/operations that’s supported by stadium rent (widely cited as about $7M) and state sports wagering revenue. That structure is why commentators like Pompliano are calling it “historically lopsided,” basically arguing Kansas carries the risk while the team keeps the upside. What do you think: did Kansas negotiate like they were bidding against themselves? #NFL #Chiefs #StadiumDeal #SportsBusiness #Kansas #PublicFunding #NFLNews #NFLDiscussion
