Chiefs give themselves 6 months to decide their future residence.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/564...-ends-in-2030/

The article is from The Athletic but here are the first 2 paragraphs:

“ Even before the Kansas City Chiefs held their first full-team practice at training camp for their 2024 campaign, the team has put a self-imposed deadline on deciding the future of its home venue beyond the 2030 season.

Team president Mark Donovan acknowledged in a news conference Friday that the franchise plans to decide in six months on a stadium and which side of the state line, Missouri or Kansas, it will play its home games in.”

Sounds like they’re committed to the KC area at least.

So their decision is between Kansas at the Legends and...what? Is anybody else even working on something?

Yeah, that sounds like optics for just saying we are totally taking the Kansas deal and we’re giving Missouri a little bit of time to come up with some kind of plan at least to save face. Like what do they have to even choose from there is one proposal

One option is to stay at Arrowhead and they discuss that option. My points were that we should have a Decision within a few months and they seem to be committed to staying in the KC area.

So they would stay at Arrowhead and just live there without any renovation funds of any kind, then? Essentially no new deal has been or will be proposed from the Missouri side?

Weren't they working on a proposal that would've essentially gave the Chiefs their half of the tax? 3/16ths IIRC.

The Hunts aren't stupid. They aren't going to throw a bunch of money into a facility until the "Where" part is figure out. In 6 months when they have that figured out. I'm guessing the practice facility/campus will start right away.

I'm sure it doesn't sit well with the Clarks when he sees what the Raiders and Chargers are working with while his team that is coming off of back-to-back championships can't get the ****ing air conditioning working in their practice facility.

Jackson County and/or the state of Missouri is going to dick this up and lose the Chiefs to Kansas, aren't they? I can just feel it looming on the horizon.

Of course they are. Missouri never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Appears very likely.

Meh, it's not like one MO county can compete with an entire state; so Missouri (the state) might have very well lost the teams to the State of Kansas because of their arrogance of/for the eastern side of the state. Sadly both states' capitols don't worry too much about their western areas/counties.

Meh, I'd rather see the Kansans strapped with the bill, I don't mind the occasional extra few minutes drive. But Missouri will never learn...

KS foots the bill and KCMO gets better roads and stuff with the savings

win/win

Maybe. And if so, IMO, that's terrible. And even though it'll just be a short drive across the state line, it won't be the same. A part of KC Missouri, that galvanized generations, will be gone forever.

Good joke

I meant schools, yeah, better schools and soundbars for residents holding strong
