Overview
- This week Chiefs president Mark Donovan said the team prefers a natural grass playing surface for the $3 billion domed stadium planned to open for the 2031 season.
- Donovan said the franchise is in talks with the NFL about hosting a Super Bowl in 2033–2035 and is aggressively pursuing NCAA Final Four bids as part of early bid planning.
- The Chiefs picked architecture firm Populous to lead design of a $300 million Olathe headquarters and practice campus due in 2031 that will be built to host training camp if the club decides to move it.
- Fans at training camp voiced mixed reactions to the cross‑state move, welcoming the chance to host marquee events while raising concerns about higher ticket costs and potential personal seat licenses.
- The project remains in the conceptual and bid‑planning phase with renderings showing a fully translucent permanent roof and about 70,000 seats, no construction started, and Kansas bond legislation expected to cover a large share of costs.
