Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is keeping an open mind regarding Arrowhead Stadium’s future

As preparations for the Kansas City Chiefs 2024 season get underway at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, the future of the franchise’s home remains the leading discussion point.

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt shared his thoughts on the team at Arrowhead Stadium with the media at training camp on Monday.

“We have six-and-a-half years left on our lease at Arrowhead, and GEHA Field at Arrowhead is a special place. It’s special for our fans, and it’s special for the players and the coaches, but we do have to look to the future, and we do need a solution starting in 2031, which I know that Mark (Donovan) mentioned,” said Hunt. “We’re glad to have some options.”

On Friday, team President Mark Donovan called the stadium’s future a generational decision, and Hunt echoed the belief that they should be diligent in their evaluation.

“We really appreciate what the Kansas legislature did in passing the upgrade to the STAR Bond bill that potentially would give us an opportunity to look at a stadium over there, and we’re going to work very hard over the coming months and years to come up with a solution that makes sense for the organization, for the team, but also one that makes sense for the community,” said Hunt. “So, we’re approaching it very much with an open mind and look forward to talking to leaders on both sides of the state line.”

The possibility of leaving Missouri is real as the process continues to take shape with a hopeful resolution on the horizon.
