The Kansas City Chiefs announced that they are moving across the Missouri border to Kansas after lawmakers there approved a public financing package to build a new stadium on Monday.

The public-private partnership will fund a $3 billion stadium in Wyandotte County, which will open at the start of the 2031 National Football League season, and a new Chiefs headquarters and a training facility in neighboring Johnson County. Both sites will be surrounded by mixed-use entertainment districts, according to a statement from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly.
