Despite falling to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, losing out on the first-ever three-peat, Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs still remain one of the more successful franchises in recent memory.

During his 12-year career in Kansas City, Kelce has helped lead the Chiefs to five Super Bowl appearances, winning three.

He also contributed to the team drawing the highest viewership in 2024, averaging 25.5 million viewers per game. Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, may have had a part to play as well.

Despite all the success, team owner Clark Hunt is still considering a major change to the franchise, a change that could cost him roughly $3 billion.

Per The Athletic’s Nate Taylor, Hunt and Kansas City are still deciding whether to play in Missouri or Kansas after the 2030 NFL season, a decision they hope to have by the end of June.

The Chiefs have played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri since 1972, making it the third-oldest active stadium in the NFL. Despite its popularity, the venue has never hosted a Super Bowl.

If the team opts to keep Arrowhead, they could choose to renovate it and add a dome, opening the door to hosting major events like the Super Bowl, Final Four and College Football Playoff games.

Another option the Chiefs have discussed is abandoning Arrowhead entirely and building a new domed stadium in the state of Kansas. This could provide the organization with similar options as restoring Arrowhead, but would likely cost much more.

“Both options are very much in play,” Hunt said. “Really, our timeline is driven more by having enough time to do the renovation work or the construction so that we can be in the new or renovated building in the summer of 2031. To really comfortably stay on schedule, it would be best to have some direction by the summer.”

While Hunt is eyeing higher profits, Kelce may not be as thrilled about the idea of the Chiefs leaving Arrowhead. However, he’s willing to accept it if that’s what the fans want.

“Arrowhead is home for me,” Kelce commented. “It’s a part of my heart, playing in that stadium. But the fans want what the fans want. We play for them. I think it’s up to them.”

While many Chiefs fans are open to the idea of a new stadium, some are not. According to The Athletic, season ticket holder Lesley Wright prefers the team to remain in the city.

“It was a hard decision,” Wright said. “I’m the biggest advocate for a downtown stadium. I love the Chiefs and Royals, but I felt as if the plan was not put together well. I didn’t feel right about it.”
