    The Kansas City Chiefs' future home is designed by lead architect MANICA, alongside the architect of record, HNTB. The project is a massive shift for the franchise as it prepares to leave Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri after nearly six decades.

    The design of the Kansas City Chiefs' new stadium, set to open in 2031, honors the team's historical roots. The 70,000-seat stadium features a fully enclosed, weather-proof roof constructed with translucent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) panels. This allows natural light to flood the field while protecting fans from extreme winter cold.

    The engineers designed the stadium's shape specifically to trap and amplify crowd noise. It makes sure that Arrowhead's legendary home-field advantage remains intact despite the move.

    The bowl mirrors Arrowhead’s iconic design, including symmetrical curved lines, scalloped upper deck end zones, the classic Ring of Honor, and a dedicated Drum Deck for pregame traditions.

    The stadium is the centerpiece of a larger $4.5 billion capital investment in Kansas. Beyond the venue itself, the project includes a $300 million team practice facility and headquarters in Olathe, Kansas, alongside $1.2 billion in private real estate and entertainment developments.

    It has been financed through a public-private partnership backed by Sales Tax and Revenue (STAR) bonds. The indoor facility opens up the Kansas City metro region to host massive international events, including future Super Bowls, NCAA Final Fours, and major indoor concert tours.
