SAD NEWS: announced that Thomas flegler is leaving Kansas city chiefs today after facing…..

Kansas City Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt has hinted at a potential relocation for the team once their lease at Arrowhead Stadium expires after the 2030 NFL season, leaving fans in doubt about the future of the team in Kansas City.

The suggestion comes after voters in Jackson County, where the Chiefs play, rejected a sales tax measure that would have partially funded renovations to Arrowhead.

The funds would also have contributed to the construction of a new stadium for the Kansas City Royals, who currently play at Kauffman Stadium, located opposite Arrowhead.

The Chiefs had estimated that the proposed renovations to Arrowhead would cost around $800 million, with the team pledging to contribute $300 million towards this.

However, following the vote, almost 60% of voters opposed the sales tax, leading Hunt to suggest that the Chiefs and Royals would need to find an alternative way to finance their respective stadiums.

Speaking to ESPN, Hunt said: “At this point it makes sense for both of us to work independently.

There’s certainly nothing to preclude us coming back and doing something together, but [Royals owner John Sherman] also feels that sense of urgency and I know he’s eager to try to find a long-term solution, which we are as well.”

“Stadium development projects just take a long time and I don’t want to put a specific number on it, but with only six-and-a-half years left on the lease, we’re going to have to work very hard over the next year, year and a half to see if we can find an option.”
