Kansas City’s new domed stadium makes a Super Bowl appearance more likely, but history and heavy competition suggest it may be a one-time event rather than a recurring destination.
One week ago, Clark Hunt stood at a podium in Topeka to announce the future of the Kansas City Chiefs. After years of speculation, politicking, and debate, Hunt, the team’s chairman and CEO, made it official: the Chiefs are moving to Kansas.
Their new home would be a $3 billion, domed, 68,000-seat stadium to be built in Wyandotte County, about 20 miles west of Arrowhead Stadium.
