Travis Kelce and Mahomes could move states with Chiefs in talks over new stadium

TRAVIS Kelce and Patrick Mahomes could have to move a state over after news of the Kansas City Chiefs’ talks of a new stadium.

The Chiefs have been playing at their Missouri home since 1972.

The Chiefs last renovated Arrowhead just 15 years ago.

But with the Chiefs’ recent Super Bowl success, the team wants a new stadium.

However, the question is whether they stay at GEHA Field at Arrowhead and rebuild it, or move to a new $3 billion stadium in Kansas.

The latter option would mean that Kelce, Mahomes, and the rest of the gang will have to move states.

The Missouri Legislature has completes its approval of a stadium funding bill for the Chiefs and the MLB’s Kansas City Royals.

The Missouri House of Representatives voted Wednesday by a 90-58 count to send the bill to Governor Mike Kehoe.

The development comes after the state Senate last week approved a message that lets the teams bond against their state payments and, as a result, fund up to half of a new or renovated stadium for the Chiefs and Royals.

A signature is expected soon, as Kehoe has led the charge to keep the Chiefs and Royals from moving to neighboring Kansas.

The approval did come after numerous hours of legislators challenging public support for pro teams owned by billionaires and various bill technicalities.

But a majority of representatives support the bill to retain the teams that will look to continue their economic benefits to the Kansas City area and state.

“This is a zero-sum game. If we lose [the teams], the revenue we’re worried about no longer exists [in Missouri],” Rep. Keri Ingle said.

“The fact that we’d be willing to forgo that, I know we’re smarter than this.”

Ingle also called the Chiefs a “cultural phenomenon” thanks to the services of Mahomes and Kelce, whose relationship with Swift has only increased the popularity of the franchise and area.

“We’re no longer flyover country,” she said.
