Chiefs Release Renderings of Proposed Kansas Stadium

The Kansas City Chiefs released renderings in July of a proposed future stadium on the Kansas side of the metropolitan area, offering fans their first detailed look at what a move across the state line could involve.

The images generated buzz among the team's enormous fan base in Kansas, where Chiefs loyalty runs deep from the Kansas City suburbs to the smallest towns on the plains. State leaders have pursued a plan aimed at bringing the franchise's home to Kansas, and the renderings marked a step in that ongoing effort.

Any stadium project of that scale would carry major economic and civic implications, from construction jobs and infrastructure to the regional tug-of-war over one of the most popular teams in professional sports. Officials and fans alike have watched the process closely.

For Kansans who fill living rooms and sports bars in red every autumn Sunday, the prospect of the team playing on their side of the line added a new dimension to an already fervent fandom.
