Arrowhead Stadium will still be home for Andy Reid’s next few seasons, but the Kansas City Chiefs head coach said he’s excited about the news of a new stadium across the state line. “I think it’s phenomenal news,” Reid said to reporters Tuesday. “I went through this in Philadelphia, where we had one of these deals.” Whether it’s Reid’s past experience with a stadium change, or his general cool, calm and collected demeanor, Reid didn’t seem concerned about the idea of a new location. “It doesn’t matter if it’s here or Kansas,” he said. “We’re not moving to Florida or somewhere else. We’re right here. We’ve always had Kansas people come here to the Missouri side, and it’ll be likewise the other way. That’s the beautiful thing about it. He also said the new stadium will mean upgrades and improvements, something fans can enjoy. “It’ll be a beautiful facility,” Reid said. “And something the fans will be very proud of. It’ll be definitely loud. It’ll be exciting times there.” The new stadium is set to open in Wyandotte County, Kansas, in August 2031. That means coaches and players have five more years to enjoy Arrowhead before saying goodbye to the longtime facility.
