Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes breaks silence regarding the ongoing stadium dilemma in Kansas City Metro Area<\/a> originally appeared on A to Z Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the most hotly debated topics in the Kansas City Metro Area currently is the stadium dilemma that the Chiefs and the MLB’s Royals are facing.<\/p>\n

In 2024 Jackson County voters rejected an extension of the 3\/8-cent sales tax that would have been used to renovate the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium and build a new stadium for the Royals in the downtown area.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs and Royals are now listening to offers from both Missouri and Kansas. If the Chiefs remain in Missouri, the 53-year-old Arrowhead Stadium will undergo more renovations. If they elect to move to Kansas, they will get a brand new stadium.<\/p>\n

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes broke his silence on the stadium issue during\u00a0an interview with CNBC<\/a>:<\/p>\n

From CNBC: \u201cIt\u2019s really out of my control. But I think Arrowhead is a special place. It\u2019s a special place that doesn\u2019t come around a lot of times. It\u2019s my favorite place to play in the NFL — not just because it\u2019s my team, but you can feel the history of it when you play. I know Kansas has done a great bid as well and they would build us a great stadium and facility. I don\u2019t really have a choice in the matter anyway, but I think either way we can\u2019t go wrong because we have the fanbase of Chiefs Kingdom behind us and they\u2019ll fill that stadium no matter if it\u2019s in Missouri or Kansas. I\u2019m just excited for the future of the Kansas City Chiefs.”<\/p>\n

That is a refreshing and levelheaded take by Mahomes. Some Kansas City residents have gotten quite bent out of shape regarding the matter, but as Mahomes said, the important thing is that the Chiefs are staying in the K.C. area. Staying in Missouri or moving to the Kansas side each have their advantages and disadvantages, but it’s the fans that are the heartbeat of any stadium.<\/p>\n
