Perkins said it made no sense to keep selling the license plates if the team was going to be based in Kansas. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"2MX6O2ZXMZBK5BBFWWO7X2HTXI\">Perkins did not want to end there, saying that if the Chiefs wanted to move to Kansas so bad, they should just go there immediately. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"OUUU5GYJCFFYNLUNID757NXLUA\">\u201cArrowhead Stadium\u2019s not owned by the Chiefs, it\u2019s owned by the Jackson County Sports Authority,\u201d said Perkins. \u201cIf I were the Jackson County Sports Authority, I\u2019d tell him, get out right now. Just get your stuff and get out now. Go play football at a high school field in Overland Park. I don\u2019t care. Get out. And you can sue me and we can go to court, and I think a Missouri jury might just agree with me right now, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"RBK3QEFS45EOFIOLYLMWO2TLGU\">The Chiefs announced their agreement with Kansas to build the estimated $3 billion facility, aiming toward a 2031 opening. It also sealed the fate of Arrowhead, where the Chiefs have played since 1972. Arrowhead Stadium is one of the largest stadiums in the NFL, with a capacity of approximately 76,416. It\u2019s the second-highest capacity in the league behind AT&amp;T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, which seats 80,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"X7U4GM3KDRHXPIAIAMFH33AW7Y\">It has been described by Copa America, the soccer tournament, as \u201cone of the loudest stadiums in the world.\u201d It will also be a host stadium for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/world-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/world-cup\/\">2026 World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Missouri legislator is still very upset about the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 decision to move from Arrowhead Stadium&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2063],"tags":[346,7,5466,118,110,2438,2437,6,31185],"class_list":["post-759143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-chiefs","tag-football","tag-general-view","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-kansascity","tag-kansascitychiefs","tag-nfl","tag-nflraw25"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116088402221099954","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=759143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759143\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=759143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=759143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=759143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
