KANSAS CITY — “🎵Fish don’t fry in the kitchen, beans don’t burn on the grill.🎵” Yessir! Our Kansas City Chiefs are movin’ on up like George & Weezy. Owner Clark Hunt and his retinue released renderings of the new domed stadium set to open in Kansas City, Kansas in 2031. It’s a replica of Arrowhead, but state-of-the-art. It’ll be the best in the NFL by far. Better than Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Better than Jerry World in Dallas. “Today we are excited to show Chiefs Kingdom a first look at our new home,” Hunt said. “From the beginning, our goal has been to build something that improved the gameday experience for every single fan. This new stadium will do just that. It’s spectacular. It honors the rich legacy of this franchise while setting a bold course for the future of Chiefs Kingdom. While we’re still finalizing many of the details, there are a few things we know for sure: it will hold 70,000 fans, it will still be the best place in the world to tailgate, and the whole building will be built for noise.”

With a construction cost of $3 billion, the climate-controlled palace features a fully-enclosed roof with translucent ETFE panels that’ll allow us to descry military flyovers, and it’ll have more than 20,000 parking spots. Like Mr. Hunt said, our tailgating 🌭 experience will be enhanced. The new stadium also creates opportunities to host the World Cup, the Final Four, WrestleMania and, of course, a Super Bowl. Chiefs President Mark Donovan announced the two Kansas City firms that’ll make all of this happen. “We’re proud to name MANICA as our lead design architect and HNTB as the architect of record for this transformational stadium,” he said.

“We are incredibly fortunate that Kansas City is home to world-class sports and entertainment design talent, and that has been on full display throughout this process. David (Manica) and the MANICA team stood out throughout a rigorous months-long process, honoring and embracing our history while presenting a bold and dynamic vision for the future. We look forward to working alongside both firms to refine these plans and deliver the premier sports and entertainment venue not only in the Midwest, but in the world.”

Social media reaction was Icy Hot.

One commenter wrote, “Who gives a sh*t about opportunities? As long as we still go to the Super Bowl and win I don’t give a f*ck about hosting one. It’s the stupidest sh*t ever. Tickets are gonna be very expensive. I live in Missouri, and watching Kansas taxpayers pay for the whole $3 billion stadium when the billionaire owner won’t have to pay a dime, that’s the real travesty.”

Another person added, “Y’all Missouri residents are bitter as f*ck. Arrowhead was great through the years, but this sh*t is fuckin’ amazing. I’m glad they are building it in Kansas at the Legends where there is so much to do. Ain’t nothin’ at the Truman Sports Complex but a Taco Bell. Go Chiefs!”
