Chiefs reportedly put out request for proposals for a new stadium in Kansas

TOPEKA, Kansas — The Kansas City Chiefs put out a request for proposals to design a new stadium on the Kansas side of the state line and are negotiating for land near the Kansas Speedway, according to two reports from Kansas City area talk show hosts.

Pete Mundo of KCMO talk radio broke the news that the Chiefs contacted multiple firms regarding a new stadium to be built at Interstate 435 and Interstate 70. He said the news was confirmed by several sources.

Mundo stressed that the RFP didn’t mean the Chiefs had selected Kansas as the location for a new stadium and added that his “gut” said they would stay in Missouri.

On Monday, Kevin Kietzman said on his podcast that the Chiefs are in negotiations with NASCAR and the state of Kansas to acquire land just west of the Kansas Speedway. He said the Chiefs also may be building a hotel by the Hollywood Casino and creating an entertainment district.

1. The Former Jackson

County executive (he got voted out or basically fired from his office in September) didn’t care if the Royals or Chiefs stayed in the KCMO and Jackson County. One of the many reasons he got voted out/fired. Now our republican governor is suggesting putting a retractable roof over the current stadium. Don’t know how that would work on an old stadium though. Too little to late governor and Jackson County.
