A major reminder of how sports, public policy, and real estate intersect.
The Kansas City Chiefs are leaving Missouri after 62 years, heading to Kansas following approval of a tax-funded stadium deal. The plan includes a new domed stadium, training facility, headquarters, and multiple mixed-use districts—a reported $4B+ investment tied to the move.
These relocations rarely stop at the stadium footprint:
- Sports anchors reshape land use patterns
- Mixed-use districts follow public subsidies
- Borders, not metros, often decide where capital lands
- Traffic, infrastructure, and zoning ripple outward
- Adjacent sites see pressure—up or down—depending on positioning
Teams move for incentives. Real estate absorbs the consequences for decades.
