Chiefs Request Extension For Stadium Deadline

The Kansas City Chiefs will have to make a critical decision on their stadium soon. This decision could alter the franchise forever. It is going to be interesting to see what happens. But the Chiefs have recently asked for more time to make that decision. The Chiefs have requested an extension on the decision they have to make for their future stadium.

"The Kansas City Chiefs have requested an extension to an end-of-June deadline for a stadium financing package from the state of Kansas, an indication that the NFL franchise's potential move across the state line from Missouri is a legitimate possibility," said the Associated Press.

Chiefs President Mark Donovan requested the extension Thursday in a letter to Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. Donovan explained that the Chiefs have made "significant progress" on plans for a new stadium development but that more time is needed to "bring the effort to full fruition."

The Chiefs have one of the best home-field advantages in all of football, if not the best. They do not mess around with their team in Kansas City. There are only a few stadiums in the NFL where the fans have an impact on a game, and the Chiefs are one of them.

Everyone around the National Football League always talks about how it is difficult to play in Arrowhead Stadium, and it is a stadium they do not enjoy playing in. But for the Chiefs, it gives them the best feeling when playing a home game, knowing Chiefs Kingdom comes out and makes a difference.

Now the Chiefs got themselves an aid package signed for them and the Major League Baseball team, the Kansas City Royals, on Saturday. The package was signed to help both teams stay in the state of Missouri if they want to build a new stadium.

"Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has long professed his affinity for Arrowhead Stadium, which was built by his father and team founder Lamar Hunt. But he also is keenly aware of the revenue streams available by building a new domed stadium, including the chance to host the Super Bowl, the Final Four and other marquee sporting events."
