Chiefs fans are furious at thought of team leaving Kansas City
Kansas City Chiefs fans are up in arms after team president Mark Donovan opened up the door for the team to relocate.
Could the Kansas City Chiefs be leaving Arrowhead in the near future? This isn’t what anyone wants to hear, but team president Mark Donovan said that the team is cononsidering new stadium options outside of KC.
Not only that, Donovan said that the organization is looking at different locations in Kansas state. This has vibes that remind people of the San Francisco 49ers moving to Santa Clara. It goes without saying, but no Chiefs fans want to see this happen.
Chiefs prez Mark Donovan, when asked this AM about potential new stadium options, said the team has considered options in state of Kansas. They like Arrowhead and legacy of Lamar Hunt’s stadium, but have been pitched by Kansas developers on a bunch of options. Something to watch.

Sure, put it on the old sprint campus, because that worked out so well for Kansas. Kansas developers need to stay the hell out of it, they tried for MCI, there will be trouble for them if they move. I’ll never support the team if they move.

If this happens I’m going to start tweeting about how they’re a Kansas team and people from Missouri aren’t real fans 🤣

Everyone is wondering why the Chiefs can’t stay loyal to Kansas City. With that said, a move to Kansas from Missouri really wouldn’t be that far, but it’s still enough to have local fans up in arms over the team’s thinking.
There’s rich history in Kansas City and people don’t want that to be removed. With the way this team is built too, of course led by the amazing play of Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs could be in line to bring home another Lombardi Trophy in the near future. The Kansas City faithful want that to happen, but in Missouri, not Kansas. Donovan will surely see this fan reaction and need to provide some follow up context as soon as possible.
