Wyandotte County has a lot of feelings about the Kansas City Chiefs moving into town.

Wyandotte County has a lot of feelings about the Kansas City Chiefs moving into town. And in the neighborhoods surrounding where that recently-approved, $3 billion domed stadium is expected to be built, those feelings vary by the household. Less than 24 hours after local, state and team officials announced Wyandotte County would be the Chiefs’ new home starting in the 2031 season, people living in western KCK told The Star they felt a sense of victory over snatching an NFL team and had concerns about game day traffic and noise. According to the sales tax and revenue, or STAR bonds agreement, legislators approved earlier this week, the Chiefs will play games at a stadium to be built in KCK near Interstate 70 and Interstate 435, which encompasses the westernmost parts of the city. The deal approved Monday also includes a team headquarters and a training facility that will be built in Olathe.
