Chiefs owner Clark Hunt shared the news with the fans of the franchise after his meeting with the Kansas lawmakers in the state Capitol.

"The location of Chiefs games will change,”Hunt said. "But some things won’t change. Our fans will still be the loudest in the NFL, our games will still be the best place in the world to tailgate, and our players and coaches will be ready to compete for championships, because on the field or off the field, we are big dreamers, and we’re ready for the next chapter.”
