The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Clark | AECOM, a joint venture of Clark Construction Group and AECOM Hunt, as the construction team for the franchise’s new stadium in Wyandotte County, Kansas. The joint venture will turn the initial design concept into a buildable, permitted and budgeted project, lead the strategy and schedule for competitive bidding, and identify qualified subcontractors and suppliers. MANICA is lead architect and HNTB is architect of record.
The enclosed stadium will hold about 70,000 people and is costed at 3 billion dollars. It anchors a 4.5 billion dollar capital investment programme in Kansas that also includes a 300 million dollar headquarters and practice facility in Olathe and 1.2 billion dollars of adjacent private development. The team reached its agreement with the state of Kansas in December 2025 and plans to finance the project in part with sales tax and revenue bonds, known as STAR bonds.
Site work is set to start in 2027 and the stadium is slated to open in 2031, ending the Chiefs’ tenure at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri. The project is AECOM’s fourth active NFL stadium project and Clark’s third.
