As the Chiefs ponder whether to renovate Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri or to build a new stadium in Kansas, the face of the franchise is playing both sides of the fence.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, it is really out of my control, honestly,\u201d quarterback Patrick Mahomes said this week in an interview with Alex Sherman of CNBC Sport. \u201cBut I think there\u2019s a \u2014 Arrowhead is a special place. It\u2019s a special place that doesn\u2019t come around a lot of times. It\u2019s my favorite place to play in the NFL, not just because it\u2019s my team, but you can feel the history of it when you play.\u201d<\/p>\n
Advantage Missouri?<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I know Kansas has done a great bit as well,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cAnd I mean, they would build a great stadium and facility and be the top of the top. And so I don\u2019t really have a choice no matter, anyways, but I think either way, we can\u2019t go wrong, because we have the fan base of the Chiefs Kingdom behind us, and they\u2019ll fill that stadium, no matter if it\u2019s in Missouri or Kansas. So I\u2019m just excited for the future of the Kansas City Chiefs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s current lease runs through the 2030 season, when Mahomes will be 34. If\/when they open a new stadium in Kansas City the following season, he\u2019ll be turning 35. <\/p>\n
While he\u2019ll be closer to the end of his career than the beginning, Mahomes could still have several good years left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the Chiefs ponder whether to renovate Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri or to build a new stadium in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-2921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
