Report: Chiefs' New Stadium Renderings Leaked in Photos amid Arrowhead Uncertainty

Kansas City Chiefs fans can now at least visualize what a new stadium might look like.

As John Holt of Fox 4 Kansas City noted, sports architect David Manica designed visuals for what a replacement stadium could look like if the Chiefs move out of Arrowhead Stadium and across state lines to Kansas:

Manica is from the Kansas City area and has a headquarters in the city. He said the conceptual designs were "inspired by the form and spirit of our historic Arrowhead Stadium, but it offers a wider variety of experiences for its fans."

This is not his first experience with NFL stadium design, as he designed Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for the Raiders and the Tennessee Titans' new stadium that is under construction. What's more, he designed a proposed new stadium on the lakefront in the Windy City for the Chicago Bears.

There remain question marks about whether the Chiefs will remain in Missouri.

Earlier this month, Dave Skretta of the Associated Press reported more than 58 percent of voters in Jackson County, Missouri, rejected a sales-tax plan that would have replaced an already existing three-eighths of a cent sales tax with a similar one.

The new one would have been in place for the next 40 years and helped fund a new ballpark for Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals and renovations for the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs had pledged $300 million in private funding that would have also helped an $800 million renovation project.

"We would not be willing to sign a lease for another 25 years without the financing to properly renovate and reimagine the stadium," Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said. "The financing puzzle is very important to us to make sure we have enough funds to do everything we've outlined."

The Chiefs have been in Kansas City since the 1963 campaign when they were members of the AFL.

They are also the dominant franchise of the recent NFL landscape with three Super Bowl titles during the last five seasons. Yet that hasn't removed uncertainty about the future home of the franchise.
