The Kansas City Chiefs made a major announcement on Monday, as they revealed their move from Missouri and Arrowhead Stadium to a new domed stadium in Kansas. The Chiefs, in conjunction with Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, announced in a joint statement from owner and chairman Clark Hunt that the team will be heading to Kansas City, Kansas, following a meeting of the Kansas Legislative Coordinating Council.
