TOPEKA, Kan. — The Kansas City Chiefs announced they will leave their longtime home at Arrowhead Stadium for a new, domed stadium that will be built across the Kansas-Missouri state line and be ready for the start of the 2031 season.

The announcement Monday came shortly after a council of top Kansas lawmakers voted unanimously inside a packed room at the state Capitol to allow for STAR bonds to be issued to cover up to 70% of the cost of the stadium and accompanying mixed-use district. The Chiefs have played at Arrowhead in Kansas City, Missouri, since 1972.

Notre Dame adding BYU

Notre Dame and Southern California’s iconic college football rivalry is on hold.

The Fighting Irish announced Monday they filled their last 2026 open date with a game against BYU. This decision leaves the USC game off the schedule for now.

Notre Dame and USC officials said they recognize the rivalry’s importance and are working to bring it back. The series began in 1926 and has been paused before, including during World War II and the 2020 pandemic.

Negotiations have become more challenging since USC joined the Big Ten, but both schools express a desire to continue the tradition.
