Billionaire Clark Hunt's lavish Arrowhead Stadium penthouse, center of speculation over a £3bn stadium transfer
In the heart of Kansas City, the iconic Arrowhead Stadium, home to NFL superstars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Chiefs team, is facing a significant challenge. The stadium, opened in 1972 by Lamar Hunt, has not received any major upgrades since then, falling far behind the standards set by other teams around the league.
Recently, the NFL stadium has been the subject of a lawsuit, arguing that the $800 million renovation plans are unconstitutional. The lawsuit contends that the plans grant public money to private persons, involve multiple subjects, and have deviated from their original purpose. The outcome of this legal battle is yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs have been ranked 26th overall in the NFL Player Association's 2025 report cards for overall working conditions for the players. This is an improvement from their 31st place ranking in 2024, but the team still has room for improvement. The Chiefs' weight room was ranked 30th, their training room was ranked 29th, and their locker room was ranked 28th (D-), ahead of only the Commanders (F), Denver Broncos (F), Cleveland Browns (F-), and Arizona Cardinals (F-).
There is some indication that locker rooms and club suites have been discussed regarding stadium conditions, but no clear comparison about the quality of working conditions relative to other NFL stadiums is provided. Regarding Clark Hunt's owner suite, there is no explicit confirmation or update on its renovation status. However, a video posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) gives an inside look at the Hunt family's suite, which had a multi-million dollar renovation.
The Chiefs' owner, Clark Hunt, has a three-story mansion inside Arrowhead Stadium, considered the loudest outdoor venue in sports. The suite spans three stories, has a huge spiral staircase, stained glass windows, ample television screens, a kitchen area, multiple indoor seating arrangements, and seats in the owner's box that look out onto the field of play.
Clark Hunt, who is worth $1.6 billion, has recently been granted a decision extension that runs to the end of 2025. As the Chiefs face this lawsuit and poor rankings in the NFLPA report, they have two options for their future: to renovate Arrowhead Stadium or to move across state lines to a $3 billion brand-new state-of-the-art dome in Kansas City. The raucous atmosphere at Arrowhead has yielded a significant advantage for the home team, according to head coach Andy Reid, but the question remains whether these improvements will be enough to keep the Chiefs in their current home.
