Chiefs in talks for $3 billion stadium relocation while preparing for Arrowhead hosting sporting event
Arrowhead Stadium Hosts the Battle Sports Kansas City Classic in 2025
Arrowhead Stadium, known as the loudest outdoor stadium in the world, will be the venue for the Battle Sports Kansas City Classic on August 28, 2025. This marks the 44th college football game to be played at the stadium, which is the home of the four-time NFL Super Bowl champion Chiefs.
The event will feature a thrilling matchup between the University of Cincinnati Bearcats and the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. Nebraska fans are expected to take over Arrowhead Stadium during the game, with approximately 60,000 tickets estimated to have been purchased by them.
Matt Kenny, EVP of Arrowhead Operations & Events, expects a comfortable and vibrant environment for Nebraska fans at the event. Mark Donovan, president of the Chiefs, shares this sentiment and hopes that the Battle Sports Kansas City Classic will become an annual event. However, current announcements only confirm the 2025 game and do not mention plans for making it a recurring event.
The Chiefs' lease at Arrowhead Stadium is due to expire in 2031, but a formal decision has not yet been made on whether they will stay and renovate the stadium or move. Proposed plans for a new state-of-the-art dome in Kansas City are estimated to cost $3 billion. If the Chiefs decide to relocate to a new stadium in Kansas City in the future, the Battle Sports Kansas City Classic could potentially move with them.
Mark Donovan stated that they are excited to bring Husker fans down to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for a cool experience for the fans and the teams. He feels that the close-tied ties between the Chiefs and Nebraska fans was one of the key motivations for picking the Huskers as one of the teams.
Cincinnati will be the home team in this particular contest, but the Nebraska matchup has raised the excitement levels over playing at the home of the NFL's latest dynasty. Over 66,000 tickets have been sold for the Battle Sports Kansas City Classic, making it a highly anticipated event.
As the date approaches, fans on both sides are gearing up for an unforgettable college football experience at Arrowhead Stadium. The Battle Sports Kansas City Classic is set to kick off at 8pm CT on August 28, 2025.
