Kansas City Chiefs’ New Stadium Will Be Minutes From Travis Kelce’s $6 Million Mansion Where He Proposed to Taylor Swift

The Kansas City Chiefs have secured a new stadium in Kansas, and it is mere minutes away from NFL tight end Travis Kelce's lavish $6 million mansion, where he asked Taylor Swift to marry him.

The four-time Super Bowl-winning team announced that it would be bidding adieu to its longtime home at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri in favor of a new playing location in Kansas.

Beginning in 2031, the team will no longer showcase its skills in Missouri, where the Chiefs have played for over a half-century, according to a statement by team officials released on Dec. 22.

The announcement came days after Kansas lawmakers approved funding for a new stadium in the Sunflower State.

“Today, we are announcing an agreement to bring our beloved Kansas City Chiefs right here to Kansas," Gov. Laura Kelly said. "For the rest of the nation, I say take heed. Kansas is not a flyover state. We are a touchdown state.”

Clark Hunt, Chiefs owner and son of NFL team founder Lamar Hunt, compared the stadium's move to his father's bold nature, adding that it will bring a new level of football to the Midwest.

According to a statement from Hunt, their new playing field will feature a domed stadium that will be part of a “mixed-use district in Wyandotte County, and a best-in-class training facility, team headquarters, and mixed-use district in Olathe, totaling a minimum of $4 billion of development in the State of Kansas.

“When my father started the American Football League, he had big dreams, both for the league and for his team.

“His focus in every instance was to give the fans the best possible experience. Today is another step in that legacy of innovation and that fan-first mentality at the Kansas City Chiefs. We chase big dreams on the field, those dreams involve division titles, conference championships, and Lombardi Trophies. But off the field, we are big dreamers as well," Hunt told reporters.

The new stadium of the NFL team, which has soared in popularity in recent years, will be just minutes away from Kelce's luxe pad, where he asked Swift, 36, to marry him.

The 36-year-old athlete's home served as the backdrop for his engagement to Swift, which occurred in August.

It comes as no surprise that Kelce chose to ask Swift to marry him at his home, as it boasts an overwhelming amount of privacy and lush greenery—two things the pop star is known for adoring.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end snapped up the 17,000-square-foot mansion in the desirable suburb of Leawood, KS, in September 2022 for $6 million.

Located inside a gated community, the grand estate sits on nearly 3.5 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

The six-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion sits behind a gated entrance that opens to a dramatic circular driveway. The inside is an entertainer's dream and includes a chef's kitchen, formal dining room, media lounge, wine cellar, and full bar.

Outside, the expansive backyard is anchored by a "Beverly Hills-style" pool area with plenty of space for lounge chairs, umbrellas, and pool toys.

There's also an outdoor kitchen, a tennis/pickleball court, a waterfall, a hot tub, and a miniature golf course.

The abode is far more secluded than his other home in Kansas City, a 4,200-square-foot abode in the city's Briarcliff West neighborhood that he purchased for $995,000 in 2019.

The NFL star, who began dating the "Lover" hitmaker in 2023, popped the question with a stunning diamond ring that perfectly matched the other sparkler that he previously gifted her.

They captioned the Instagram post, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

According to TMZ, the sparkler on Swift's finger is an old mine brilliant cut and the designer is Kindred Lubeck.

Kelce perfectly matched Swift's chic aesthetic by sporting a navy blue collared shirt and a pair of white pants.

The singer appeared to be overjoyed with the proposal as she embraced Kelce in a slew of photos while showing off her stunning diamond ring.

In one photo, Kelce could be seen kneeling among a garden of roses while Swift appeared shocked.

In another snap, Swift softly grabbed Kelce's face as she leaned in to hug him.

The newly engaged couple even posed for a photo on a swing, where Swift lay her head on Kelce's shoulder and gave the camera a soft smile.

According to Page Six, the engagement has been in the works for quite some time, with Kelce having reportedly asked Swift's dad, Scott, for her hand in marriage just months after they began dating.
