The Kansas City Chiefs are planning an $800 million renovation to Arrowhead Stadium, set to begin after hosting games for the 2026 World Cup and take about four years to complete. The project is contingent on the extension of a tax by voters in Jackson County, Missouri, and would involve significant changes to the stadium, including a new upper concourse, club spaces in the end zones, and a tailgating plaza outside the stadium. The renovation aims to modernize and enhance the iconic 52-year-old stadium, with the Chiefs contributing $300 million toward the overall project.

"Championship Playoff Final: Luton Town's Premier League Dreams on Hold"

Luton Town's Kenilworth Road stadium, which has a capacity of just over 10,000, may host Premier League football next season if the team wins the Championship play-off final against Coventry City. However, the stadium will require a rapid summer upgrade costing between £8-10 million to meet Premier League standards. Luton Town is also hoping to move to a new, purpose-built stadium by the 2026-27 season.
