Chris Simms claims Dallas Cowboys getting potentially new state-mate with Chiefs failing to woo voters on $800,000,000 project
Despite not winning a Super Bowl since the 1900s, the Dallas Cowboys may soon have a neighboring team that has achieved this feat.
During a discussion on “Pro Football Talk,”Chris Simms mentioned two potential cities in Texas where Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs could potentially end up: San Antonio and Austin. According to Simms, Austin was deemed to have a higher likelihood than San Antonio.
“I think Austin would be before San Antonio,”Simms said. “The Longhorns might not like it. The University of Texas might not like it. But the NFL, I’m sure, wouldn’t mind getting down there and you know the southwest Texas area and get a little of that piece of the pie there.”[00:01:19] PFT.
Texas has been a top contender for receiving a new team for multiple years now, thanks to the strong turnout at the spring leagues during the early 2020s.
Past iterations of the XFL and the AAF have shown that Texas football fans have a strong desire for football to support in April, possibly more so than fans in any other region of the country.
Possible Reasons for Speculation of a Relocation for the Kansas City Chiefs
For those who are not up to date, the team’s latest endeavor was a renovation project for Arrowhead Stadium following their Super Bowl victory. The project, which would amount to $800 million, would primarily rely on a tax imposed on the community residing near Rashee Rice’s stadium.
Despite the potential to generate funds for the Kansas City Royals, the bill failed to pass, leaving both the football team and the Royals in need of alternative sources of funding. Prior to the vote, Chiefs team president Mark Donovan reportedly warned that the team would have to find a new stadium if the bill did not pass, according to NBC Sports.
According to KMBC, Donovan expressed his disappointment in response to the vote result, which showed a failure of 78,352 to 56,606.
“We’re disappointed,”Donovan said. “We were ready to extend the longstanding partnership that the teams have enjoyed with this county.
“We will look to do what is in the best interest of our fans and our organization as we move forward.”
Naturally, the term he used was “county.”This suggests that Travis Kelce’s team may relocate to a different county. While moving to a neighboring county may not be as significant as moving to Texas, the destination can quickly change once the decision is made to uproot and move.
As of now, both analysts and fans are anticipating a potential significant transformation for Patrick Mahomes’ team in the upcoming future.
