Chiefs Unveil New Company, Shaping Developments Around KCK stadium, Olathe Facility
The family of Clark Hunt, the owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, has formed a new company tasked with shaping the two entertainment districts that will surround the team’s incoming Kansas City, Kansas, stadium and the headquarters and training facility in Olathe, the team and real estate firm Hunt Midwest announced Monday.
That new company, called “Two-Point Development” will develop both mixed-use districts to offer year-round entertainment that will “spur regional economic activity, attract new investment, create new jobs,” and more, according to a news release.
“The Two-Point Development partnership will be the master developer for the design and development of both districts, overseeing the world-class architects, engineers, land planners, and general contractors that will bring the vibrant districts to life,” according to the release.
FC Dallas Unveils Stadium Upgrades
FC Dallas fans returning to Toyota Stadium on Saturday will find some new additions, including a 1,500-square-foot mural honoring four FC Dallas greats and the opening of the stadium’s largest club yet.
Muralist Carly Haynie completed the artwork in about two weeks while working around the North Texas heat.
“We had a hard deadline. We were able to start early so we had some extra time if we needed to quit early if it was too hot,” Haynie said.
The mural and the grand opening of the new East Side Club come as FC Dallas looks to build on increased interest in soccer following the World Cup.
The 12,000-square-foot East Side Club offers an elevated, pub-like experience for fans sitting in sections 126 through 128.
