The Kansas City Chiefs named a joint venture of Clark Construction Group and AECOM as the construction team for a planned stadium in Wyandotte County, Kan., ENR reported.
The National Football League franchise selected MANICA as lead architect, HNTB as architect of record and CAA ICON as owner’s representative in July for the 3-billion-dollar enclosed stadium. Designed to hold 70,000 spectators, the facility is planned to serve as the centerpiece for a surrounding entertainment and mixed-use hub.
“As we finish the overall design, Clark | AECOM will help us advance the project further by identifying more certainty around project scope, budget and scheduling,” said Chiefs President Mark Donovan in a news release.
The club, stadium designers, owner’s representative and other key stakeholders are working with the joint venture to transform the initial stadium design concept into a buildable, permitted and budgeted project. MANICA and HNTB are currently working on layout updates for the facility, which cover the seating bowl, premium areas, backstage operations and foundational infrastructure.
The construction team is providing input aimed at improving constructability, functionality and operational flexibility. That includes recommendations on material availability and procurement, installation methods and construction timelines.
“NFL stadium projects present some of the most complex challenges in our industry, and that’s where our team thrives,” said Ken Johnson, executive vice president and sports market leader at AECOM Hunt, in a news release.
The Clark and AECOM team will also lead strategy and scheduling for competitively bidding the work. This includes gauging market interest, identifying qualified subcontractors and suppliers and evaluating their experience, resources and availability.
Sitework is set to begin in 2027.
