The NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs have partnered with Kansas City-based engineering and construction firm Burns & McDonnell.

The Chiefs said that under the terms of the multi-year partnership, Burns & McDonnell become the Official Engineering & Construction Partner of the Chiefs and gain sponsor rights to the team’s valuable jersey practice patch.

Burns & McDonnell will also own other key logo placements, including signage on the club’s press conference podiums, microphone flags, on fencing around the team’s practice fields at the University of Kansas Health System Training Complex, as well as in the player entrance tunnel at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri (US). The Chiefs compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the American Football Conference West Division.

The 76,416-capacity GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is an American football stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. It primarily serves as the home venue of the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL).

The University of Kansas Health System Training Complex features two natural turf playing fields with integral drainage and irrigation systems. A pre-engineered building that houses a 70-yard artificial turf playing field, approximately 9,000 square feet of training/locker room space and a maintenance facility are also included in the complex.

Chiefs President Mark Donovan said, “We are very excited and proud to announce this comprehensive and unique partnership with the great team at Burns & McDonnell.

“As an employee-owned, Kansas City company, Burns & McDonnell has a long history and deep connection to Chiefs Kingdom and the people of Kansas City, while their footprint and work span the globe.

“Our team thrives on building programs that drive true value to our partners locally, regionally, nationally, and beyond, and we look forward to being on this journey with them.”

The partnership also comes with a robust hospitality package that allows Burns & McDonnell to engage customers in new ways while providing a platform to grow national visibility, elevate the brand, deepen client engagement, strengthen recruiting and talent attraction, and expand impact in the community.

Burns & McDonnell Chair and CEO Leslie Duke said, “Now is the perfect time for two Kansas City champions – one on the field, one in engineering and construction – to join forces and show the world what we can achieve together.

“Our partnership with the Kansas City Chiefs is about more than football or construction – it is about pride, progress and building the future of Kansas City.”
