For the second year in a row, the NFLPA has publicly released player team report cards, grading all 32 NFL teams on various aspects, from coaching, family treatment, and facilities, such as the locker room. While the Kansas City Chiefs have won the past two Super Bowls, they’ve also generated some very poor remarks from their own players in these NFLPA grades, Andrew Buller-Russ of Sportsnaut reports..

One of the worst grades the Chiefs received was due to their facilities, where Kansas City ranked 31st, only ahead of the Washington Commanders. The only area in which the Chiefs graded worse was where Clark Hunt ranked as the worst owner in the NFL, thanks to the poor conditions of the facilities in addition to the team’s overall quality of care for its players and their families.

However, the 47 Chiefs players who were polled for the survey did so with the belief that the Chiefs were set to renovate the team’s locker room just after the 2022 season concluded. Yet, a renovation never came, and according to The Athletic, this left Chiefs players feeling misled.

Yet, according to Hunt, no one ever promised to upgrade the facilities, so he’s not sure why players believed otherwise.

“I have spoken to some of our veteran players about that, and they’ve confirmed to me that it was miscommunication. Certainly, I personally never said anything to them about a renovation of the locker room. It was a misunderstanding.”

While the Chiefs may not be getting a renovated locker room in the very near future, we could see major changes down the line. 

Yet, those plans are contingent on an upcoming vote to approve a three-eighths-cent sales tax. If passed, the Chiefs plan to renovate Arrowhead Stadium, yet the overhaul may not be completed until 2031, the final year on Patrick Mahomes’ contract.

Nevertheless, Hunt said he anticipates further “significant investments” in the training facility this year at the very least.
