There are currently 11 teams with indoor home stadiums in the National Football League (NFL), with five other teams currently building, or planning to build, new indoor/domed stadiums.
The other five teams joining the Chiefs include the Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Commanders. Once all of these new stadiums are completed, there will be 17 indoor teams in the NFL, which would make up over half the league. With more teams moving indoors, there will be fewer delays or cancellation of games due to the weather.

In 2024, one of the coldest NFL games on record was played at Arrowhead Stadium. The temperature reached -4 degrees and the wind chill dropped to -27 degrees, leaving over 30 fans to be treated for frostbite, with a dozen undergoing amputation surgeries. With a controlled climate in the new stadium, those cases of frostbite will be non-existent.
