On Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs and Burns & McDonnell announced a multi-year partnership during a press event held at the club's practice fields. The agreement names Burns & McDonnell as the Official Engineering & Construction Partner of the Kansas City Chiefs and grants them sponsorship rights to the team's practice jersey patch.

"We are very excited and proud to announce this comprehensive and unique partnership with the great team at Burns & McDonnell," said Chiefs President Mark Donovan. "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 includes several key branding opportunities for Burns & McDonnell. In addition to their logo appearing on the team's practice jerseys, it will also be displayed on press conference podiums, microphone flags, fencing around the practice fields at The University of Kansas Health System Training Complex, and in the player entrance tunnel at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

"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," said Leslie Duke, Chair and CEO of Burns & McDonnell. "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."

Burns & McDonnell will also receive a hospitality package as part of this agreement. This package aims to help them engage customers in new ways while providing opportunities to grow national visibility for their brand, deepen client engagement, strengthen recruiting efforts, attract talent, and expand their impact within the community.
