KANSAS CITY, Mo. – On Monday, during a press event on the sideline of the club's practice fields, the Chiefs and Kansas City-based Burns & McDonnell announced a multi-year partnership that makes the engineering and construction firm the Official Engineering & Construction Partner of the Kansas City Chiefs and provides them sponsor rights to the team's valuable practice patch.

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

In addition to the highly visible practice jersey patch asset program, Burns & McDonnell will 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.

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

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.
