As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their preseason finale against the Chicago Bears on August 22, 2025, there is a palpable buzz in the air surrounding not just the team’s performance but also an exciting off-the-field development. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is eager to get back into action, is not only focused on his game preparations but also preparing for a milestone moment in his life—his 30th birthday.

A Celebration on and Off the Field

Mahomes, known for his incredible achievements on the field, is about to hit a personal milestone. The three-time Super Bowl MVP is set to celebrate his 30th birthday on September 17, 2025, which coincidentally is also the opening night of 1587 Prime, the highly anticipated steakhouse he co-founded with his long-time teammate, tight end Travis Kelce. The restaurant, located in the Loews Hotel in Kansas City, has been in the works since March 2024 and will open its doors just in time for Mahomes’ special day.

This coincidence has stirred excitement both for the restaurant’s opening and Mahomes’ personal celebration. Mahomes himself added to the excitement by commenting on the restaurant’s post: “30th Birthday Party?!?! 🎉🥳.” Kelce, ever the teammate, joined in, adding, “Let’s go KC!!! 🔥🔥.” The two stars are not only teammates on the field but also close friends and now business partners in this exciting venture. Their partnership in 1587 Prime has captured the attention of Chiefs fans and the Kansas City community alike.

The Buzz Surrounding 1587 Prime

The grand opening of 1587 Prime promises to be a spectacular event. This upscale, two-story restaurant spans an impressive 10,000 square feet and aims to offer diners a premium steakhouse experience. As if opening a restaurant wasn’t exciting enough, Mahomes and Kelce have managed to turn it into an event fans won’t forget. To add to the excitement, the opening is scheduled for the same date as Mahomes’ birthday. It’s the perfect combination of a personal milestone and a professional achievement.

Reservations for the opening night of 1587 Prime quickly filled up after the booking site went live on August 20, 2025. In fact, the restaurant’s entire reservation calendar through October has already been fully booked, highlighting the immense demand. Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt’s wife, Tavia Hunt, expressed her excitement to dine at the restaurant, commenting, “We can’t wait to indulge! 🙌❤️.” Even comedian Rob Riggle joined the excitement, adding, “This is gonna be my new favorite restaurant in KC no doubt!!!! Congrats!!! 🍾👊🏻💥😃.”

Kelce and Mahomes: The Perfect Pair

On the field, Mahomes and Kelce have been dynamic together for years. But as the Chiefs’ preseason game against the Bears draws closer, both players are focused on their game preparation. While fans express concern about Mahomes’ health during the preseason, Head Coach Andy Reid stands by his decision to play the starters, including Mahomes. Reid emphasized the importance of this game for the players to stay in rhythm, especially with the Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers coming up on September 5, 2025.

For Travis Kelce, the 2025 season holds special significance. At 35 years old, Kelce has made it clear that this could be his 13th and final season in the NFL. Despite his age, Kelce has been working harder than ever, promising to get into the best shape of his career. His commitment to excellence is evident in the way he speaks about his quarterback, Mahomes. “It seems like he’s always a step ahead,” Kelce told ESPN. “His arm is alive right now. It’s fun to see him know the play and know where he’s going before the snap happens. He’s our biggest, fearless competitor.”

A Year of Milestones

The upcoming season isn’t just a milestone for Mahomes, but for Kelce as well. Both players are already looking ahead, with Mahomes leading the team as a fierce competitor and Kelce pushing his physical limits to ensure he’s in peak form. Their connection on and off the field has been a key to the Chiefs’ success over the years, and this season, their bond is stronger than ever. As they embark on what could be Kelce’s final season, both players are eager to cement their legacy with another championship win.

The opening of 1587 Prime is just one of many exciting ventures Mahomes and Kelce are diving into off the field. Their leadership and work ethic have made them not only fan favorites but also a duo that represents what it means to be committed to greatness, both on and off the field.
