Travis and Jason Kelce have announced that they are now the owners of a professional football team in Missouri.
The two NFL legends co-own ‘Garage Beer’ and on Thursday the brand announced that they had taken over the St Joseph Goats.
The Goats are a professional indoor football team based in St Joseph, Missouri. They compete in The Arena League and one of the existing co-owners is Christian Okoye, who played for the Chiefs in the 1980s and 1990s.
‘From the beer fridge to the front office, the Goats are now powered by the same crisp, uncomplicated energy that fuels Garage Beer,’ Garage Beer said.
‘This is more than a sponsorship – it’s a bold, possibly confusing leap into the world of professional sports ownership, and we couldn’t be more excited.’
Travis and Jason Kelce invested in the Ohio-based beer company last year. They also co-host the hugely successful podcast ‘New Heights’.

Now the brothers have moved into football ownership – even as Travis continues his own journey in the NFL. The 35-year-old teased possible retirement following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss against the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year.
He decided to play on but Travis has been expanding his off-field ventures in recent years, moving into acting and television presenting, while his relationship with Taylor Swift means he is rarely out of the headlines.
Back in October 2023, the Kansas City tight end was part of a group that invested $211million in the Alpine Formula One team.

Jason, meanwhile, ended his incredible NFL career with the Eagles after the 2023 season. The 37-year-old father of four has since moved into broadcasting, working as an NFL analyst for ESPN and even launching his own late-night chat show.
Earlier this week, Garage Beer had teased the announcement, revealing that the company was in the ‘very advanced stages of acquiring a significant ownership stake in a professional football team.’
‘This bold, somewhat mysterious move aligns perfectly with Garage Beer’s identity: deeply rooted in football culture, loved by fans who prefer their beer cold and their Sundays (and Mondays, and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturday’s filled with gridiron action,’ they said.
