The Kansas City Chiefs don’t have to be on the field for you to have some fun at Arrowhead Stadium .

While Arrowhead is no doubt an awesome venue for watching a game (it’s known as the loudest stadium in the NFL), a stadium tour is an excellent way to get a dose of football year-round. Consider it a must-do if you’re a serious Chiefs fan.

Along with  dozens of works of art  found throughout the stadium – including a sculpture by Missouri’s own Thomas Hart Benton – tours at Arrowhead detail how Chiefs’ founder Lamar Hunt shaped and modernized the NFL that exists today.

The Chiefs organization actually began in 1960 as the Dallas Texans, members of the upstart American Football League (AFL) that Hunt founded after he was denied the opportunity to start an expansion team or purchase an existing NFL team.

The original AFL included seven other teams: the Denver Broncos, Houston Oilers, Los Angeles Chargers, Boston Patriots, Buffalo Bills, New York Titans and Oakland Raiders.

Interesting tidbit – the founding fathers of those teams collectively were called “The Foolish Club” because all were certain they’d lose a boatload of money and that the league would eventually falter. Today, “The Foolish Club” is the name of one of the indoor areas for grabbing a cold drink and relaxing with friends inside Arrowhead.

Another interesting tidbit – Hunt is credited with coining the term “Super Bowl.” In the early days of the AFL, before its merger with the NFL, the top teams from each league faced off in the AFL-NFL Championship Game. The cumbersome name wasn’t necessarily a hit with owners, fans or the media, and it was Hunt who first threw out the suggestion for calling the game the Super Bowl.

On the tour, you learn that Hunt likely derived the name from a Super Ball, the small, extremely bouncy rubber ball that was popular with his children. In fact, a Super Ball is one of the items on display in the Chiefs Hall of Honor, a highlight of the tour that pays tribute to the best of the best from Chiefs history.

You’ll also find several items related to the AFL and its teams in the Chiefs Hall of Honor – a truly rare example of one franchise honoring rival franchises.

Inside the Hall of Honor, busts depicting Chiefs legends – from quarterback Len Dawson to defensive end Derrick Thomas – are aligned in a locker-like setup. If you’re a big fan of football, you may need to ask for extra time to read and see everything that’s on display.

Among the signature pieces is the trophy from the 1970 AFL-NFL Championship Game, aka Super Bowl IV. The AFL’s Chiefs won, 23-7, over the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings. What’s cool about the trophy – and what seems perfectly fitting, considering the Chiefs were the founding members of the AFL – is that it’s the last trophy to have an AFL logo on it, as the two leagues merged prior to the following season.

A bonus tidbit – It was Lamar Hunt’s idea to use Roman numerals when referring to Super Bowls, to lend a little touch of class to the event.

Tours of Arrowhead Stadium include an opportunity to see the press box and locker room and get close to the field – you can walk the track that surrounds the playing surface. Don’t plan on carrying along a football and running post patterns on the field all afternoon. That’s a no-no.

There are several tour options available . General public tours are held twice daily, on Fridays and Saturdays, year-round. Private tours can be arranged by appointment.

The next time you need a football fix, plan a tour at Arrowhead Stadium. It’s a fascinating look at one of the NFL’s most fascinating franchises.

Step Inside: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium – Home of the Chiefs

• Copied to Clipboard

Stadium History | Parking & Admission | Seating & Capacity | Food & Concessions

GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs . Located in Kansas City, Missouri, the 76,416-seat facility is part of the Truman Sports Complex and neighbors Kauffman Stadium, the home of MLB’s Kansas City Royals.

Completed in 1972, Arrowhead Stadium’s design prioritized unobstructed sightlines across the venue, while its distinctive curved construction allowed for intensely amplified crowd noise that has sustained through several renovations and expansions as recently as in 2020. Despite its standing as the third-oldest stadium in the NFL, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium continues to offer an unrivaled fan experience, with the venue holding the world record for loudest stadium cheer at 142.2 decibels, recorded during a Monday Night Football matchup between the Chiefs and New England Patriots on September 29, 2014.

For sound that’s just a little more melodic, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium has also served as one of Missouri’s premier musical venues. Back in the 1970s, artists like The Rolling Stones , Elton John and The Beach Boys graced its stage. More recently, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium has welcomed some of the world’s top performers, including Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Kenny Chesney .

GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is located at 1 Arrowhead Drive in Kansas City, Missouri near the mesh point of Interstate 70 and 435, and is set to undergo another round of renovations before hosting several matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Arrowhead Stadium History

GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium has had a long and influential history in professional football.

The Dallas Texans, an AFL franchise, relocated and rebranded as the Kansas City Chiefs in 1963. The Chiefs played their games at Municipal Stadium, a shared venue with the then-Kansas City Athletics of the MLB. But with a rule as part of the AFL-NFL merger in 1966, home stadiums had to seat at least 50,000 fans.

So in 1967, Jackson County in Missouri offered a location, and voters approved a $102 million plan to build the Truman Sports Complex, and with it Arrowhead Stadium. Construction began a year later, and Arrowhead Stadium opened on August 12, 1972. The first game at Arrowhead Stadium was a preseason Chiefs win over the St. Louis Cardinals, 24-14. On November 5, 1972, the Chiefs hosted the Oakland Raiders to claim their first victory in Arrowhead Stadium, 27-14. That game also holds the record for largest crowd at the stadium, with a total of 82,094 fans in attendance. Over the next two decades, the Chiefs — and the Sea of Red that follows them — would dominate the stadium, and in 1996 they opened up their home to Major League Soccer team the Kansas City Wizards , who played at Arrowhead through 2007.

As one of the first stadiums constructed after the AFL-NFL merger, Arrowhead was a leader in stadium design. It introduced the use of arrows on the yard markers at the goal line (which eventually became a requirement throughout the NFL) and was the first to be a part of the two-stadium Truman Sports Complex, which also includes Kauffman Stadium , home of the Kansas City Royals .

GEHA (pronounced G.E.H.A) acquired the naming rights to the stadium in March of 2021 and has a contractual length of 10 years.

Arrowhead Stadium is known for the substantial home-field advantage it gives the Chiefs. A 2013 game between the Chiefs and Raiders resulted in a Guinness World Record for loudest stadium, with a sustained noise level of 137.5 decibels. The Seahawks broke that record less than three months later, but fans of the Chiefs would not be denied, reclaiming the title on a Monday Night Football contest against the New England Patriots, climbing all the way to 142.2 decibels.

In 2010, a newly renovated and expanded Arrowhead Stadium was unveiled, featuring an improved seating arrangement and stunning new suites, plus impressive attractions like the 28,000-square-foot Hall of Honor and the Chiefs Sports Lab, an interactive exhibit promoting healthy living for kids of all ages. More upgrades followed in 2019, including a state-of-the-art scoreboard that can withstand even the brightest afternoon sun, and shiny new seats in the upper deck that come furnished with a game-watching necessity: cupholders. And don’t miss the dedicated drum deck just under the scoreboard for the Chiefs’ special pre-game drum ceremony.

Parking and Admission at Arrowhead Stadium

To park at the Truman Sports Complex and GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs have a three-step plan. Step one is to purchase your parking passes in advance. It’s a requirement to purchase passes in advance, and cash will not be accepted at parking toll booths. Step two is to arrive early to avoid traffic and ensure you don’t miss any of the action. Arriving early also allows for tailgating before the game. Step three is to develop a game plan for your trip to Arrowhead Stadium. 

Parking lots open four and a half hours before kickoff, unless otherwise communicated by Chiefs personnel. Additionally, only one vehicle is allowed per parking space. Finally, guests may not stay in parking lots or loiter around the stadium during games or concerts. 

The Truman Sports Complex has seven gates. Gates 1-4 are accessible from Interstate 70, and gates five, six and seven are accessible from I-435. 

Arrowhead Stadium Bag Policy

The stadium has a clear bag policy, and bags other than a one-gallon clear zip seal bag or small clutches that are less than 4.5″ x 6.5″ will not be allowed. Exceptions can be made for necessary medical items after inspection. 

Arrowhead Stadium Capacity and Seating Options

In 2023, Arrowhead Stadium had a listed capacity of 76,416, making it the fourth-largest stadiums in the NFL. Arrowhead has two tiers of seating: the lower bowl and the upper bowl. The lower bowl consists of sections 101 to 136 and the upper bowl has sections 201 to 236, with each section split into subsections A and B. The upper bowl also houses box suites and club seating.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

It looks like the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will have the shortest offseason of any NFL team this coming year.

On Thursday, Sept. 5, Patrick Mahomes and co. are scheduled to kick off the 2024 regular season against Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens at their home Arrowhead Stadium.

The last time the teams met was in the 2024 AFC Championship game where Kansas City eked out a 17-10 victory behind eventual Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes’ 30-for-39 passing and 241 yards; his only touchdown pass in the contest was caught by tight end Travis Kelce.

Two weeks later, the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas to win their second consecutive Super Bowl.

And if you want to be there to catch the defending NFL champions begin their march toward an unprecedented third Super Bowl in a row, tickets are available to see the Chiefs take on the Ravens in their first game of the season as soon as today.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $306 before fees on Vivid Seats.

100-level seats start at $469 before fees .

For those that can’t make it to the Week 1 showdown, the Chiefs have a number of other big games at home this season. They’re also slated to face the Saints , Buccaneers and Texans on their own turf.

Dates for those games will become available when the NFL officially releases their 2024 schedule on Wednesday, May 15.

All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.
