About the Stadium

The loudest stadium on the planet, by Guinness World Record. GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium opened in 1972 and is the long-time home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Its famous tailgate culture, world-class KC BBQ, and boisterous 76,000-strong crowds make it one of the most atmospheric venues in American sports. KC itself has emerged as one of the USA's most vibrant mid-sized cities, with an excellent restaurant scene anchored by legendary barbecue.
