Arrowhead Stadium

Updated: Wikipedia source

Arrowhead Stadium

GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, commonly known as Arrowhead Stadium, is an American football stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. It primarily serves as the home venue of the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). It was built at the same time as neighboring Kauffman Stadium, home of Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals, which together form the Truman Sports Complex. Arrowhead Stadium has been in use since 1972 NFL season, and is currently the oldest stadium in the AFC. It has a seating capacity of 76,416, making it the 25th-largest stadium in the United States and the fourth-largest NFL stadium. It is also the largest sports facility by capacity in the state of Missouri. A $375 million renovation was completed in 2010. The stadium has been officially named GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (pronounced G-E-H-A) since March 2021, following a naming rights deal between GEHA and the Chiefs. The agreement began at the start of the 2021 season and ends in January 2031 with the expiration of the leases for the Chiefs and Royals with Truman Sports Complex owner, the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority. The stadium is scheduled to host matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup where it will temporarily be referred to as Kansas City Stadium for FIFA-regulated marketing reasons. It has also hosted other soccer games and college football games for regional teams.
