Arrowhead Stadium

Home of the Kansas City Chiefs — one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL

Arrowhead Stadium is the home of the Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL franchise that won multiple Super Bowls under Patrick Mahomes in the late 2010s and early 2020s. The stadium holds the Guinness World Record for the loudest outdoor stadium — 142.2 decibels — and the Chiefs' fan base, known as "the Kingdom," earns that reputation every game day. A Chiefs home game is one of the defining Kansas City experiences, though tickets are difficult and expensive to obtain for the regular season.

The stadium is part of the Truman Sports Complex, which it shares with Kauffman Stadium (the Kansas City Royals' baseball park) — one of the last paired stadium complexes remaining in American sports. Tours of both facilities are available on non-game days. The tailgating culture in the surrounding lots before games is a spectacle in its own right: the parking lots fill hours before kickoff with grills, elaborate setups, and red-clad fans.

A story
Arrowhead holds the world record for the loudest outdoor stadium, certified by Guinness at 142.2 decibels during a 2014 game. The Chiefs' fan base — the "Kingdom" — generates this noise deliberately and consistently. On playoff weekends, the stadium area becomes a tailgating city unto itself from early morning, with parking lots that hold more people than many small towns.
