This can also occasionally be heard in road games and even at sporting events for the nearby University of Kansas. At the Chiefs' September 23, 2001, home game against the New York Giants, fans gave the opposing Giants a standing ovation. From 1992 to 2009 the Chiefs conducted summer training camp at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls in River Falls, Wisconsin. The Chiefs' 2007 training camp was documented in the HBO/NFL Films documentary reality television series, Hard Knocks. Following the passage of a $25 million state tax credit proposal, the Chiefs moved their training camp to Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 2010.
Kansas City was awarded a Thanksgiving Day game against the Denver Broncos in response to owner Lamar Hunt's lobbying for a third Thanksgiving Day game. The Chiefs defeated the Broncos 19–10 in the first Thanksgiving Day game in Kansas City since 1969. Hunt was hospitalized at the time of the game and died weeks later on December 13 due to complications with prostate cancer. The Chiefs honored their owner for the remainder of the season, as did the rest of the league. In 1980, Coach Marv Levy cut future Hall of Fame Kicker Jan Stenerud for little-known Nick Lowery, who would become the most accurate kicker in NFL History over the next fourteen years. In 1981, running back Joe Delaney rushed for 1,121 yards and was named the AFC Rookie of the Year.

When the Chiefs get a three-score lead, trying to squeeze in passes to tight windows doesn’t have to be the play, even if Mahomes has the ability to do so. He has earned that, but it’s okay to give him constructive criticism when it is due. Finding a balance and mixing the two perfectly together is the desired outcome that seems to elude Reid so often. A lack of balance is what Reid has been criticized for most often in his career, with time management coming in a close second place. Now that the Chiefs have a running back that looks like he can be a closer in Isiah Pacheco, they should learn to lean on him a bit more in the second half of games. He’s earned the right to get more than a couple of second-half touches, even if fellow running back Jerrick McKinnon is having an incredible game for the most part.
The game surpassed the 1962 AFL Championship Game as the longest ever at 82 minutes and 40 seconds. The game was also the final football game at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium. After a brutal road loss to the Eagles, the Chiefs went home for a Week 4 interconference duel with the New York Giants.
AFL anniversary season
Oakland would take the lead in the third quarter as Janikowski nailed a 54-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Chiefs would retake the lead as quarterback Matt Cassel completed a 29-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. However, the Raiders sealed the win as running back Darren McFadden got a 5-yard touchdown run. Coming off their road win over the Redskins, the Chiefs went home, donned their Dallas Texans throwbacks, and played a Week 7 AFL Legacy game with the San Diego Chargers. San Diego would add onto their lead in the second quarter with a 20-yard and a 39-yard field goal from kicker Nate Kaeding.
Kansas City, Missouri mayor Quinton Lucas estimated the necessary renovations at $50 million. With the formation of Major League Soccer in 1996, Arrowhead Stadium became home to the Kansas City Wiz. They left after the 2007 season, after being sold by the Hunt Family to On Goal, LLC, once their lease ended. This was also beneficial so that construction work on Arrowhead Stadium's renovation could take place during the NFL off-season.

Cornerback Jackie Bates, tight end Tom Crabtree, defensive end Dion Gales, defensive end Bobby Greenwood, guard Darryl Harris, running back Javarris Williams and wide receiver Rodney Wright were added to the practice squad. Having one of the best quarterbacks in the game, it makes sense to lean on his ability and trust in his decision-making. Dialing up play calls that put Mahomes in a spot where mistakes can be limited makes sense. As we saw last week, Mahomes is the master of improvising, so he will need to continue to evolve when it’s time to really go out and put the hammer down vs. playing a bit more conservatively.
The Kansas City Chiefs will have the usual suspects to put in your lineup and could also have a couple of sleepers. The Kansas City Chiefs won’t be bringing up any players from their practice squad for the Week 15 tilt with the Houston Texans. According to the NFL’s personnel notice on Saturday, the Chiefs did not elevate any players from the practice squad.
DE George Karlaftis,aka 'Furious George,' is on a tear for Chiefs
Their 42–36 victory over Buffalo came in a game sports commentators and analysts dubbed as one of the greatest modern day NFL playoff games. Despite being the first team to host the AFC Championship game for four consecutive seasons, the team finished the season losing 24–27 in overtime to the Cincinnati Bengals. Croyle returned for the Chiefs' game against the Tennessee Titans, but both he and Damon Huard suffered season-ending injuries in the game. The Chiefs reorganized their offense to a new spread offense game plan focused around Tyler Thigpen. The Chiefs' new offense was implemented to help Thigpen play to the best of his abilities and also following the absence of Larry Johnson, who was suspended for his off-field conduct.
Municipal Stadium, built in 1923 and mostly rebuilt in 1955, seated approximately 35,000 for football, but as part of the AFL–NFL merger announced in 1966, NFL stadiums would be required to seat no fewer than 50,000 people. It is part of the Truman Sports Complex with adjacent Kauffman Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Royals of Major League Baseball . Arrowhead Stadium has a seating capacity of 76,416, making it the 27th-largest stadium in the United States and the sixth-largest NFL stadium.
Entering the season, the Chiefs were unsure if injury-prone quarterback Brodie Croyle, who was the incumbent starter, could be their quarterback in the long-term. Croyle was injured in the team's first game of the season and Damon Huard started in Croyle's absence. Tyler Thigpen become the third Chiefs starting quarterback in as many games for a start against the Atlanta Falcons. After a poor performance by Thigpen, in which he threw three interceptions against the Falcons defense, Huard was retained as the starting quarterback.
Lamar Hunt, who died in December, coined the term Super Bowl in the late 1960s after watching his kids play with a Super Ball, the bouncy creation of iconic toy manufacturer Wham-O. In 2016, Native American groups asked the Kansas City Chiefs to stop doing the tomahawk chop. The numbers 16 and 28 are the only numbers to have been worn by a single player .
The stadium underwent a $375 million renovation, completed in mid-2010, which included new luxury boxes, wider concourses and enhanced amenities. The stadium renovation was paid for by $250 million in taxpayer money and $125 million from the Hunt Family. The stadium cost $53 million to build in 1972, and an average ticket in 2009 costs $81. Aramark serves as the stadium's concession provider and T-Mobile, Anheuser-Busch and Coca-Cola are major corporate sponsors. Tyreek Hill made the Pro Bowl in all six seasons with the Chiefs as a return specialist-wide receiver. In 2014, the Chiefs attempted to make the playoffs for the second straight season for the first time since 1995, however, they finished 9–7 and were eliminated in Week 17.
Last week, Kansas City went into Denver as a heavy favorite and built a 27-point lead before stumbling in the middle of the game and surviving with a six-point win. This wasn’t a case of overlooking an opponent, but rather losing focus during the game. Wilson and the Broncos were blitzed by the Chiefs in the first half, as Kansas City jumped out to a 27-0 lead before halftime. The real backbreaker was Wilson throwing a pick-six to Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay Jr., but that does not even begin to cover how pitiful it was. The Kansas City Chiefs are set to take on the Texans in Houston this Sunday.
