Other possible candidates included Jon Gruden, Leslie Frazier, Winston Moss, Kirk Ferentz, Jason Garrett, and even Scott Pioli's father-in-law, Bill Parcells. Pioli reportedly sought "total control" of an organization and was also pursued by the Cleveland Browns to be their new general manager. Pioli's supposed intentions of "total control" could have possibly eliminated him from the Chiefs' job. Hunt had kept his search almost entirely leak-proof, instructing subordinates that only he is to speak to the situation. Hunt also intended to be thorough and patient in his search for the Chiefs' new general manager.
The band was previously known as The Zing Band while the Chiefs played at Municipal Stadium. DiPardo, nicknamed "Mr. Music", was born in St. Louis, Missouri on August 15, 1912. DiPardo has written songs about the team such as "The Chiefs are on the Warpath" and "The Hank Stram Polka".

While the team averaged a league-best 24,500 at the Cotton Bowl, the Texans gained less attention due to the AFL's relatively lower profile compared to the NFL's. In the franchise's first two seasons, the team managed only an 8–6 and 6–8 record, respectively. In 1959, Lamar Hunt began discussions with other businessmen to establish a professional football league that would rival the National Football League. Hunt's desire to secure a football team was heightened after watching the 1958 NFL Championship Game between the New York Giants and Baltimore Colts. After unsuccessful attempts to purchase and relocate the NFL's Chicago Cardinals to his hometown of Dallas, Texas, Hunt went to the NFL and asked to create an expansion franchise in Dallas.
The Chiefs won the game, but Mahomes feels he let the team down with his play in that game. Typically, we see a big performance from the superstar quarterback after a down game, and playing against a beat-up Texans squad could be the perfect storm for a huge game for Mahomes. American football players are renowned for their exuberant celebrations after scoring a touchdown and the NFL witnessed a rather popular one from the Kansas City Chiefs’ Juju Smith-Schuster yesterday.

Running back Priest Holmes surpassed Marshall Faulk's single-season touchdown record by scoring his 27th rushing touchdown against the Chicago Bears in the team's regular-season finale. The team clinched the second seed in the 2004 NFL playoffs and hosted the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. It was the third time in nine seasons that the Chiefs went 8–0 at home in the regular season, only to lose their post-season opener at Arrowhead. In the 1995 NFL playoffs, the 13–3 Chiefs hosted the Indianapolis Colts in a cold, damp late afternoon game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Arrowhead hosted the Drum Corps International World Championships in 1988 and 1989. The original two-stadium concept was initially designed by Denver architect Charles Deaton and Steadman. The baseball and football stadiums have a very different appearance, but share utilities, parking, and underground storage. Lamar Hunt included an owner's suite, complete with three bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room, to the design of the football stadium. To increase seating while limiting the stadium's footprint, the upper sections were placed at a steep incline which cannot be replicated in modern stadiums due to accessibility regulations. The second began with the Chiefs failing to convert on fourth down and the Broncos scoring on each of their first three possessions.

On January 9, 2012, Crennel was named the 11th full-time head coach in Chiefs history. After their bye week, the Chiefs flew to Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for an Intraconference Duel with the Jaguars. While the Chiefs got on the board first with Ryan Succop nailing a 45-yard goal, they fell behind when Rashad Jennings ran from the 28-yard line to the end zone for a touchdown. In the second quarter Ryan Succop made a 21-yard field goal, and then the Jaguars scored when David Garrard completed a 61-yard touchdown pass to Mike Sims-Walker.
This was the first time in Chiefs history that they won the AFC West in back-to-back years. In the Wild Card round, the Chiefs lost a tight game to the Tennessee Titans 22–21, allowing Derrick Henry to rush for 156 yards. The loss extended their NFL record for most consecutive home playoff losses to six.
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.
Clark Hunt made note of "bright spots at different points this season," but felt that overall the Chiefs were not progressing. The highest point of the 2011 season was an upset win against the Packers, who at that time, were undefeated with a 13–0 record. Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel would be named the team's interim head coach for the remaining three games of the season, including the aforementioned Packers game.
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.
Since he’s been plying his trade in Kansas City for nearly two decades, it follows Colquitt owns a lovely home in the area. In 2016, he plunked down $1.2 million on a six-bedroom home in Leawood, KS. The suburban residence is about 20 miles south of Arrowhead Stadium and provides plenty of room for his wife and five kids. Built in 2014, the 6,775-square-foot home sits in a cul-de-sac and offers a beautiful backyard lanai, a four-car garage, and a kitchen outfitted with high-end appliances. For that, we took a deep dive into the housing histories of a few key members of the organization.
Outside of training camp and during the regular season, the Chiefs conduct practices at their own training facility nearby Arrowhead Stadium. The facility is located near the Raytown Road entrance to the Truman Sports Complex just east of Interstate 435 and features three outdoor fields as well as an indoor facility with its own full-size field. For the first time in team history, the Chiefs wore their red jersey with red pants, forming an all-red combo in their home opener against the Dallas Cowboys on September 15, 2013. Their all-red uniforms are now an official uniform combination and have been used multiple times since.
Haley had a background with Pioli, which made him an attractive hire for Pioli's first coach in Kansas City. The team was founded in 1959 as the Dallas Texans by businessman Lamar Hunt, and was a charter member of the American Football League . In spring 1963, the team relocated to Kansas City, and assumed its current name. The Chiefs joined the NFL as a result of the merger in 1970, and the team is valued at over $3.7 billion. Arrowhead Stadium was chosen as one of the 16 venues that will host games during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted jointly by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
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.
