Kansas City Chiefs - Home Stadiums


Fall 2022: To purchase a reasonably priced 8" x 24" plaqued mounted version of the Chiefs poster that's ready to hang on your wall, please visit Heritage Sports Stuff.

A. The Kansas City Chiefs franchise was established in 1960 as the Dallas Texans in the American Football League (AFL) and entered the NFL in 1970. The team has been known as:
Dallas Texans 1960 to 1962
Kansas City Chiefs 1963 to present

B. The Chiefs have played in the following home stadiums:
1. Cotton Bowl, Dallas TX
1960-62


2. Kansas City Municipal Stadium, Kansas City
1963-71


3. Arrowhead Stadium 1972-2021 / GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium 2021-Present, Kansas City
1972-Present

GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (pronounced G.E.H.A.) since March 2021. The agreement began at the start of the 2021 season and ends in January 2031 with the expiration of the team's lease with the stadium's owner, the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority. GEHA = Government Employees Health Association.


C. For more information on the Chiefs, you should bookmark these four great websites:

For a huge amount of great historic player and team information:
www.databasefootball.com
and
www.pro-football-reference.com/teams

For a great summary of the Chiefs' year by year standings:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kansas_City_Chiefs_seasons

For great information about the team's stadiums (don't be fooled by the fact that the website is called "ballparks.com", it also has great information on football stadiums):
www.ballparks.com

D. Celebrate the Chiefs' uniform history by owning a piece of history:
If you love the Kansas City Chiefs and the history of the Chiefs franchise, you might really love to own an original piece of artwork celebrating the team's historic uniforms as seen in the poster at the top of this blog - you can actually own one of those original pieces of art! There are only 13 pieces of original art available for sale, and when these 13 are sold, that's it, they're all sold out.

These original watercolor paintings would make a great gift (birthday gift, anniversary gift, retirement gift, Christmas gift, etc.) for someone you love or even a great gift for yourself (one of these framed pieces would look fantastic in your home or office). Each piece can be bought one of three ways:
1. As unframed art that you could have framed or mounted yourself (the one on the left)
2. Framed in our "Classic" framed version (the middle version)
3. Framed in our "Deluxe" framed version (the version on the right)



If you would like more information about this great artwork including the three ways you could purchase each piece, please visit our Kansas City Chiefs YouTube video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LpFiU--H5w or go directly to the artwork website www.heritagesportsart.com/Kansas-City-Chiefs-c4/ where you can see and purchase the artwork.

And if someone you know loves the history of sports uniforms (but maybe another team) and loves great art, please let them know that we have over 1500 pieces of great original artwork for sale at www.heritagesportsart.com (all NFL teams, all MLB teams, all NHL teams, all CFL teams, select NCAA football teams) or check out each team's video at the Heritage Sports Art YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/user/ssillcox

E. Stadium artwork
Please note that the actual original, hand drawn pen and ink sketches used for the 3 stadium images shown above are available for sale as a complete collection to one Kansas City Chiefs fan. If you are interested in being the owner of this complete and original collection of Kansas City Chiefs home stadium images, please contact me by email ssillcox@rogers.com and I can explain how they can all be framed in one beautiful piece.

And please search my blog archive http://heritagejerseys.blogspot.com/ for other blogs on the history of the Chiefs.
