Every year when football season gears up a common question arises. Where do the Kansas City Chiefs play football? The answer is Arrowhead Stadium. With how many times the Chiefs have either won the Super Bowl or gone fairly deep in the NFL Playoffs in recent years, the stadium is pretty familiar to AFC fans of all teams. We get into more details about the stadium and surrounding area for you.
Where do the Kansas City Chiefs Play Football?
So, unlike other teams, when you look up where do the Kansas City Chiefs play football. You won’t find 19 different names of sponsors from the past. Arrowhead Stadium does have a branded name starting in March of 2021 though. It is officially known as GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium through January of 2031.
This timing of the name also coincides with the expiration of the leases for the Chiefs and Royals with the stadium owner, the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority. Arrowhead is the sixth largest stadium in the NFL. Arrowhead is part of the Truman Sports Complex along with the Royals ballfield, Kauffman Stadium.
How Loud is Arrowhead Stadium?
Even though the stadium is not in the top-5 for size, fans set a Guinness World Record for loudest stadium on September 29th, 2014. The noise was recorded during a Monday Night Football game against the Patriots. The sound topped out at 142.2 decibels during the game.
Arrowhead Stadium Seating Capacity
Arrowhead Stadium was most recently renovated in 2010 and has a seating capacity of 76,416. This puts it as the 25th largest stadium in the U.S. and sixth largest in the NFL. The stadium was selected to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It also hosts college football games and soccer matches at times.

Parking at Arrowhead Stadium on Game Day
