Chiefs Stadium FAQ
Did the Chiefs start in Dallas?
Yes. As the Dallas Texans they played at the Cotton Bowl from 1960 to 1962, drawing a league-best 24,500 fans a game and winning the 1962 AFL championship. Hunt decided Dallas couldn’t support two pro football teams and moved the club to Kansas City for 1963, where it became the Chiefs.
How many stadiums have the Chiefs had?
Three: the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Municipal Stadium in Kansas City and Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City mayor H. Roe Bartle won the team in part by promising to expand Municipal Stadium.
Is Municipal Stadium still standing?
No. The last football game there was the Chiefs’ double-overtime playoff loss to Miami on Christmas Day 1971, still the longest game in NFL history. The stadium was demolished in 1976, and a plaque at 22nd and Brooklyn marks the site, which is being redeveloped with new homes.
Are the Chiefs leaving Arrowhead Stadium?
Yes. In December 2025 the Chiefs announced they will move to a new stadium in Wyandotte County, Kansas, planned to open for the 2031 season. That plan opens the way for Arrowhead to be demolished.
Where do the Chiefs play now?
At Arrowhead Stadium at the Truman Sports Complex in Kansas City, Missouri, which seats 76,416. It carried the name GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium from 2021 to 2026, and fans there set a Guinness record for the loudest outdoor stadium crowd in 2014.
