The KC Chiefs Chiefs and their founder – Lamar Hunt have done much to change the face of American Football. In fact Lamar Hunt was responsible for the merger of the American Football League and the National Football League, a move that did much to simplify American Football and make life easier for its fans. KC Chiefs football tickets disappear much before one would expect. Therefore, you must make sure that you book your Chiefs tickets in advance.
The Story Of Success
Originally formed in 1960 in Dallas, the team moved to Kansas City in 1963 and was renamed the Kansas City Chiefs. The ‘Chiefs’ in the name is partly in honor of the Mayor of Kansas – H Roe Bartle who was nicknamed the Chief and had a great role in persuading Lamar Hunt to move to his city.
For around the next ten years, the Kansas City Chiefs were the most successful team in the AFL. They won the league championship in 1963, 1966 and 1969 and achieved a record 92-50 score over the years. The Chiefs were also the second AFL team to defeat an NFL club (the well regarded Minnesota Vikings during Super Bowl IV).
If ever a team has had solid fan support, it is the Chiefs. The Arrowhead Stadium – the home base of the team has had a record 149 sell out games and a record of 104 – 40 while playing at home since the 1990s. Whether the Chiefs win or lose, their fans are vocal and visible everywhere. There is also a tradition of booing opposing teams and that has been broken rarely. The last time was in 2001 when the New York Giants were spared the ‘honor’ of being booed.
