Chiefs Prepare New Arrowhead for Wild Card Game

Press Release

Preparations for this weekend’s AFC Wild Card Game are underway at the New Arrowhead. Today, members of the Chiefs grounds crew painted the Wild Card Weekend logo on the field and tomorrow, the Chiefs store will begin stocking the Wild Card weekend merchandise. The game will mark the first home playoff game for the Chiefs since the 2003 season.

The Chiefs are expecting the largest crowd of the season and are encouraging fans to arrive early via bus and carpool. The heaviest traffic will be from 10:30 a.m until noon, so fans are asked to arrive prior to 10:30 to avoid peak times. Access to parking lots will begin at 8:30 a.m.

“Carpooling with friends is a great option to ensure you get into the lot quickly and are able to tailgate in the same location with friends,” said David Young, Vice President of Stadium Operations for the Chiefs, “Fans who arrive during those peak times risk not making it to their seats before kickoff.”
