Hotels for VIP Tailgate Tent - Denver Broncos v Kansas City Chiefs

Expect grills going, jerseys from both sides mixing in the parking lots, and the kind of trash talk that only an AFC West matchup brings. A VIP tailgate tent adds a covered spot to eat and watch pre-game coverage before heading in, away from the sun or weather. Early week games like this one tend to draw a slightly more committed crowd than a weekend slot, since everyone here has made a real effort to be present.

The Chiefs began as the Dallas Texans, an AFL charter member from 1960, before owner Lamar Hunt moved the team to Kansas City in 1963 and renamed it in honour of Mayor Harold Roe Bartle, nicknamed 'Chief.' Kansas City won Super Bowl IV in the AFL's final season, then went half a century without another title until Patrick Mahomes arrived at quarterback.

Under coach Andy Reid, Mahomes has led the Chiefs to three further Super Bowl wins, after the 2019, 2022 and 2023 seasons, making Kansas City the closest thing the modern NFL has had to a dynasty. Arrowhead Stadium is regularly cited as the loudest venue in American sport.

Home to the Kansas City Chiefs, Arrowhead Stadium is one of the loudest open-air stadiums in the world, a sea of red set alongside Kauffman Stadium in the Truman Sports Complex east of the city. The surrounding area is highway-oriented rather than walkable, with Kansas City's celebrated barbecue district and the Power & Light entertainment zone a short drive away. Booking a room in downtown Kansas City keeps the lively scene close, with rideshare making the trip out to the complex on game day.
