About VIP Tailgate Tent - Indianapolis Colts v Kansas City Chiefs

Tailgating culture here runs deep, with fans grilling and gathering in the parking lots hours before kickoff. Expect a loud, red-clad crowd and the kind of pre-game atmosphere that regular season football rarely matches elsewhere. A one-twenty start means plenty of time for the full tailgate ritual before the gates open.

Where to stay nearby

Kansas City itself is the obvious base, with the widest choice of hotels and easy access into the stadium area on game day. Independence sits closer to the ground and has a smaller but solid range of options, useful if you want to be near the tailgate lots without the drive in from downtown. Lee's Summit is a little further out with fewer hotels, better suited if you're happy with a short drive and want more availability or lower rates. Whichever base you choose, expect heavy traffic and crowded parking areas in the hours before a 1.20pm kickoff, so plan to arrive early.

Independence — about 8 km away

About Kansas City Chiefs

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.

Kansas City Chiefs records & quirks

  • Arrowhead set the Guinness World Record for loudest stadium crowd roar, 142.2 decibels, on September 29, 2014.
  • Fans had already set an earlier record there, 137.5 dB, in October 2013 against Oakland.
  • Kansas City won that 2014 record-setting game over New England 41-14.

About GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium

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.
