The home stadium facility of the Kansas City Chiefs is Arrowhead Stadium is a stadium located in Kansas City, Missouri, and home to the National Football League's Kansas City Chiefs and Major League Soccer's Kansas City Wizards. It is part of the city's Truman Sports Complex (together with Kauffman Stadium). A $102 million voter-approved sports complex bond issue in 1967 originally stated a plan calling for a single, multi-purpose, domed stadium (it would have been the world's first rolling stadium roof), but this was later discarded. Officials then decided to construct two stadiums, one for baseball (originally for the Kansas City Athletics, later for the Kansas City Royals) and another for football. The two-stadium complex concept was the first of its kind. The Chiefs staff, led by Jack Steadman, helped develop the complex. Construction began in 1968. The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri. They are currently members of the Western Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Originally called the Dallas Texans, the club was founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League. The team moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs in 1963 after then-Kansas City mayor H. Roe Bartle guaranteed the team that they would have increased ticket sales. The Chiefs then joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL Merger. Even when their team suffers through losing seasons, devoted Chiefs fans are known for being the loudest in the NFL. These fans often reach sound levels of over 120 decibels. Because of this, Sports Illustrated has given the Chiefs' home field, Arrowhead Stadium, the title of being the "Toughest Place to Play". At the end of the National Anthem fans are known to yell "and the home of the CHIEFS!" where traditionally "the brave" is supposed to be said. Only after the September 11, 2001 attacks did Chiefs fans refrain from doing so in honor of those who lost their lives. In fact, the September 23, 2001 home game versus the New York Giants, the first Kansas City regular season contest since the September 11, 2001 attacks, was the only time in Chiefs history where Kansas City fans welcomed an opposing team onto the field without booing.
