Chiefs Restore Arrowhead Stadium Name

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially restored the name of their home stadium to Arrowhead Stadium, ending the GEHA Field naming rights agreement.

The team announced Wednesday that the iconic venue will once again be known simply as Arrowhead Stadium, after the Government Employees Health Association agreed to using the classic name. The stadium had been officially named "GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium" since a 2021 naming rights deal, but the name never stuck with fans, players, or coaches who continued using the original name from its 1972 opening.

Arrowhead Stadium has become such a well-known brand that even during the recent World Cup, when FIFA temporarily renamed it "Kansas City Stadium," most people still referred to it by its original name. The Chiefs will continue playing at Arrowhead Stadium until their lease expires in 2031, when they will move to a new $3 billion domed stadium being built in Kansas that has yet to be named. capturengo.org
