Who Owns The Kansas City Chiefs?

So, who owns the Kansas City Chiefs? The Chiefs franchise is owned by Clark Hunt, who inherited the team from his father, Lamar Hunt, who paid just $25,000 (!!) in 1960. Lamar Hunt was a pioneer in the American Football League and instrumental in the merger between the AFL and the NFL. He was also the Dallas Texans’ owner, who eventually became the Chiefs.

The Hunt family has been involved in the Chiefs organization for over 50 years, and they show no signs of slowing down any time soon. Under Clark Hunt’s leadership, the Chiefs have won two Super Bowls and have made eight appearances in the AFC Championship game. The Hunt family is widely respected throughout the NFL and is known for their commitment to winning.

According to Forbes, as of the 2023-2024 season, the Kansas City Cheifs are worth $4.85 Billion dollars. This makes them the 24th most valuable National Football League (NFL) franchise.

Where Do The Cheifs Play Their Home Games?

The Chiefs play their home games at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, which is also used for concerts and other events. Arrowhead Stadium is located on the grounds of the Jackson County University Medical Center and has a seating capacity of 76,416, opening in 1972. It is known for being one of the loudest stadiums in North America, often giving the Cheifs a real home-field advantage.
