Kansas City Chiefs Tickets Information
The Kansas City Chiefs are one of 4 teams in the American Football Conference West Division (AFC West) – along with the Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, and San Diego Chargers - and one of 16 teams in the AFC which in turn is one of the two conferences in the National Football League (NFL).
The team now known as the Chiefs has been playing football since 1960 when they started out as the Dallas Texans, one of the American Football League, Western Division’s charter members. Between 1960 and 1969, they won 3 AFL West Division championships (1962, 1965-66) and 3 AFL championships (1962, 1966, 1969).

The Kansas City Chiefs have only one Super Bowl victory, this in 1969 at Super Bowl IV – only the second AFL-NFL championship to bear the official “Super Bowl” moniker – beating the Minnesota Vikings 23-7.
Since 1972 the Kansas City Chiefs have been playing their home games at the 79,000+ seat Arrowhead Stadium (aka “The Red Sea”) in Kansas City, Missouri, reputed to be “the Toughest Place to Play” for its notoriously loud fans. The team has sold out every home game at Arrowhead Stadium for the last 17 seasons.
The team uniform colors are red, gold, and white. Their mascot since 1989 has been K.C. Wolf who replaced Chiefs mascot from 1963, a gelding named Warpaint, and was the first NFL mascot to be inducted into the Official Mascot Hall of Fame.
