Chiefs announce plan for reduced capacity at Arrowhead Stadium

The Kansas City Chiefs have finalized their plan for reduced capacity and announced the single-game ticket on-sale date.

The team, following the guidelines set forth by the NFL, and in coordination with Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, City of Kansas City Health Director Dr. Rex Archer and City of Kansas City EMS Medical Director Dr. Erica Carney have decided on a 22 percent capacity cap initially at Arrowhead Stadium. As the season progresses, there is potential for increased capacity at Arrowhead Stadium, in accordance with health and safety recommendations of local authorities and health experts.

Arrowhead Stadium had a total capacity of over 72,000 people in 2019, meaning that just under 17,000 fans will be allowed in for games in 2020. The team has also developed a specific set of health and safety regulations that fans in attendance will have to follow at games.  You can find all of the policies and protocols at www.chiefs.com/stadium/covid. Some of the changes include:

  • Arrowhead Stadium going completely cashless.
  • All bags, including previously approved clear bags, are completely prohibited from Arrowhead Stadium.
  • Masks are required to be worn at all times except when eating or drinking.

Single-game tickets for the first three games are set to go on sale to season ticket holders beginning on Monday, Aug. 24. If there are remaining tickets, not purchased by season ticket holders, Jackson Country residents will get first dibs before the team opens up tickets to the general public. One bonus if you do attend any of the first three games, the Chiefs will be handing out commemorative face masks to all fans in attendance.
