Parking and Traffic
Parking lots for Monday's game open at 2:30 p.m. All parking passes must be purchased in advance at www.chiefs.com/stadium/parking/ as payments will not be accepted at the parking tollgates.

Fans can track traffic and construction through the KC Scout camera network at www.kcscout.com/ or can get real-time traffic updates on the WAZE app. Fans are encouraged to plan ahead and arrive early.
Fans should expect to see heavy delays due to rush hour traffic on Interstates 435 and 70, as well as streets around the Truman Sports Complex due to the start time of Monday's game. Fans are asked to plan in advance and arrive several hours prior to kickoff to avoid rush hour and minimize delays. It is suggested that drivers who are not going to the game but normally travel past the Truman Sports Complex identify an alternate route to avoid rush hour back-ups. All fans should visit www.chiefs.com/parking to make their travel and parking gameplan.

GEHA Deck
The Chiefs introduced the GEHA Deck in 2019 as the home for two gameday traditions – the Drum Honoree and the Tony DiPardo Spirit Leader. University of Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball head coach and two-time national champion Bill Self will serve as this week's Drum Honoree while Renee Jeria, a 17-year breast cancer survivor, will be the game's Tony DiPardo Spirit Leader.
Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat
To help celebrate the franchise's 60th season in 2019, the Kansas City Chiefs introduced the Lamar Hunt Legacy seat at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. For each home game, the club selects a Season Ticket Member to honor with this special recognition. The two gold seats are located in Section 121 of the lower bowl, symbolically positioned under Lamar Hunt's name in the team's Ring of Honor.
This week's Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat honoree is Jolene Gewin. Jolene is a retired educator who taught for 28 years in St. Joseph, Missouri. During those 28 years, Jolene taught special education for eight years and piloted the Class-Within-A-Class program. In 2018, Jolene and her daughter started their Season Ticket Membership and have loved every minute of it. Jolene is a breast cancer survivor after being diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer in 2008.
