For more than 40 years, the Chiefs Kickoff Luncheon has provided the community with an opportunity to celebrate the start of the NFL season. This year, the event was held at the Kansas City Downtown Marriott hosted by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.

"This is the most exciting time of the year for us," Chiefs President Mark Donovan said. "The kickoff luncheon is a great celebration of the city, the community and a fun way to kickoff the year.
