Truman Sports Complex

About Me


The Truman Sports Complex was built by the government of Jackson County and is managed by the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority. The complex design was chosen after other plans calling for a rolling roof were abandoned due to cost. The complex was revolutionary in an age when stadiums were built as big multi-use venues. The design established the reputation of architect Kivett & Myers. In 1975 the firm merged with Kansas City architect firm HNTB and went on to design stadiums including Giants Stadium, RCA Dome, INVESCO Field at Mile High, and Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Arrowhead Stadium
CLICK PIC ABOVE FOR OFFICIAL CHIEFS SITE
Arrowhead Stadium, home of the National Football League's Kansas City Chiefs and Major League Soccer's Kansas City Wizards, opened in the fall of 1972. George Halas called Arrowhead "the most revolutionary, futuristic sports complex I have ever seen." Fans occasionally refer to the stadium as The Red Sea or simply Arrowhead. The stadium is commonly referred to as the "Home of the CHIEFS" at the beginning of every home game. Arrowhead has long held a reputation for being one of, if not the, loudest outdoor stadium in the NFL due to the exuberance of the Chiefs' fans. As of the end of the 2006 NFL season, Arrowhead Stadium has a consecutive sell-out record of 141 games (17 seasons) dating back to the home opener in 1990. The Chiefs have a 102-34 home record at Arrowhead stadium since 1990, the best in the NFL.
Kauffman Stadium

Kauffman Stadium, home of Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals, opened in spring 1973 as Royals Stadium and is located adjacent to Arrowhead. The stadium's name was changed in 1993 to honor Royals founder Ewing Kauffman just months before his death. Although the stadium is only 34 years old, it is the ninth-oldest stadium in major league baseball, as a result of the construction of a number of stadiums in the 1990s.
