KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
26-year-old businessman Lamar Hunt formed the American Football League in 1959, which included the Dallas Texans team. In 1963, Hunt moved the team to Kansas City before agreeing to a merger with the NFL in 1970.
About The team
The Chiefs won three AFL championships, in 1962, 1966, and 1969, and were the second AFL team (after the New York Jets) to defeat an NFL team in an AFL–NFL World Championship Game. Most recently, they won Super Bowl LIV after defeating the San Fransisco 49ers in 2020, earning them their first championship in 50 years.
Quebec native and McGill graduate Laurent Duvernay-Tardif played offensive line on that Super Bowl winning team. The following season, he stepped away from the game to return to Montreal and use his medical degree to help in the fight against COVID-19.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is big reason why the Chiefs are popular among NFL fans across Canada, as his unorthodox style and ability to turn broken plays into touchdowns makes any Chiefs game exciting until the final whistle.
GOING TO
KANSAS CITY ?
Kansas City is split between the states of Missouri and Kansas with the Chiefs playing their home games at Arrowhead Stadium on the Missouri side.
The city is known as the Barbecue Capital for its many sauce and steak combinations and one trip to Jack Stack Barbecue would confirm that claim. And if you can’t make it to the restaurant, you can order their products online and have them shipped right to your house.
One local attraction for young and old alike is the LEGOLAND Discovery Center where you can spend an entire day building your dreams and remembering the past. Culturally, few have given more to the city than the late Ewing Marion Kauffman, a pharmaceutical entrepreneur, philanthropist and humanitarian. Among his major contributions are the Kauffman Foundation, which helps disadvantaged youth reach their full potential through education and the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, home to the Kansas City Symphony, the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, and the Kansas City Ballet.
He also founded the only other major professional sports team in Kansas City in 1969. The MLB’s Royals plays at Kauffman Stadium, named in his honour.
