Arrowhead Stadium will sell lower-level orange seats to Chiefs fans
By Matt Conner
Kansas City Chiefs fans will once again be able to purchase older seats being replaced from Arrowhead Stadium as the Chiefs home undergoes renovations.
According to a press release issued by the Kansas City Chiefs, fans of the team will have a chance to purchase old seats out of Arrowhead Stadium for the second consecutive offseason.
This coming spring, Clark Hunt has prepared for Arrowhead Stadium to undergo further renovations after making significant upgrades only one year ago. The biggest talking point will undoubtedly be Hunt’s decision to finally rid Arrowhead of its orange seating on the lower level. The same red chairs added to the upper level improvements last year will be used in the lower tier as well and fans will be able to purchase those old orange seats through the same sort of process utilized last spring.
Last year, the Chiefs announced the ability to purchase old seats but weren’t able to do so until August. This year the process might be streamlined a bit, but it’s impossible to know how long things might take.
According to the FAQ, only 2,500 seats are anticipated to be available for sale (remember chairs and all relevant hardware must be removed properly in order), which means a sell-out is anticipated. The sale begins on Sunday, January 27 and you can find all relevant information here.
Last year, the Chiefs completely replaced the upper deck seats as well as the Arrowvision scoreboard. Cup holders were installed, and the concrete at Arrowhead was weatherproofed. A total of $12 million was spent to upgrade the Arrowhead experience.
This coming offseason, Hunt will also upgrade the scoreboard over the stadium’s eastern end in the same way the western side was improved last year. The overall viewing experience should be significantly enhanced now for fans sitting anywhere in the stadium. The team’s locker room and athletic training facilities are also getting an upgrade.
