Arrowhead Stadium

Driving & Parking

• Driving
  From I-70, take Exit 9 (Blue Ridge Cutoff/Truman Sports Complex). From I-435, take the Stadium Drive exit. From downtown Kansas City, take I-70 East. Gameday traffic on I-70 and the complex access roads begins building 3-4 hours before kickoff as tailgaters arrive early.
• Parking
  The Truman Sports Complex has massive parking lots surrounding both Arrowhead and adjacent Kauffman Stadium. Pre-purchasing passes through the Chiefs' website is required. The lots open 5 hours before kickoff, and Chiefs tailgates are legendary with elaborate BBQ setups, smokers, and full outdoor kitchens. For tailgate supplies, Price Chopper is a Kansas City grocery chain with convenient locations. Hy-Vee Grocery Store is another popular regional chain with a great deli section. For beverages, Gomer's Midtown is a well-stocked KC liquor store with an excellent craft beer selection and convenient location.
  • Platinum Parking
    Lots M (between the stadiums) and E (southeast) are exclusive to Suite and Season ticket holders and not generally available for purchase.
  • Gold Parking
    These parking passes provide access to the inner ring of the surrounding lots. Closer to the stadium for a higher price
  • Red Parking
    The outer ring of the surrounding lots, these are the more affordable options and may make the exit after the game quicker

Public Transit

• The 47-Broadway bus line offers service from downtown and the Country Club Plaza to the Truman Sports Complex. Check the RideKC website for gameday schedules, as they can be limited.

Rideshare

• The designated Rideshare zone is at the Missouri Welcome Center behind Lot A closer to Kauffman Stadium. Be sure to follow the path down Red Coat Ln to reach the stadium safely. Post game, the parking lot gridlock can be severe and many fans tailgate after the game for an hour or two to let traffic clear.

The pregame experience at Arrowhead is defined by the tailgate. Chiefs fans are passionate about BBQ, and the parking lots transform into the world's largest outdoor barbecue competition. The greater Kansas City area, particularly the Westport and Power & Light districts, also offers excellent pregame options.
