GEHA Deck
The Chiefs introduced the GEHA Deck in 2019 as the home for two gameday traditions – the Drum Honoree and the Tony DiPardo Spirit Leader. Former Chiefs fullback Anthony Sherman will serve as this week’s Drum Honoree while Bryan Meyer, a Marine veteran and CEO of Veterans Community Project, will be the game’s Tony DiPardo Spirit Leader.
Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat
To help celebrate the franchise’s 60th season in 2019, the Kansas City Chiefs introduced the Lamar Hunt Legacy seat at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. For each home game, the club selected one honoree who embodied the spirit of Lamar Hunt and represents the four pillars of the Chiefs Mission: Win with Character, Unite our Community, Inspire our Fans and Honor Tradition. After being forced to skip the recognition due to reduced capacity in 2020, the club is now using the Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat to specifically honor a Chiefs Season Ticket Member at each home game. The two gold seats are located in Section 121 of the lower bowl, symbolically positioned under Lamar Hunt’s name in the team’s Ring of Honor.
This week’s Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat honoree is retired Senior Chief Petty Officer Brent D. Arntzen. Arntzen, a 21-year Season Ticket Member, is a decorated veteran who served 28 years in the Navy, over half of which was deployed overseas, and now serves as the Bureau Chief for the State of Iowa, continuing his legacy of public servanthood.
