A--
Our first stop will be at
Arrowhead Stadium--
"Home of The Chiefs."
Arrowhead is the 27th
largest stadium in North
America.
Ground was broke in July
of 1968 and Opening Day
was in August 1972.
Kansas City defeated the
St. Louis Cardinals in their
first game at Arrowhead.
Since then many games have
been played including college
and major league soccer plus
many a concert has been
attended at Arrowhead.
Now, we will travel back in
time to the year 1954 when
Kansas City got it's first major
league baseball team.
The Kansas City Athletics came
from Philidelphia that year.
They played here until 1967
when they left for California.
Major League baseball expanded
in 1969 and a new team arrived
in KC.

Interesting...I know very little about the Chiefs, so I'm glad to have this info...might come in handy with all the sports trivia that my sons-in-law love to play..
ReplyDeleteHey....isn't Kansas City where that huge-o-gigantic Mall is? May you have a safe trip. May the chiefs win a game and may you get to the mall of your dreams.(Love the music on this site)
