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. Kansas City native, actress and comedian Heidi Gardner will serve as this week’s Drum Honoree while Mary Esselman, President and CEO of Operation Breakthrough, 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 30-year Season Ticket Member Mitzy Graybeal. Graybeal is a 10-year Chiefs Red Coater who served as the Red Coater Community Events Captain for two years and Head Captain for the past four. She also organizes a monthly ‘Cooks For Kids’ at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City, preparing meals for families with children receiving medical care at local hospitals.
