Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, is one of the most iconic and loudest stadiums in American sports.

Arrowhead is one of the few NFL stadiums that uses natural grass year-round, so no surface conversion is needed for the World Cup. Kansas City's summer climate is hot and humid, with temperatures around 30-35°C (86-95°F), but the open-air setting and evening matches help moderate conditions.
