Youth Football Night: Saturday night's game will focus on the Kansas City Chiefs and the Hunt Family Foundation's support of the NFL's Play 60 and Youth Football movements. Four local youth football teams - the Bonner Springs Braves, the Seaman Vikings, the CCJA Mustangs and the Pleasant Hill Roosters - will join both the Chiefs and 49ers on each team's respective sideline during the National Anthem. At halftime, all four teams will participate in a scrimmage on the Arrowhead Stadium field.
The Chiefs aim to help contribute to the NFL movement for an active generation by encouraging young fans to eat healthy and be active for at least 60 minutes a day. The Chiefs have championed spreading the NFL's Play 60 message of living a healthy lifestyle through exercise and healthy eating through schools, community groups and other agencies.
This week, the Chiefs First Pass Community Quarterback will be Tony Severino, tenured head football coach at Rockhurst High School who will retire following the 2019 season. Severino will leave Rockhurst as one of the most decorated high school football coaches in the country, owning the third-most wins (338) in Missouri high school football history and seven Missouri High School Football State Championships. Severino is a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and was named the Chiefs Missouri High School Coach of the Year in 1998.
GEHA Drum Deck: New in 2019, the Chiefs are introducing an exciting new space to the Arrowhead Stadium gameday experience: the GEHA Drum Deck. Located below the west scoreboard in the upper level, the GEHA Drum Deck is a new, permanent site for two gameday traditions – the Drum Honoree and the Tony DiPardo Spirit Leader.
The new GEHA Drum Deck takes an exciting and important part of the gameday experience from the field level and elevates it to a more prominent position in the stadium, bringing fans in the upper level closer than ever before to a pair of special Arrowhead traditions.
Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat: To help celebrate the franchise's 60th season, the Kansas City Chiefs introduced the Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat at Arrowhead Stadium. For each home game in the 2019 season, the Chiefs will select one honoree (plus one guest) who embodies 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.
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. Saturday's honoree Paul Thomas, head football coach at West Platte High School in Weston, Mo.
Thomas' tenure includes a successful stretch as a head football coach in the greater Kansas City area, as well as serving as an advocate for high school football in the state of Missouri. Thomas took over as the head football coach at West Platte following the passing of his dear friend, Nate Danneman, who was the former head football coach at West Platte. Thomas felt the call to continue building what Danneman had started at West Platte and did so by becoming the next head football coach of the Blue Jays, leading the program through the foundation set by Danneman to support young adults through high school athletics.
50/50 Raffle: The Hunt Family Foundation 50/50 Raffle will benefit the Derrick Thomas/Neil Smith Third and Long Foundation on Saturday. The Foundation strives to impact the lives of local youth facing challenging situations by providing opportunities to improve literacy rates. Prices are set at three tickets for $5, 10 tickets for $10 and 60 tickets for $20.
