Every service will feature a message and supplemental worship beginning at 10 a.m.
Crucial Catch at Arrowhead: The Chiefs will take part in the NFL's Crucial Catch, Intercept Cancer campaign this weekend at Arrowhead Stadium. The league's Crucial Catch campaign is designed to raise early cancer detection awareness and promote healthy living habits.
Both the Chiefs and the Texans players and coaches, along with the game officials, will wear special gear with the Crucial Catch emblem and color scheme. Arrowhead Stadium will also don Crucial Catch signage, borders and banners. Much of the apparel worn at the game by players and coaches, along with brand new Crucial Catch game items, will be auctioned off on the league's official NFL Auction, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. The auction page can be found at nflauction.nfl.com.
A special 'I Cheer For' moment will occur during the first quarter break, in observance and recognition of this week's Crucial Catch game. All fans in attendance will receive a packet upon entrance into Arrowhead Stadium, with the 'I Cheer For' sign and marker included to properly represent the names of loved ones affected by cancer.
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. Sunday's honoree is 13-year-old Nicholas Parscale, a two-time cancer survivor who continues to encourage and motivate all of those around him.
Parscale has a unique spirit that resembles that of Lamar Hunt, and during Parscale's battles with brain cancer, he found the drive and inspiration to begin authoring a book focused on helping others navigate through their diagnosis on a path toward health
