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 United States Marine Corps E-8 Master Sergeant and Leiomyosarcoma survivor Josh Parris.
Parris retired from the Marine Corps as a highly decorated Master Sergeant following 20 years of dedicated service. During his tenure as a member of the Marine Corps, Parris was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer. With a valiant fight through rounds of surgery and chemotherapy, Parris beat the diagnosis and has now been cancer free for 10 years. Parris' display of strength, character and determination represent one of the core characteristics of the Kansas City Chiefs organization; Winning with Character. By conquering his diagnosis in the way that he did, Parris is a proud representative of the values portrayed by Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt.
