Nick Capo was promoted to Vice President of Event Operations & Security on September 9, 2021, and enters his ninth season with the club in 2026 after originally joining the Chiefs in 2018 as the Director of Event Operations.

Reporting to the Executive Vice President of Arrowhead Operations and Events, Capo plays a critical leadership role in strategic planning and cross-functional coordination to ensure the safe, secure and efficient execution of all events at Arrowhead Stadium, including NFL games, concerts and large-scale special events. He oversees comprehensive operational readiness planning, integrating stadium logistics, life-safety protocols, emergency preparedness, and multi-agency security coordination into a unified event delivery framework.

Capo's team leads advanced operational planning and command-level alignment across internal departments and external partners, ensuring seamless communication and execution of event-day logistics. His portfolio includes oversight of stadium and practice facility security operations, encompassing threat assessment integration, credentialed access control, perimeter and ingress/egress strategy, public safety coordination, incident command structure implementation, and compliance with NFL and federal security standards. He works closely with local, state and federal law enforcement partners to support layered security planning and intelligence-informed operational decision-making.

In addition to overseeing day-to-day operational security, Capo has provided executive-level support for major internal initiatives and high-profile events, including the organization's four Super Bowl appearances following the 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023 seasons, where he contributed comprehensive travel logistics, team operations security support, and host-site coordination. He also served on the internal leadership committee responsible for launching Chiefs Fit, the organization's two state-of-the-art fitness, health and wellness centers, ensuring operational security, facility readiness, and risk mitigation frameworks were embedded from inception.

Prior to joining the Chiefs, Capo spent four years as the Senior Director of Ballpark Operations and Events for the San Diego Padres and Petco Park (2014-17). While in San Diego, he oversaw multiple departments, including security, event operations, guest services, groundskeeping, special events and ticket operations, and supported an event calendar that featured more than 150 baseball games and other special events. He served as the primary lead for operations and logistical planning for the 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Petco Park and was the club's primary contact with the City of San Diego related to the venue's event schedule.

Before making the jump to baseball, he spent 10 years (2005-14) in various managerial and director-level roles with both the Miami Dolphins and what is now Hard Rock Stadium. While in Miami, Capo served as the Executive Director of the Dolphins Cycling Challenge (2011-14), the Miami Dolphins premier fundraising event. He also served as Senior Director of Stadium Operations and Events (2010-12), Senior Manager of Stadium Operations (2008-10) and Manager of Event Operations (2005-07), handling many facets of operations for the football team and stadium, including event set-up and conversion, as well as staffing. He also completed two separate year-long internships with the Dolphins and Pro Player Stadium in 1999 and 2002.

Over the course of his professional career Capo has worked a number of notable events, including 11 Super Bowls, the MLB All-Star Game, WrestleMania and multiple major stadium concert tours.
