AI Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs have revamped Arrowhead Stadium in preparation for hosting FIFA World Cup matches. Preparations highlight the city's historical association with the event since 1994.

More than three decades ago, Lamar Hunt and his son Clark stood on the field inside Arrowhead Stadium, trying to pitch FIFA on the prospect that their NFL stadium could play host to World Cup games hosted by the U.S. in the summer of 1994. "Clark has been keen on really living that legacy, finding a way for Kansas City and Arrowhead Stadium specifically to host World Cup matches," Matt Kenny, the Chiefs' executive vice president of operations and events, said Monday during a stadium tour.
