UPDATE, 3:00 PM | One of the best-performing Chiefs stories to date comes courtesy of host Taylor Hemness’ recent interview with 93-year-old Chiefs fan Bob DeWitt.

Bob came to town before the Chiefs did.

“There was no Kansas City Chiefs, there was no American Football Conference,” DeWitt said. “This was 1941.”

DeWitt moved from New York to Kansas City as a boy.

He attended Chiefs games at Municipal Stadium when the team moved from Dallas, but the game-day experience changed significantly when Arrowhead Stadium opened in 1972.
