The Love for the Chiefs, the Love for the City!

Once again, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl bound! The Chiefs won the AFC Championship by beating the Buffalo Bills on January 26th. They will be facing the Philadelphia Eagles during Superbowl LIX. This is a historic matchup as Super Bowl LIX marks the second time in three years the Chiefs and the Eagles face each other. It is safe to say that Kansas City (and its surrounding areas) are proud of the Chiefs!

This past holiday season, the Chiefs and Kansas City reached a whole new level – being the stars of a Hallmark Christmas movie. There were multiple cameos, many locations throughout Kansas City, and the spirit of Chiefsmas all wrapped into an hour-and-a-half movie. Kansas City has been booming with pride. The city is welcoming visitors at record levels as Visit KC (the region’s primary destination sales and marketing organization) deploys its “From the Heart” campaign to engage and drive more than 28 million visitors.

The Chiefs brought in nearly $1 Billion for the Kansas City region in 2023, according to an economic impact report produced by Econsult Solutions, Inc. This economic activity supports 5,860 total jobs annually and $28.8 dollars in direct, indirect and induced tax revenue for the state of Missouri annually. Moreover, not only do the Chiefs boost the economy in the region, but many of the players on the team and their family and friends make donations to various local nonprofit organizations.

If it boosts the Chiefs, it boosts the city!
