A voter-approved sports complex bond issue in 1967 stated that a plan originally for a single, multi-purpose, domed stadium (it would have been the world's first rolling stadium roof), but this was later discarded, due to prohibitive costs and project delays. Kansas City officials then constructed two stadiums, one for kansas city baseball and another for football. The stadiums are the the first of their kind.

Arrowhead was completed for the 1972 season. On August 12, 1972, Arrowhead Stadium became the home of the chiiefs after Municipal Stadium was abandoned in 1971.

It is one of the National Football League's loudest stadiums. The Chiefs first game at Arrowhead Stadium was against the St. Louis Cardinals.
