Did You Know
The '''Kansas City Chiefs''' are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The Chiefs are a member of the Western Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Originally named the '''Dallas Texans''', the club was founded by Lamar Hunt in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League. In 1963, the team moved to Kansas City, Missouri and were renamed the Kansas City Chiefs.
From 1960 to 1969, the Chiefs were one of the most successful franchises in the AFL, winning the league championship three times (1963, 1966, 1969) and having an all-time record of 92-50-5.[ ''Official site of the Pro Football Hall of Fame'', Accessed 12 May 2008.] The Chiefs hold the distinction of being the second AFL team (after the New York Jets) to defeat an NFL club in an AFL-NFL World Championship Game when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV.
Despite their success in the American Football League, their victory in Super Bowl IV remains the club's last championship to date. However, the Chiefs' fanbase is considered one of the best, with Arrowhead Stadium boasting a league best 149 game sell-out streak and a home record of 104-40 since 1990.
