UPDATE, 3pm | One of our most successful Chiefs stories to date comes from host Taylor Hemness' recent interview with 93-year-old Chiefs fan Bob DeWitt.

Bob came to town before the Chiefs.

“There was no Kansas City Chiefs, there was no American Football Conference,” DeWitt said. “That was in 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 with the opening of Arrowhead Stadium in 1972, the game experience changed dramatically.

Watch the rest of the interview with Taylor in the video player below.
