Dearest Clark Hunt. I admired your father growing up as one of my heroes (along with George Brett and Hulk Hogan). His passion not just for the game of football but for building and creating something from seemingly nothing was awe inspiring. In 2006 I moved to Dallas partly in the vainest of hopes of someday working for the Hunt family, months later he passed away and I put on my best Chiefs hat and suit and went to his memorial at SMU where you shook my hand.
I ultimately moved to Arlington, TX where I lived near the region that now plays home to Jerry's World. I can say the one thing every. single. Cowboys fan has told me since it was built - this isn't a football stadium, it's our tourist destination. Jerry's a phenomenal business man and so are his kids, but I've watched games in the lukewarm December air and it just doesn't feel right. The fans feel less enthusiastic. The entire thing feels like an extremely expensive amusement park in which you never get much excitement (worse if you're not even a fan of the Cowboys I guess).
I can't imagine being in your shoes for the past 20 years or at this exact moment in time, you've done what your father never could - won 3 Super Bowls - and for that every Chiefs fan across the Kingdom is thankful and proud of you. You deserve our thanks and praise and you deserve to make a mark on the Chiefs legacy just as your father did. You deserve to etch your name into the annals of history and build your own lore that will be told to children huddled around a TV set watching a game some day.
But, some things are meant to be classics, they are meant to stand not for a few years or decades but for generations upon generations, inspiring each new wave of humans that has the privilege of admiring them, long outliving their original purpose.
The pyramids of Egypt, The Acropolis of Greece, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile and Eiffel Tower of France, the Colosseum of Rome in Italy, the Great Wall of China, The Mayan's Chichén Itzá in Mexico, The Inca's Machu Picchu in Peru, The newly discovered Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, The statue of Liberty in New York, Snake Mound in Ohio, the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco.
Here in the Middle of the country though, where the heart of the nation beats, we don't have any of that. It's flat for days, bereft of inspirational architecture and heritage in nearly every corner except one. A testament to a single man's vision, his tenacity, and his willingness to compromise so something he loves might flourish.
The pride on my grandfather and father's faces when they got to tell me the tale of how Lamar Hunt brought the NFL to Kansas City and breathed life into what had become our ancestral home (all men in my family for generations have been born in St Joseph, I was born in Kansas City breaking that trend) is something I will remember my entire life.
That is Arrowhead.
That is heaven.
A dome-less wonder of modern architecture with the entire history of the NFL weaved in and out of every inch of it's structure. From the fables of Lamar's office to the incredible sight when you see it rising up from the horizon, to the way it looks when aerial views show the sea of people wearing red and gold inside with waves rippling here and there, to that unmistakable deafening roar that has kept so many hearing aid suppliers in business and drove fear into the hearts of our adversaries.
I hope to someday get that same look on my face that my father and his father got when they told the tales of Lamar Hunt, but mine will get to include how Lamar Hunt's son turned the Chiefs into a dynasty worthy of global admiration. And I can't wait to see the glimmer in his eyes as the unmistakable visage of Arrowhead rises in front of him.
Arrowhead is special to every man, woman, and child in the region. It's where our heart beats from August through January in good years and August through December in tougher years. It's where we've jeered the Raiders and Broncos and cheered on the greatest Chiefs to ever live.
It should stay special.
Whatever decision you make, I hope you decide to keep it special.
