Lamar wanted Arrowhead to retain the Arrowhead name

In his last visit with his old friend, Steadman sat at Hunt's hospital bed for almost an hour. They reminisced about the past and spoke of the future, including vast improvements planned for Arrowhead Stadium. The 78,000-seat facility has sold out for 132 consecutive games, making the Chiefs one of the best-supported teams in the league, and Hunt intended to keep it that way.

"Jack, I want you to make sure the stadium is the new Arrowhead and that people will be excited about it," Hunt told Steadman. "We owe that to the taxpayers."

And the sports world owes a tremendous debt to Lamar Hunt.
