Lamar wanted Arrowhead to retain the Arrowhead name

**BigRedChief** · 08:52 AM

From a Doug Tucker AP article:

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.

FC Dallas fans have been talking about the field at Pizza Hut Park being named after him, too. Before it was built, it was nicknamed "Uncle Lamar's House of Whoopass."

Hmmmmm, "Uncle Lamar's House of Whoopass at Arrowhead Stadium" has a nice ring to it. We need to jump on that before the Pizza Hut guys make their name change official.

The word here in Frisco is that they are going to erect a statue of Lamar and put it in Pizza Hut Park. I'm loving this as my son will be playing in this stadium when he's in high school in a few years.

That would be fine, as long as they put

"The Oldest Stadium in the NFL without a Championship"

underneath it.

Nice but why should Carl get any of the Credit?

Dang that was funny

If nothing else, you can rename a section of I-70, or maybe the Blue Ridge Cutoff, just rename it Lamar Hunt Way, or Drive. I like that idea... and I figured Lamar wouldn't want the name changed.

Exactly!

Just by reading that small piece you could almost tell Lamar knew he wasn't going to make it. Truly sad.

I am ok with naming the field and they also need to erect a statute in his honor
