The Kansas City Chiefs' home stadium will revert to being known simply as Arrowhead Stadium. The team announced Wednesday that the naming rights agreement with GEHA, which had added "GEHA Field" to the stadium's name since 2021, will no longer be used. The simplified name was preferred by fans, players, and coaches, and the venue was even referred to as "Kansas City Stadium" during the World Cup. The Chiefs will continue to play at Arrowhead Stadium until their lease ends in 2031, when they plan to move to a new domed stadium in Kansas.

The team announced Wednesday that one of the NFL’s iconic venues had shed its official name — GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium — after the Government Employees Health Association agreed to using the classic, simplified name of the facility going forward. The Chiefs and GEHA signed a naming rights deal in 2021 that resulted in the name change.

The Chiefs will continue playing at Arrowhead Stadium until their lease expires in 2031, at which point they will move into a $3 billion domed stadium being built across the state line in Kansas.
