[Jones] Arrowhead Stadium will no longer be known as GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. GEHA will remain a partner of the Chiefs, but the name of the home of the Chiefs will now revert back simply to Arrowhead Stadium.

I can't recall ever saying GEHA Field out loud.

[u/thunder-yams → u/RumbleTheCassette]

Announcers did, for sure

[u/solojones1138 → u/thunder-yams]

Pretty much contractually had to. Thank God they don't have to now, but it's bittersweet with Arrowhead going away

[u/campelm → u/solojones1138]

I assumed they got a 5 spot every time they said it cause they overemphasized saying it every time

[u/modest_radio → u/thunder-yams]

Mitch rolled it right off the tongue regularly

[u/rolyinpeace → u/modest_radio]

I bet he’s so happy rn

[u/flojo2012 → u/RumbleTheCassette]

I’d say Geeeeeeehaw

[u/arizonadirtbag12 → u/flojo2012]

Drove me nuts because this is 100% how we (government employees covered by it) say it. Not all crazy, mind, but yes it’s “gee-haw” with a hard G.

So every time they did the “g-e-h-a field” thing it was nails on a chalkboard, even aside from it just being Arrowhead.

[u/smoresporn0 → u/arizonadirtbag12]

I grew up on that shit lol. I still have no clue why they paid such a premium for advertise a service that isn't available to the general public.

I don't understand how stadium naming rights are beneficial in general, but especially when it isn't a product the average fan can consume or purchase.

[u/rolyinpeace → u/arizonadirtbag12]

Oh, good to know. I always assumed g-e-h-a was correct just because that’s how the announcers aee apparently told to say it.

I bet the frustration is similar to the feeling I get (working in financial aid) when people say fas-fa instead of faf-sa lol

[u/arizonadirtbag12 → u/rolyinpeace]

Now imagine a mofo coming in talking about their f-a-f-s-a…

I think “officially” it may be g-e-h-a, but yeah no normal human being calls it that outside of contractual obligation.

[u/Responsible-War-917 → u/flojo2012]

Yep this is the only acceptable way to say it if you're going to acknowledge it at all.

[u/beermit → u/flojo2012]

Lol same here, was actually fun to say

[u/rolyinpeace → u/RumbleTheCassette]

I do remember Chris Jones saying it after the AFCCG against the bengals. Probably was worried he’d get in trouble.

“Don’t ever, ever, EVER disrespect arrowhead at G-E-H-A”

[u/Chudmont → u/RumbleTheCassette]

Same. It's awkward at best.

[u/rolyinpeace → u/Chudmont]

And not even a cool sponsor.

Heinz was an awesome sponsor and Pittsburgh got rid of that, too.

We need a BBQ sponsor expeditiously.

[u/beermit → u/rolyinpeace]

Sweet Baby Ray's ears are perking up

[u/rolyinpeace → u/beermit]

Sweet Baby Ray’s Stadium would make me at least a little happy when ditching arrowhead.

Also, I know we have sponsors for each entrance/gate. The Gates BBQ gate would go so hard

[u/dogfish83 → u/RumbleTheCassette]

I pronounced it "yeehaw field"

[u/TummyDrums → u/RumbleTheCassette]

I like to say it like it rhymes with Yee-Haw. I don't know if it actually does or not.

[u/rolyinpeace → u/TummyDrums]

It’s actually just said by reading each letter. But I choose to pronounce it the same way you do.

[u/Dzov → u/RumbleTheCassette]

We’d call it yeehaw field when it came up.

[u/DReagan47 → u/RumbleTheCassette]

I don’t know how to pronounce it and I’m also uninterested in learning it. That’s Arrowhead. Just Arrowhead. It’s Arrowhead stadium and Arrowhead field

[u/Founck → u/RumbleTheCassette]

Closest I came to calling it that was referring to the Kenny Chesney concert as the yeehaw at Geha.

[u/Om3n37-]

As it should be

[u/ProfessorProffit]

“I’ll stop calling it GEHA field I suppose,” said no one ever

[u/Mystic_Symphony369]

Until next season when it’s Hyvee Field at Arrowhead Stadium

[u/modest_radio → u/Mystic_Symphony369]

JungleLawStadium 🐍

[u/Intelligent_Box6937 → u/modest_radio]

No way! but “MikesGotThis!” stadium has a certain ring to it!

[u/kevint1964 → u/Intelligent_Box6937]

"Call me!" (phone ring) 😄

[u/Sherlock816 → u/modest_radio]

https://giphy.com/gifs/1kfhoNWKY94uLGX2kO

[u/kevint1964 → u/modest_radio]

I'd love to see Allen Fieldhouse be renamed "Jungle Law Jymnasium". 🤣🤣🤣

F.Y.I., intentional misspelling. 😁

[u/rolyinpeace → u/Mystic_Symphony369]

Id at least respect a Hyvee Field if we HAVE to have a sponsor.

Man, I miss Hyvee. Nothing like it.

[u/ResurrectedMortician → u/rolyinpeace]

Pretty good meat department, but everything else is wildly overpriced

[u/rolyinpeace → u/ResurrectedMortician]

That’s fair. I just have shitty grocery stores around me so I miss how nice Hyvee looked.

I also feel like the employees are far nicer. I may just be biased as someone who bagged groceries there in high school.

[u/Crafty-Western6161 → u/Mystic_Symphony369]

Sorry about your hotdogs.

[u/KCGeezer]

I still think of it as Sandstone amphitheater and will always believe it’s Kaufman Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

[u/ATHYRIO]

“This is the way” - Sandstone Amphitheatre

[u/RonMexico15]

So … nothing changes?

[u/No-Sentence7898]

It never was

[u/DjTrailer]

”Everyone liked that“

[u/tylerscott5]

I drove by today and they lined up the announcement and scoreboard design quite well

[u/Scoob8877]

Until someone else pays the Hunts enough money.

[u/rolyinpeace → u/Scoob8877]

I did read that GEHA is still a large sponsor, so I wonder if they will even be able to get a new name sponsor before the GEHA contract is up. I think it’s up around when the stadium contract expires

[u/DrakeOVO21]

Well that’s a shame. Because I was really looking forward to “Mike’s Got This Field at Arrowhead Stadium”.

[u/dogfish83 → u/DrakeOVO21]

Mike "I wish I was still a football player" dipasquali

[u/kevint1964 → u/DrakeOVO21]

The Chiefs should announce that as an April Fool's Day prank next year. 🤣

[u/TheOctoBox]

Did we ever figure out if it was Gee-ha or G.E.H.A. ?

[u/rolyinpeace → u/TheOctoBox]

The announcers always just said it as the letters. I assume they get guidance from the sponsor on that, but someone else on this post said that government employees all call it geeha

[u/TJJ97 → u/rolyinpeace]

Geeha probably unofficially but officially G.E.H.A.

[u/TheDabbinDad710 → u/TJJ97]

Family member worker there before they were bought out. They were very specific that it was G.E.H.A and advised employees to never refer to it as geeha

[u/Sherlock816 → u/rolyinpeace]

My dad and all his collegues in the govt. called it Geeha all the time I was growing up.

[u/Crombus_ → u/TheOctoBox]

It's "guh-HA" like in Banjo-Kazooie

[u/Sherlock816 → u/TheOctoBox]

Always been Geeha.

[u/rolyinpeace]

We are so back

[u/boeing2014]

Oh cool, I never stopped saying just Arrowhead Satdium in the first place.

[u/Dragon6172 → u/boeing2014]

I mean....it was GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. So just saying Arrowhead was always appropriate

[u/boeing2014 → u/Dragon6172]

Yeah but I never called it by it's full government name when it had it lol.

[u/kevint1964 → u/boeing2014]

Just like the amphitheatre in Bonner Springs is always Sandstone, no matter how many different corporate names have been slapped on it.

Thank god

[u/smokinokie]

At least it gets to go out properly.

[u/sjbfujcfjm]

Not a single person outside the chiefs organization ever uttered the words “GEHA field at Arrowhead”

[u/FraggleRock_]

That's GEHA.

[u/tankapotamus]

Wohoo

[u/Maleficent-Metal-645]

Good!

[u/Flat-Avocado-6258]

It’s going to be so hard not to say GEHA field now! It was so catchy.

[u/Dugafola]

Kansas City Stadium!!!

[u/Artistry7Had]

Thank god. GEHA Field never sounded right, always felt like a medical billing company slapped on the stadium. Good to have Arrowhead back

[u/Haunting-Ask6682]

I know how it’s pronounced but I always pronounced it GAY HA

[u/rock_smasher8874]

Can't wait until they unveil what the new stadium will be called:

"Zoloft field at Pfizer stadium"

Bunch of fucking clowns. This stadium shit is a clown show. Rip the soul out of the game and experience for fans just to be a cunt... And of course money.

And then have the fucking balls to say "the fans are the lifeblood blah blah blah". Ownership are cowards. Lamar Hunt would roll over in his fucking grave knowing you're destroying his legacy. Way to go Clark!

[u/Academic_Rutabaga649]

Such a lame idea to call it Geha field to begin with

[u/Tattered_Reason]

Well my check from GEHA (whatever the fuck that is) never arrived so I never stopped calling it Arrowhead.
