who owns arrowhead stadium

Arrowhead Stadium is owned by the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority, a public entity in Jackson County, Missouri, and it is leased long term to the Kansas City Chiefs, who operate the venue as their home stadium.

Who actually “owns” Arrowhead?

• The legal owner of Arrowhead Stadium is the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority, which also owns the Truman Sports Complex where Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadium sit.

• The Kansas City Chiefs hold a lease to use and operate the stadium as their home field, including game-day operations and most commercial activities.

Why you might hear GEHA and other names

• Since March 2021, the official name has been “GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium” because GEHA (Government Employees Health Association) purchased the naming rights to the playing field.

• GEHA’s deal is a sponsorship and branding agreement only; it does not give them ownership of the stadium property itself.

Quick clarity on roles

• Jackson County Sports Complex Authority: Public owner/landlord of the stadium structure and complex.

• Kansas City Chiefs: Long-term tenant and operator, controlling events, tickets, and many revenue streams, including naming-rights revenue.

• GEHA: Corporate naming-rights partner for the field name “GEHA Field,” not the stadium owner.

TL;DR: The county authority owns Arrowhead, the Chiefs run it, and GEHA just owns the naming rights to the field, not the stadium itself.
