About Arrowhead Stadium Parking Lots
Arrowhead Stadium Parking Lots serve the Truman Sports Complex at One Arrowhead Drive in Kansas City, Missouri, providing dedicated space for Kansas City Chiefs games, concerts and other stadium events. Advance purchase of a parking pass is required; cash is not accepted at toll booths, and you must follow the assigned pass and official parking map when you arrive. Lot opening times vary by event—Chiefs parking typically begins 4.5 hours before kickoff, while concert timing is communicated separately. Access to the Truman Sports Complex is reserved for ticketed event guests, and you cannot remain in the lots once the game or concert headliner begins. One vehicle per space is the standard rule, and staff will direct you to your designated area.

When do the parking lots open?
For Chiefs home games, parking lots generally open 4.5 hours before kickoff unless the team communicates a different schedule. Concert and special-event timing is set individually for each occasion, so check your event details or the official Chiefs parking page before you travel. Arriving early allows time to locate your assigned lot, set up any tailgate activities and make your way to the stadium gates without rushing.
How do parking passes work?
Every vehicle needs an advance parking pass; use the parking category on your pass and the event’s official parking map. Follow the parking designation printed on your pass and the directions given by parking staff when you enter the complex. Do not use your pass to claim an extra tailgate space beyond your single vehicle slot, and make sure any pass for a larger vehicle—such as an RV or trailer—matches the actual vehicle you bring.
Oversized vehicles require particular care when selecting a pass. The Chiefs distinguish vehicles occupying up to two front-to-back spaces from larger buses and RVs. An oversized pass cannot be used simply to create extra tailgating room. Vehicles longer than forty feet are not permitted inside the complex under the published parking rules.
What are the tailgating and access rules?
One vehicle occupies one marked space. You are welcome to tailgate before kickoff or a concert, but once the game begins or the headliner takes the stage, guests may not remain in the parking lots; entry to the Truman Sports Complex requires a valid event ticket. Keep traffic lanes and required access routes clear at all times so emergency vehicles and other patrons can move safely. Staff enforce these guidelines throughout the day.
Is accessible parking available?
Accessible parking spaces and courtesy carts operate before and after events, subject to availability and valid disability credentials. To arrange accessible parking or request pre-event cart assistance, call Fan Experience at 816-920-4237. The same office can help coordinate an accessible seat exchange if needed, though availability is never guaranteed. Wheelchair and companion seating purchases are handled by the ticket office at 816-920-9400.
What should I know about entering the stadium?
A parking pass grants access to the lot but does not serve as stadium admission; you must hold a separate event ticket to enter Arrowhead Stadium. Most stadium events, including Chiefs games, have a no-re-entry policy once you pass through the gates, so plan accordingly. If your event allows exceptions, confirm the policy in advance. Approved bags include clear plastic, vinyl or PVC totes up to 12 × 6 × 12 inches, a one-gallon clear freezer bag, or a small clutch no larger than 4.5 × 6.5 inches. Medical items require inspection at the gate.
Outside food is prohibited inside the stadium. If you have medical dietary needs, contact Fan Experience at 816-920-4237 or fanexperience@chiefs.com before your visit. The Chiefs mobile app provides a map of concession stands, though specific menus vary by event. Weapons and outside alcohol are not permitted, and you must present valid identification to purchase alcoholic beverages.
What facilities and conduct rules apply?
Arrowhead Stadium offers seating across field, club and upper levels, with accessible platforms and companion seats available on each level; your ticket and the official seating map control exact placement. Accessible restrooms are located on every level, and changing stations are installed in many restrooms and all family restrooms. Guest conduct rules prohibit blocking aisles and other disruptive behavior to ensure everyone enjoys the event safely.
