After a 375 million dollar renovation 2010 it became the 27th largest stadium in North America.  The Chiefs are members of the Western Division of the AFC. Win or lose, the Chiefs have loyal fans and game attendees. The city loves their Chiefs and shows the spirit and admiration for their team by wearing the color Red on game days, The mascot, K.C. Wolf, was introduced to the team in 1989 and was aptly named for the spirited fans known as "The Wolfpack". The K.C. Wolf was the first mascot to be inducted in the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2006.
