Celebrate NFL kickoff in K.C. at the World's Largest Tailgate 🎉
The World's Largest Tailgate bash is back! And there's no better way to celebrate the start of another glorious NFL season in Kansas City than by attending!
The pregame festivities begin at 5 p.m. CT on Thursday outside GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. If you can't make it, make sure to check out the livestream on the Chiefs' website: chiefslive.com.
The bash - officially called "The World's Largest Tailgate: Tailgate Games" - will be co-hosted by Chiefs reporter Hayley Lewis and actor Rob Riggle and feature appearances by GOAT football mom Donna Kelce, actress and "Saturday Night Live" regular Heidi Gardner, actor Desi Banks, YouTube star Funny Marco, and more.
Here's the lineup:
Red Team
- Funny Marco (captain)
- Marley Spielberg, girls flag football national champion
- Austin Sprinz, YouTube and TikTok star
- Formz, U.K. artist and content creator
- Brad Ellis, Kansas City comedian
Gold Team
- Desi Banks (captain)
- Madysen Carrera, girls flag football player
- Erika Priscilla, TikTok star
- Nile Wilson, U.K. Olympic gymnast
- Jake Triplett, Kansas City comedian
Tons of activities and contests are scheduled, including the "Friendship Bracelet Challenge," the event's final competition. Members of both teams will compete to create the most Chiefs-colored friendship bracelets, which will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City.
You don't want to miss this party - 2023 was a hoot, and this year's event will be even better. There's no finer way to set the stage as the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs open their quest for a historic three-peat - the NFL's first! - against Lamar Jackson's Ravens.
See you Thursday!
