Marching Mizzou’s Legacy Supporting the Kansas City Chiefs: A Look Back Through the Years

Writer: m2alumnibandm2alumniband

For decades, Marching Mizzou has a proud tradition of supporting The Kansas City Chiefs! From thrilling Monday Night Football performances to unforgettable rehearsals at Arrowhead Stadium, our connection to Chiefs Kingdom runs deep. ❤️💛 


As the Chiefs prepare to take on the Eagles in Sunday’s Super Bowl, we’re looking back at some iconic moments that showcase Marching Mizzou’s close relationship with the team and at Arrowhead stadium.


Here is a snippet of photos from over the years. If you have more to share, send them to us at M2AlumniBand@gmail.com with the year taken and the name of the photographer to give credit.


The relationship between Marching Mizzou and the Chiefs dates back to the early 1970s. One of the earliest known photos captures a rehearsal at Arrowhead from 1972 when the stadium opened.
