A.F.C. Championship Live Updates: Kansas City Takes Early 3-0 Lead Over Cincinnati

Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City’s home field, gives the Chiefs arguably the best home-field advantage in the N.F.L. The stadium, which seats 76,416 spectators, the fifth most in the league, holds a Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd noise at a sports stadium. The record was set in the first quarter of Kansas City’s 2014 game against the New England Patriots.

But some Bengals players and fans have insulted the stadium by deeming it “Burrowhead,” based on quarterback Joe Burrow’s dominance over Kansas City in their three most recent meetings. That has led at least one Kansas City player to call for breaking the record.
