The Kansas City Chiefs have revealed their pregame and halftime entertainment for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills.
Serving as the color guard will be the Kansas City Fire Department as retired United States Navy Petty Officer First Class Generald Wilson performs the national anthem.
Wilson performed the national anthem during the Chiefs' 2023 AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals, and during the 2014 World Series for the neighboring Kansas City Royals.
As Wilson delivers the final line of the anthem and the fans yell "home of the Chiefs," there will be a fleet of B-2 Spirits flying over the stadium – coming out of Whiteman Airforce Base located near Knob Noster, Missouri (approximately one hour away from Kansas City).
Following that, Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt will be the drum honoree on the GEHA Drum Deck. Hunt banging the drum has become an AFC Championship Game tradition as he has done it each time that it has been played in K.C. He'll be hoping to capture the trophy with his father's name on it for the fifth time.
Finally, the halftime show will feature a medley of songs from the country music duo Big and Rich (Big Kenny and John Rich). Big and Rich began collaborating together back in 1998 and have released six albums since 2004, winning multiple Grammy and CMA Awards since. Our friend Rob Collins of Fox 4 Kansas City had the scoop.
Fans attending the game should be sure to get their seats early to enjoy the pregame festivities. The Chiefs have one of the best game atmospheres in all of sports, and earlier this week quarterback Patrick Mahomes issued a challenge to fans who are planning to come to the game. Parking lots are set to open at 1 p.m. CT with gates expected to open at 3:30.
