The Kansas City Chiefs always put on a great show before kickoff.
Saturday will be no different as they get set to host the Houston Texans in an AFC divisional round matchup. Fans attending the game should be sure to get their seats early to enjoy the pregame festivities.
The Chiefs have announced that the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department will serve as the color guard. Then, Lanell Lightfoot will sing the National Anthem. Here is her description from her Facebook page:
"Lanell began her musical journey at the age of four and rose to prominence as a worship Leader, choir director, and teacher. She has performed before U.S Presidents and many distinguished figures."
Towards the end of the National Anthem, as per Arrowhead Stadium tradition, there will be a CH-47 Chinnock flyover by the 158th Aviation Battalion. Finally, the drum honoree on the GEHA Drum Deck will be former Chiefs' punting legend Dustin Colquitt.
The National Anthem, which ends with nearly 80,000 fans yelling "home of the Chiefs" with a flyover will give you goosebumps. Fans then begin doing the "tomahawk chop" as the drum honoree bangs the drum leading all the way up until the ball gets kicked off the tee.
This has become an annual tradition over the past several years, usually featuring a legendary team player. Colquitt is very deserving of the honor as he played 15 seasons in Kansas City.
He was one of the best punters throughout the entirety of his tenure with the Chiefs, but Colquitt only made the Pro Bowl twice and egregiously was never named an All-Pro. However, he was able to cap off his career with a Super Bowl win in 2019. Colquitt should end up in the Chiefs Hall of Honor one day.
