Lamar Hunt statue unveiled at Arrowhead’s new Founder’s Plaza

The Kansas City Chiefs today pulled the blanket off of a nine-foot Lamar Hunt statue. Bronze Lamar is looking north, much as he did 47 years ago, when he moved the Dallas Texans to KC.

Hunt’s family and linebackerish NFL commissioner Roger Goodell were on hand for the unveiling. Politicians, former players and Red Coaters cheered and aahed in recognition as they gazed upon the statue, which presents Hunt wearing his late-period nerd glasses and a shirt with rolled-up sleeves.
