On Friday night I was in-studio with Three Guys In A Garage, a radio show here in Kansas City. One of the hosts, Jay, and myself were on the tour of the New Arrowhead Friday morning and talked about all the new and improved aspects of the stadium.
We talked about 65 Toss Power Trap, Commissioner Roger Goodell coming to town, the view from the press box and a host of other features in the new stadium.
Here's one I forgot: The walls.
Yes, even the walls are interesting.
Along one of the lower level concourses, the Chiefs take you on a tour of history with famous players, coaches and moments throughout the history of the club.
I snapped a bunch of photos of the walls after the jump. My favorite? DT sacking Steve Young.
Make the jump and tell us what your favorite one is.

The Hank Stram one is pretty cool
And I can see how people would like the American flag one as well.

DT's #
should be worn by the defensive captian every year. kind of like what they do in college
Those were the good ole days... wait I wasn't alive then
Uh
I think they retired #58 last season…no one is touching that number again.
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
Yes, 58 & 16...
We all love Derrick, but I also have the love for Len Dawson. Thanks Len for the Super Bowls.
maybe put it on the wall right next to the tunnel....
remind all our defensive guys what greatness is and what they have to live up too.
Hall of Honor (Fame) is on the club level and....
you have to have club tickets to see it right? I really am dissapointed in that. I think the Hall of Honor should be available to everyone…..agree?

I've been told the Hall is South Side - Lower Level
We’re in 118 and I’m pretty sure it’s right above us.

Yep it is on the lower level...but...
at about 4:15 on the New Arrowhead video that Clark tours the stadium with the media…he says the Hall of Honor will be available to fans “with tickets for that level”

I had a 1994 picture of DT sacking Steve Young...
in my locker in HS. But I love that picture too. Just too sweet.
"Insert comment here."
I went to that game
It was like 16 years ago but I barely remember being in some sort of suite. I was definitely inside watching the game. Never been in a suite other than that.

awesome just awesome all of them are
but the DT one is hands down my favorite
Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.
That's just eerie...
I’ve never seen these walls before, nor did I hear anything about them. Yet, in my latest video, I mixed images into the texture of the walls.

Did they do the walls throughout the stadium?

Credit
Give the Chiefs and the Hunt Family credit. They put a lot of thought and their own money into the stadium renovation.
you could put a pic DT sitting on the bench and I'd love it...
Not sure I’ve seen anyone as calm yet you could see the intensity under the serface waiting to be unleashed…a true great.
very very very cool stuff
like exceedingly cool and way awesome … the Hallowed Halls and Walls of Arrowhead
I love that Founder’s Circle thing … with a statue of Lamar, that will be so redonkulously fantabulous

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Disagree with Clark re "65 Toss Power Trap"
Otis’s shake off of Erselle McBee down the right sideline for the 46 yd score (@ 13:38 OF THE 3RD) was the most exciting play. I think most fans of that era adored Otis and we’re relieved with that play extending the lead. Minnesota was a powerful team and it wasn’t until that TD that you could really exhale a little. What a moment in KC history!
My Top Six Offensive plays in Chiefs History
1. SB 4 – Dawson to Taylor (as described)
2. Montana to Barnett – 1993 Playoff vs. Pittsburgh -7 seconds left – 4th & goal at Arrowhead
3. Montana to Davis – 1994 in Denver – Final Drive
4. Joe Delaney 4th Qtr – 80 yd TD run vs. Denver – 1981 (at Arrowhead)
5 Andre Rison – Late TD at Oakland – Approx 1998?
6. 65 Toss Power Trap – SB 4
