The playing surface at Arrowhead Stadium is getting a facelift before the postseason returns to Kansas City on Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs are replacing the center of the field, which weathered 10 games this season, with brand new sod in anticipation of the stadium’s most important game in at least 13 years.
Though the field would have been playable for the Chiefs’ divisional round matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game of this magnitude garnered special attention.
“We could have gotten through it without actually re-sodding, but we wanted to make sure that we put the best possible field out there for this playoff game,” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said.
