It’ll just be called “Kansas City Stadium”. <br/><br/>So digital maps, Siri, and other voice assistants, along with state signage that points the way to Arrowhead will be “wrong”. International visitors will see “Kansas City Stadium” on tickets and other printed media, but goods luck asking your phone to drive you there. <br/><br/>I just asked Siri to “take me to Kansas City Stadium” and she routed me to Sporting KC soccer stadium in KCK, not Arrowhead in KCMO. #WorldCup2026 #2026WorldCup 2026-04-14T19:26:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf3vkn724tdqkxqffa94r9pxhzwmk4vmfpsa25lz3nyfj3yax249szyqpca97d708ugp7e5d00z04zjvkxj4v98kdsch2hyfdhrausqglu5lrz76q So #today I bought a new nose trimmer and yes, I’m officially old and boring.
