21 Stadiums Across America You Didn't Know Were This Young

8. GEHA Field at Arrowhead (Shared – 2009 NCAA Use) – Missouri Western State (training)

While Arrowhead Stadium is most famous as the thunderous home of the Kansas City Chiefs, it has also played an important, if unconventional, role in college football. Beginning in 2009, the stadium began hosting select college matchups and became a training ground for Missouri Western State, blending professional-level infrastructure with a growing college presence. The venue’s capacity—over 76,000—makes it one of the largest spaces where college players have ever competed, offering a rare opportunity to play on the same turf as NFL legends. Arrowhead's atmosphere is legendary, often cited as one of the loudest stadiums in all of sports. For Missouri Western athletes and visiting programs, that translates into a big-stage experience that few college facilities can replicate. While not a full-time NCAA home, its impact on collegiate football—particularly for Missouri-based teams—has been significant, providing unmatched exposure and a taste of the big leagues for players chasing their gridiron dreams.
