⛲️ KC's Best Hospitals

GEHA Later: The GEHA Field naming rights deal was signed in 2021, but it never really caught on. Players, coaches, media, and fans largely just call it “Arrowhead”. The Government Employees Health Association has now agreed to let the classic name stand on its own.

The Icon: Arrowhead Stadium opened in 1972 and has been one of the NFL's most recognized venues ever since. The Chiefs will continue playing at Arrowhead until their lease expires in 2031, when they move into the new $3 billion domed stadium in KCK. Do we think the Arrowhead name will travel?

Local Art: The show lines Westport’s streets, showcasing exclusively juried Kansas City artists across paintings, sculptures, jewelry, ceramics, photography, and more. The show draws more than 30,000 visitors annually and is the oldest local art fair in the city dating back to 1980.

What to Expect: Wander through artist booths lining Westport, sip a drink, catch live music, and let the kids paint their own artwork at hands-on activity stations. Every piece on display is created by a local KC artist with no outside vendors or national chains. This year’s event is presented by FNBO and supported by the City of KC's Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund.

🍷 Wild About Wine: The KC Zoo's Wine Walk for Wildlife returns Friday, August 28th, with 40 wines, 14 food trucks, live music, and chats with conservation leaders. VIP adds exclusive aquarium access, a dinner buffet, and more!*

🏟️ Stadium Green Light: Despite some pushback, the City Planning Commission approved rezoning for the new Royals stadium at Crown Center. The team is taking steps to alleviate concerns from nearby residents.

🛑 Data Center Red Light: On the flip side, the City Planning Commission voted to deny a proposed 20-story data center that would replace the historic Western Newspaper Union Building in downtown KCMO.

🏈 How ‘Bout Those Flags: The Chiefs' 2026 Red Thursday flag features Andy Reid's iconic "How 'Bout Those Chiefs" catchphrase. Presale starts today at $10, and flags hit KC McDonald's and select retailers on September 10th.

❌ Kitchen is Closed: Beer Kitchen, the Westport staple of 16 years, will close its doors this Sunday, August 9th.
