Arrowhead Stadium to host 2025 matchup between Nebraska, Cincinnati

Arrowhead Stadium is set to host a college football matchup between the Nebraska #Cornhuskers and the Cincinnati #Bearcats in 2025.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been the primary occupant of Arrowhead Stadium since its opening in 1972, but the venerable venue is no stranger to hosting other teams.

During the 2024 college football season, the Kansas Jayhawks were welcomed to Arrowhead Stadium for four home games while renovations were underway at David Booth Memorial Stadium in Lawrence.

Arrowhead Stadium also hosted a legendary rivalry game between the Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers in 2007 and served as the home of the Kansas City Wizards.

On Monday, it was announced that GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium would host a matchup between the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers and the University of Cincinnati Bearcats on Thursday, August 28, 2025.

Arrowhead made for a marvelous venue during Kansas’ home games in 2024 without impacting field conditions to the extent that it hindered the Chiefs’ ability to play on Sundays.

Stay tuned to see if any more college games get added to the schedule at Arrowhead Stadium in the coming weeks and months.

Huskers to open 2025 season at Arrowhead Stadium

Nebraska will open the 2025 season at an NFL stadium.

Nebraska Football will face the Cincinnati Bearcats on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The kickoff time and television network will be announced in the spring when the Big 12 has its television selection process.

Nebraska’s season opener has undergone some venue changes over the last couple of weeks. It was originally set for the Cincinnati campus, before moving to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Now, Kansas City looks to be the destination.

The Huskers currently have the only win in the series between these two teams. That game took place on November 29, 1906. Nebraska shut out Cincinnati by a 41-0 margin that day.

The Huskers will be looking to build off a bowl game appearance to end the 2024 season. Cincinnati will be looking to start fresh, after finishing 5-7 in 2024.

This game should provide plenty of intrigue for Huskers fans, as it takes place at a premier venue in the Midwest. One thing is for sure: Nebraska fans will travel well.

Kansas Jayhawks RB earns awards after standout performance vs. Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes

Kansas #Jayhawks RB Devin Neal earned awards for his standout performance against ‘Coach Prime’ and the Colorado #Buffaloes.

The Kansas City Chiefs are fresh off a win against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, but while the defending champions were in Charlotte, the Kansas Jayhawks took their place at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.

The Jayhawks are currently in the middle of a major renovation to the David Booth Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, and with construction well underway, the Chiefs were kind enough to let Kansas use its Arrowhead for a few of its home games.

Though head coach Lance Leipold’s team has underperformed this season, a few Jayhawk standouts have given the Kansas faithful hope in recent weeks, including dynamic running back Devin Neal.

Neal had a huge performance for the Jayhawks on Saturday, totaling 287 yards and four touchdowns against ‘Coach Prime’ and the No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes.

The elusive back was rightfully recognized on Monday for his performance, receiving AP Offensive Player of the Week and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, among other awards.

Though Kansas’ season will come to an end soon, expect to see lots of hype around Neal as draft boards begin to take shape.

Top highlights from Kansas Jayhawks’ win vs. Colorado Buffaloes at Arrowhead Stadium

See all the top highlights from the Kansas #Jayhawks’ win over Coach Prime and the Colorado #Buffaloes at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in Charleston this weekend taking on the Carolina Panthers, and with the reigning Super Bowl champs out of town, the Kansas Jayhawks took their place at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Jayhawks had a rough start to the season, going 1-6 through the first seven games of head coach Lance Leipold’s third campaign with Kansas.

The Jayhawks fought back to lift themselves to 4-6 over the past few weeks, and with a trip to a third-straight bowl game on the line, Kansas tightened up in crunch time to soar past Coach Prime the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday.

Shifty running back Devin Neal took over the exciting Big 12 matchup, tallying 287 total yards and four touchdowns on 37 rushes and four catches.

After playing spoiler in back-to-back weeks, the Jayhawks could be on their way to another bowl game if they can grind out another win against the Baylor Bears next Saturday.

Take a look at some of the top plays from Kansas’ senior day win at Arrowhead on Saturday:

Top Highlights:

Taylor Swift’s security alertedly stopped photographers from taking invasive photos before Chiefs-Broncos

Security team was all over it.

With Taylor Swift enjoying a brief break before the Eras Tour concludes with its Canadian leg, the 14-time Grammy winner was back at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to watch the Chiefs take on the Broncos. But from the moment Swift arrived at the stadium, we could see just how much thought and preparation goes into protecting Swift — even during a short walk from a golf cart to elevator.

See, Swift’s outfit for the Week 10 appearance included a plaid red combo with a skirt. As Swift was making her walk down to the elevators, her security team took the lead to tell surrounding photographers to stand up. The guards repeated that command several times as Swift herself slowed her walk until all the photographers were standing.

They were doing that to protect Swift from invasive photos.

Given the slope down that tunnel, the security team acted fast to make sure photographers couldn’t take photos up Swift’s skirt. And while these are credentialed photographers and not paparazzi, Swift’s team was not going to let any invasive photos get taken there — even unintentionally.

It goes to show just how thorough her security is during these games and why we may only see Swift at Chiefs home games during the regular season. Her security knows Arrowhead Stadium so well that they are able to react quickly for a specific situation like that.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ undefeated 5-0 start has them atop the NFL and poised to secure the elusive three-peat Super Bowl title.

Chiefs safety Justin Reid has contributed to the last two titles and is a trusted veteran in the secondary. He appeared as a guest in a recent episode of the ‘Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams’ to give his insight on a topic many have shown interest in, especially with tight end Travis Kelce and music superstar Taylor Swift.

“Absolutely. Who doesn’t play better when they want to impress their girlfriend?” said Reid, proudly praising the importance of having significant others attend games. “Taylor (Swift), come to all the games. Taylor, keep coming,”

Reid received a fantastic surprise during the Chiefs victory on Monday Night Football over the New Orleans Saints. In a sea of fans at Arrowhead Stadium, he spotted his girlfriend Marissa Rand holding up a sign revealing that she and the Chiefs defensive back are expecting their first baby together.

The “Justin, I’m pregnant” sign and the precious moment were captured on their joint Instagram accounts on Tuesday, with Rand supplying the caption: “I heard Super Bowl babies are God’s favorite ;).”

Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt describes his return to Arrowhead Stadium: ‘I missed it so much’

Kansas City #Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt describes his return to Arrowhead Stadium: ‘I missed it so much’ | @EdEastonJr

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt picked up where he left off over five years after his success with the franchise. The veteran running back showed the versatility and reliability needed at the position since starter Isiah Pacheco’s injury.

“That was a great feeling to get back in the endzone. I missed it very much,” said Hunt. “That’s why I threw up a heart to show my love to Kansas City,” said Hunt, who finished playing his first home game at Arrowhead Stadium since 2018. “I’m having a blast out there. It’s so much fun. I missed it so much. (Head) Coach (Andy) Reid does a great job of putting us in great situations to be successful.”

The 29-year-old carried the ball 27 times in his first start of the season during the Week 5 victory, tallying 102 yards, and showing little rust or fatigue from the heavy workload without a training camp.

“I feel like I’m going to be alright. We have some time before we get back, so that’s good for me right now,” said Hunt. “I just need to stay working out.”

Hunt appears to have snagged the starting role moving forward, but all the running backs are expected to continue to see time on the field.
