The Kansas City Chiefs have fans everywhere around the world that span generations. The recent success starring Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce has garnered new members of Chiefs Kingdom as the team attempts the Super Bowl three-peat.
On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, WNBA star Caitlin Cark joined the Kelce brothers to explain her Chiefs fandom, which dates back to her childhood and prominence in the family.
“I had family in Kansas City, and I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, which is only three hours from Kansas City,” said Clark. “So that’s just the closest NFL team; my dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up. People think I’m like a bandwagon Chiefs fan, I’m like, ‘No, I was there before Patrick (Mahomes) and Travis.’ We were ride or dies, so we’ve been big fans.”
The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year helped bring more viewers to the league and became a nationally recognized star in basketball. Clark also mentioned being a fan of Taylor Swift and attending ‘The Eras Tour’ but has yet to watch a Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium.
