Chiefs open Hall of Honor at Arrowhead

? It has everything from Hank Stram’s film projector to Len Dawson’s helmet to the children’s toy that inspired the NFL to call its championship game the Super Bowl.

Kansas City, Mo., mayor Mark Funkhouser looks over a display during the opening of the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Honor on Wednesday at the remodeled Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

In one of the most interesting exhibits, fans can read the handwritten notes Lamar Hunt once made in-flight on American Airlines stationery detailing his ideas about an audacious project he wanted to call the American Football League.

The Kansas City Chiefs opened their Hall of Honor on Wednesday, giving fans a free tour of an impressive, exhibit-stuffed interactive museum that seems certain to become one of the most popular new features in Arrowhead Stadium’s $325 million makeover.

The Hall contains 28,000 square feet and occupies a big chunk of the south concourse. In a salute to the always fan-friendly Hunt, who founded both the Chiefs and the AFL in 1959, it will be open to all fans every game day.

Owners want 18-game schedule

Atlanta — NFL owners are eager to increase the regular season from 16 to 18 games.

The players aren’t so sure.

During a five-hour meeting at a posh hotel in downtown Atlanta, the push to add two more games to the regular season picked up steam Wednesday — at least among those who sign the checks.

“I think it’s a win-win all around,” said Bob Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots.

The owners also unanimously approved Stan Kroenke’s proposal to purchase majority ownership of the St. Louis Rams, assuming he turns over control of two other teams he owns — the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche — to his son.
