Kelce addressed the new moniker on the latest episode of his «New Heights» podcast, which he does with his brother Jason, the Philadelphia Eagles center who is also playing for a Super Bowl appearance on Sunday.
The tight end mentioned that Arrowhead Stadium reached 142 decibels during the team’s playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He wasn’t sure if he broke a record.

«We may have to break it up this week because a lot of Cincinnati Bengals fans call it ‘Burrowhead’ instead of Arrowhead,» Kelce said. «They’re throwing a lot of bulletin board material out there.»

«Oh, oh, oh, that’s so dangerous, for them. That’s so, so, well, you saw what happened when Trevor Lawrence said, ‘Uh, I don’t know if it’s going to be as loud as the Jaguars’ stadium. ‘ … It’s so loud in the (Arrowhead) stadium,” he said. “We take everything very personally. And I can’t even say that, I can’t even say what they’ve been saying… Yeah, go ahead, guys. Forward. There’s nothing like lighting up Arrowhead Stadium…it just isn’t.»
For what it’s worth, the Bengals have had the Chiefs’ number recently. Cincinnati is on a three-game winning streak against them and beat them in the AFC Championship last season. They have also been taken seven of the last eight games.
