Chiefs Parade 2020: Date, Route, Expectations After Super Bowl Win

The Chiefs will bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Kansas City 50 years after defeating the Minnesota Vikings to win their last championship. 

Since many fans of the Chiefs weren't alive in 1969, the championship parade in Kansas City is sure to be a raucous affair, perhaps not dissimilar from the 2015 Royals World Series celebration. 

According to Fox Sports in October 2016, even though Kansas City is the sixth-smallest media market among NFL teams, the team has seen the second-highest average attendance in the last 10 years. So one can imagine what that might look like when there's a championship parade involved. 

Whether you're planning on braving the crowds to celebrate with your fellow fans or tuning in to the parade, we'll cover everything you need to know to bask in the glory of the Chiefs' win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV at Hard Rock Stadium.

The Kansas City Sports Commission has created a website that fans can use to help plan their experience. As of Sunday night, it tells fans to check back for more information on Tuesday.

At that time, fans can find out everything they need to know about public transit options, street closures, the best viewing points along the parade route and where the players, coaches and executives will hold a rally to deliver their speeches and thank the fans for their support. 

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas was clearly hyped about the impending celebration:

Fans can also sign up to receive text alerts about the celebration from ALERTKC by texting "CHIEFSPARADE" to 888-777.

According to local affiliate KCUR, Kansas City officials think the parade could top the crowds—estimated at 800,000—that turned out for the Royals when they captured the World Series in 2015. 

Kansas City Sports Commission spokeswoman Katherine Fox told KCUR that the city "learned a lot from the Royals parade" and that the commission and the city are working closely together to have protocols in place to maintain safety and order. 

If you live in Kansas City, you know the drill: Get your doctors' notes ready for Wednesday. You're about to come down with a bad case of the Chiefs flu.
