Kansas City Chiefs football isn’t nearly as exciting when it is not being called by world-renowned radio broadcaster Mitch Holthus. His iconic “Touchdown Kan-sas City” tagline is beloved by Chiefs fans everywhere, and the team celebrated 30 years with Holthus on the microphone on Tuesday.

Some of the most memorable plays in Chiefs history were narrated by Holthus’ golden voice, and with any luck, fans in Kansas City will continue hearing his broadcasts for another 30 years.
Holthus is a native of Fort Lewis, Washington but attended college at Kansas State in Manhattan. Originally known as the “Voice of the Wildcats”, Holthus started his career with the Chiefs in 1994 and is the longest-tenured play-by-play broadcaster in team history.
Kansas City would be lost without Holthus’ excitement on gameday, and the 30-year milestone he achieved with the team on Tuesday is plenty to celebrate for fans who can’t get enough of his archetypal calls.
