Are you looking for a Kansas City Chiefs experience at the 2023 NFL draft from Thursday, April 27, through Saturday, April 29?
The club announced this week that they’ll be hosting a brand-new Chiefs Kingdom Experience inside the NFL Draft Experience presented by Panini Trading Cards on the North Lawn of the National WWI Museum and Memorial during all three days of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Here’s a brief description from the team:
The Chiefs Kingdom Experience offers fans the chance to explore Kansas City’s rich football culture, while also offering immersive experiences. The largest on-site, club-sponsored draft activation in NFL history, the space will have a distinct Chiefs feel, with flags recreating the architectural styling of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and experiences that bring gameday to life for fans throughout the weekend.
Things that you’ll be able to do at the Chiefs Kingdom Experience include the following:
-
Tunnel Run-Out: Just like the players do on gameday, fans will run out of a tunnel to the roar of 142.2 decibels to enter the Chiefs Kingdom Experience activation.
-
Chiefs Bus: Developed in partnership with Built for Business, the Chiefs commissioned a custom double-decker bus that will make its debut in the Chiefs Kingdom Experience.
-
Custom Air Freshener Giveaway: While supplies last, visitors to the Chiefs Kingdom Experience will receive a custom tailgate-scented air freshener that captures the smoke and charcoal smells of the parking lots at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
-
Photo Opportunities: Fans will have the chance to snap photos with Chiefs Cheerleaders and KC Wolf throughout the weekend.
-
Stake Your Claim to the Kingdom: Have your photo taken and stick the instant print on the photo wall map to show where Chiefs fans and NFL fans have traveled from to visit the 2023 NFL Draft.
-
Kingdom Pillars: A static display featuring four separate pillars will provide guests the chance to read about the legacy of Lamar Hunt, the American Football League, the three-time Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, as well as the stories, rituals and traditions that make Chiefs Kingdom unlike any other. In addition, guests will see how they measure up against the height of TE Travis Kelce, the arm length of DT Chris Jones and the vertical jump of RB Isiah Pacheco.
-
Chiefs Brand Asset Programming: Chiefs Cheerleaders, the Chiefs Rumble drumline and KC Wolf will all be scheduled for performances and appearances at the Chiefs Kingdom Experience throughout the weekend. Once finalized, an appearance schedule will be available on the NFL OnePass app.

With the Chiefs Kingdom Experience coming to town, the club will pause its annual “Draft Fest” for Season Ticket Members. Instead, they’ll have an exclusive Season Ticket Member event at the NFL Draft Experience on Saturday, April 29 before it opens to the public.
More information from the team:
Season Ticket Members who secured their tickets for this opportunity in advance will be able to enter the NFL Draft Experience through Main Entry 1 (Wyandotte St. and Memorial Drive) on the south side of the National WWI Museum and Memorial beginning at 8:30 a.m. to experience the NFL Draft Experience before gates open at 9 a.m.
Upon entry, Season Ticket Members will receive a complimentary giveaway item, while supplies last. Voice of the Chiefs Mitch Holthus and Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen will lead a short stage program inside the Chiefs Kingdom Experience from 9:30 to 10 a.m. that will include the announcement of the newest Chiefs Hall of Fame inductee by Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt.
