GEHA....reallly??? G...E....H...A is the best an NFL team can do.

Gay, huh?

Could be worse. Before it was Gillette the Patriots stadium was briefly CMGI Field. "Cum guy."

Yep. The writing was on the wall last year.

Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't such a shitty name. Sure, it's supposed to be pronounced as the letters, but it won't be. GEHA. Rhymes with yeehaw and heehaw.

Heehaw Field at Arrowhead Stadium. I can ****ing hear it now.

Thanks, Clark.

Outside of the weekly broadcast announcing team, no one will refer to it as anything other than Arrowhead.

Are you sure that revenue for naming rights can be used for signing bonuses/ guaranteed contracts? My guess is that not a dime will go towards facilty upgrades- They just let the taxpayers fund all of that. I think that most/ if not all of this $$$ is going to line Clarks pockets.... I doubt that Lamar would agree to anything remotely close to this.

Seriously? You think taxpayer money is the primary funding vehicle for all operations and facility upgrades? Is this for real?

Can't wait for that 'Andy Reid salary increase' referendum next year in Jackson County.

The NFL has a salary cap. They don't care if you deal drugs to get the money as long as you stay within its confines.

Im fine with them selling it but GEHA is probably the most horribly named company in the world. Makes it easy for opposing fans to poke fun. Might as well be Anal Beads R Us Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

I ****ing hate the name of that company, always have.

I worked for GEHA 20 years ago when I lived in Kansas City. It is a non-profit Health Insurance Company for Federal Employees. Anyone that I worked with is not there anymore. They never did any advertising for the 17 years that I worked there.

I would like to know why they are paying the Chiefs to have the field in their name. Their income is from the monthly fee that comes out of the Federal Employees paychecks. How much are they paying the Chiefs to have the field in their name. It seems that they are just using tax payers money to pay for it. It kind of pointless.

I can see their first commercial now, instead of a gecko they'll have Yosemite Sam chasing Jim Thorpe around the infield and wildly shooting at him and his horse Warpaint!
