Kansas City Chiefs
Overall Ranking
Overview
The Kansas City Chiefs rank 26th this season but have made significant strides in multiple areas. They improved their family offerings by introducing stadium daycare for day games, resulting in a notable boost in their grade. This offseason, the team invested in a new full-time dietician who was previously with the New York Jets. This led to an improved food program grade and a dramatic increase in their nutritionist/dietitian score from an F last year to an A- this year.
Players continue to express the need for renovation and upgrades to the locker room, which has been their top request complaint in prior surveys. Players also want a new home game hotel since the one the team currently uses ranks the lowest in the league.
