The Kansas City Chiefs welcome the Indianapolis Colts to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday at 12:00 pm local time. Fans can catch the Chiefs vs Colts at Johnny’s Tavern for more excitement. It is a noon kick, which Kansas City treats like a morning shift. People load coolers early. The grill smoke floats along I 70. This game sits in that part of the schedule where a strong home win keeps the standings in your control. The building’s sound is the story every time, but the run game and red zone finishing will be the table talk all morning. Fans get there hours ahead to take in drum ceremonies and the long walk through the lots where every other car is a sea of red.
Not every plan starts at the stadium. Many groups meet downtown, fuel up, and then head east. The most reliable launch point is Johnny’s Tavern Power and Light, the downtown spot that becomes a small slice of Chiefs Kingdom on game day.
Johnny’s in Power and Light sets the pregame pace
Johnny’s sits at 1310 Grand Boulevard, right in the Power and Light District. It is a straight shot to Arrowhead, about a 15 to 20 minute drive when you leave ahead of the rush. Inside, it is all game screens, cold beer, and a menu that keeps you steady for a noon start. Chiefs fans love it because it is easy to gather large groups, settle tabs fast, and roll out together. You see red jerseys at every table. People trade views on play action shots and which receiver is due for a breakout. The staff keeps the game talk in the air and the room turns into a loud pregame warmup.
It works for postgame too. When traffic clears, people circle back to downtown, retell third down stops, and keep an eye on late afternoon games. The District carries the noise across the plaza and Johnny’s sits in the middle of it, so the buzz never dies.
“You feel like the whole room is on the same count.” – said a regular.
What to order and how out of town fans fit in
Start simple. Wings, loaded tots, and a pizza for the table. Add a local pint and you are set. Bar staff knows the noon rhythm, which means quick turns so you still make the anthem. Visitors drop in as well. They look for a safe place to eat near hotels and they find Johnny’s screens and game day flow. It is friendly. People talk ball, trade score picks, and still keep it Kansas City first. The Power and Light location makes it easy to keep the day rolling. If you are heading to Arrowhead, finish the last round and ride out as a group. If you are watching in town, stay put. The sound is strong, the screens are clean, and the room turns every big play into a chorus.
