Arrowhead Stadium is one of the oldest sports complexes in operation in the NFL, and the lack of a corporate name is surprising given its overwhelming prevalence in the league. For the Kansas City Chiefs, that name could change in the near future.

One report from Thursday saw a potential deal struck between Government Employees Heath Association and the Chiefs, which could rename the arena GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

According to the team, though, no such naming rights deal would go in effect for the 2020 NFL season (via the Chiefs' official Twitter page).

“We've talked openly about the desire to find the correct field naming rights partner for Arrowhead Stadium for a number of years, and while field naming rights have always been an option to explore with GEHA … there has never been, nor will there be, a field naming rights deal in place for the 2020 season.

“We feel that this message was clearly communicated, but unfortunately a misleading and factually incorrect headline has been written.

“Amidst all that is currently happening in our communities, neither the Chiefs nor GEHA are focused on a potential field naming rights deal at this time.”

The NFL season plans to go as scheduled in spite of the spiking COVID-19 cases across the U.S. Training camp is expected to start on July 28, although preseason games will likely be cut in half, if not eliminated all together.

For the Chiefs, Arrowhead Stadium will stand as unnamed by a corporate sponsor at least through 2020.
