The team plays its home games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, which is also shared with the Kansas City Royals of Major League Baseball (MLB). The Chiefs are also the second-to-last franchise to have appeared in or hosted both a Super Bowl and World Series; the other is their former AFL/NFL rivals and now AFC West division counterparts, the Oakland Raiders. The Chiefs were also one of three NFL teams to have defeated all 32 teams currently in existence at least once (joining their AFC West rivals – past and present – Raiders and Chargers), having done so twice: first when they beat every team from 1967 to 1969 during their first three seasons, and again when they swept through the entire league in 1971.
