KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It’s a split-screen night for Kansas City residents.
The Royals will play the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, and the Chiefs will play the New Orleans Saints at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
Jason Kelce also made his usual appearance, kicking off the day by posting on X (formerly Twitter) that he was looking for a “tailgate shaman” to give tips before a Chiefs game.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift was shocked as usual and returned to Kansas City to cheer on Travis Kelce and the Chiefs.

Fans represented the Chiefs and Royals alike. Some people take the idea of ”split” literally.
“My heart is torn,” said superfan Katherine Baskett-Cook. “Today is a very important day for the Royals, so I had to come and represent both teams today.”

She likewise enjoyed the jokes of the Saints.
“When the Saints Go Home is our theme today. We have king cake for Mardi Gras. We also have gumbo with rice. So we’re being kind,” she said. I tried my best today. ”
