The Kansas City Chiefs are based in Missouri, so you’d be forgiven for expecting most of their fan base to be centralized in the Show-Me State. Surprisingly enough, the world’s largest collection of Kansas City Chiefs memorabilia is here in Kansas. This privately-owned “Chiefseum” was officially designated as the biggest on the planet by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2022. Curt Herrman, a resident of Manhattan, Kansas, owns more than 1,300 Kansas City Chief-related items dating back decades. His massive collection is a must-see for football fans in Kansas.

Since Kansas doesn't have an NFL team, many professional football fans are left cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs, even though they technically belong to our neighbors in Missouri. As two-time Super Bowl champions, they're not a bad team to root for!
