The Chiefs started off as the Dallas Texans, owned by Lamar Hunt. In 1963 Hunt decided there wasn't enough of a market for two teams in Dallas and looked for another place, eventually ending up in Kansas City.
The mayor of K.C., Mr. Bartle (who's nickname was Chief), made a deal too good to refuse. He guaranteed to triple the number of season ticket holders he had in Dallas, and promised to add 3000 permanent seats and 11,000 temporary seats to Municipal Stadium.
On May 22nd, Hunt announced he was moving the franchise to Kansas City. Hunt and Stram initially planned on calling the relocated team the Kansas City Texans, but thanks to the insistence of Steadman, the team was officially christened the Chiefs on May 26th, in part to honor the efforts of Bartle. During their inaugural season in Kansas City, the Chiefs charged $7 for box seats and $6 for reserved seats at Municipal Stadium.
