Arrowhead Stadium is constantly listed as one of the most difficult places to play for opposing NFL teams. And the fans play no small part in that equation.

New Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chris Owens is aware of the challenges playing at Arrowhead presents and he said he is happy to now be a member of the home team.

"“Man, those fans get loud,” said Owens. “I’m happy I’m on the other side of that intensity from the fans. When you’re a visiting team coming in there, you can’t hear much. It’s going to be fun and it’s going to be exciting. I can’t wait to play in that stadium as a member of the Chiefs. I’ve played there twice in two different uniforms, and now as a member of the Chiefs, I’ll be happier to have them on my side, finally.”"

Owens visited with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before deciding on the Chiefs. He mostly played in the slot last season for the Cleveland Browns.
