Why It Matters
Arrowhead Stadium is One of the Loudest in the NFL
The crowd, music, fireworks, and PA system combine to create sound levels that can be unsafe for babies and young children — without them even realizing it.
🔊 140dB
Peak noise levels recorded at NFL stadiums during touchdowns
👶 75dB
Safe noise threshold for babies — most stadiums far exceed this
🎧 NRR 26
BANZ noise reduction rating — tested & certified
🕐 3hrs
Average NFL game length — that's a long time for unprotected little ears
Game Day Hazards
Why Babies Need Hearing Protection at Chiefs Games
The electric atmosphere that makes Arrowhead Stadium legendary can be overwhelming for infant ears. Here's what little ones are exposed to:
📣
Crowd Roar
74,000 fans cheering together at Arrowhead can reach ear-damaging levels, especially during big plays and touchdowns.
🎆
Fireworks & Pyrotechnics
Pre-game and halftime fireworks produce sudden, sharp blasts that can startle and potentially harm developing infant ears.
🔈
Stadium PA & Music
Stadium speaker systems are engineered for maximum volume impact. Sustained exposure at these levels is not safe for young children.
🎉
Touchdown Celebrations
That collective roar when the Chiefs score is one of the most intense sounds in sports — and it happens multiple times per game.
🚗
Tailgating
The parking lot party starts hours before kickoff. Music, generators, and large crowds create sustained noise exposure even before the game.
📢
Halftime Shows
Live performances are produced at concert-level volumes — which can exceed safe thresholds for babies and toddlers.

We brought our 8-month-old to his first Chiefs game and these earmuffs were a lifesaver. He slept through half of it! Arrowhead is SO loud — I can't imagine going without them now.

My daughter wore her gold BANZ to the playoff game and everyone was asking where we got them. She looked adorable and was totally comfortable the whole time.

Pediatrician recommended we get hearing protection before our son's first game. Went with Baby BANZ — perfect choice and he barely noticed he was wearing them.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents ask before bringing their baby to a Chiefs game for the first time.
Can babies attend Kansas City Chiefs games?
Yes! Many Chiefs fans bring babies and young children to Arrowhead Stadium. Children under a certain age often receive free admission (check the Chiefs' official website for current policy). The key is being prepared — hearing protection, comfortable clothing, and a flexible plan for leaving early if needed make it enjoyable for the whole family.
How loud is Arrowhead Stadium?
Arrowhead has held Guinness World Records for loudest outdoor stadium. During peak moments — touchdowns, big defensive stops, crowd chants — noise levels can exceed 130dB. Sound levels above 75dB can be harmful with prolonged exposure, and the safe threshold for babies is even lower. Hearing protection is strongly recommended for any child under 10 attending NFL games.
What age can wear Baby BANZ earmuffs?
Baby BANZ are designed for infants from birth through approximately 2 years. Kidz BANZ are designed for children aged approximately 2–10 years. Both provide NRR 26dB noise reduction. Baby BANZ fit smaller heads; Kidz BANZ accommodate more growth.
Will my baby keep the earmuffs on during the game?
Most parents are pleasantly surprised — babies often settle quickly once the earmuffs are on because the noise reduction is immediately soothing. Many babies fall asleep wearing them. We recommend putting them on before entering the stadium so your baby adjusts before the noise starts.
What's the difference between Baby BANZ and Kidz BANZ?
Baby BANZ (ages 0–2): Extra-soft, flexible headband that fits newborns. Kidz BANZ (ages 2–10): Padded headband, sturdier construction for active toddlers and kids. Both offer identical NRR 26dB noise reduction. If your child is around 2 years old, either may fit.
Are there Chiefs-colored BANZ earmuffs?
We don't currently make red earmuffs, but many Chiefs fans choose our Black or White Baby BANZ and make them their own — parents have used stickers, fabric markers, and paint to add team flair. White BANZ are especially popular at games because some families have turned them into autograph canvases, collecting signatures from their favorite players. See our color matches section above.
Can I bring BANZ earmuffs into Arrowhead Stadium?
Yes — hearing protection devices for children are permitted in NFL stadiums. BANZ earmuffs are compact, lightweight, and fit easily in a diaper bag. Check the Chiefs' official bag policy for any updated stadium entry requirements before your visit.
Do pediatricians recommend hearing protection at sports events?
Yes. The American Academy of Pediatrics and audiologists widely recommend protecting children's hearing in loud environments, including concerts, sports events, and fireworks. Children's ears are more sensitive than adults' and noise-induced hearing damage is cumulative and permanent. BANZ earmuffs are trusted by over 2 million families worldwide.
⚠️ Important: BANZ earmuffs are hearing protection devices, not medical devices. Always consult your pediatrician if you have specific concerns about your child's hearing health.
