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
A packed Arrowhead crowd cheering together can reach ear-damaging levels, especially during a long drive or a game-winning score.
Fireworks & Pyrotechnics
Pre-game and touchdown 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 find the end zone is one of the most intense sounds in football — and it can happen multiple times in a 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
Halftime performances are produced at concert-level volumes — which can exceed safe thresholds for babies and toddlers.

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 GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The key is being prepared — hearing protection, comfortable Chiefs gear, and a flexible plan for taking breaks or leaving early if needed can help make game day 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 Gold Baby BANZ® and make them their own — parents have used stickers, fabric markers, and paint to add team flair. See the colour matches above.
Can I bring BANZ® earmuffs into Arrowhead Stadium?
Yes — hearing protection devices for children are permitted at NFL stadiums. BANZ® earmuffs are compact, lightweight, and fit easily in a diaper bag or game-day bag. Check the Kansas City Chiefs' official stadium and bag policies for any updated 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.
