What's Your KCQ?

This KCQ answer is on the spot: The 6 best Chiefs photo locations in Kansas City

By Savanna Smith

“What’s your KCQ?” put out the call for Chiefs-related questions ahead of the Super Bowl, with the promise to answer some of them on our SportsBeat KC podcast.

But we decided to answer one of them right away so Chiefs fans can display their team spirit on social media ahead of the big game. One reader wanted to know the best photo op locations around Kansas City.

KCQ — a partnership between The Star and the Kansas City Public Library — chose six spots, from Union Station’s display to Mahomes love in the Crossroads.

Here they are. We’ll be looking for the results on Instagram.

1. Union Station | 30 W. Pershing Rd.

The station has featured multiple displays to show Kansas City pride, including Chiefs Kingdom and KC heart Mahomes signs glowing with red and white lights.

2. Liberty Memorial | 2 Memorial Drive

From the top of the World War I Memorial, there’s a breathtaking view of the city — which is currently draped in red in support of the Chiefs.

The view of the skyline looking north from the Liberty Memorial is aglow in Chiefs spirit, with landmarks such as Union Station, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, Bartle Hall, the Downtown Marriott and more lit up in red.
