Sunday’s game Chiefs-Dolphins at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany is technically a home game for Kansas City.

The Chiefs gave up the right to play the game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, and no one really knew which team would have the most fans at the game.

But we learned the answer shortly before kickoff.

Chiefs fans were in full throat during the national anthem as they ended with the “Home of the Chiefs.”

Other fans took note of the strong contingent of Chiefs fans making their presence known during the anthem and before the game. Here is a sample of what fans were saying.

After the Chiefs scored a touchdown on their first drive, there was another sound of home: “Fight For Your Right” by the Beastie Boys was played.

That’s the touchdown song played at Arrowhead.
