RM Chiefs Superfan Arrested After Allegedly Attempting to Confront Coach Andy Reid at Training Facility
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Nov. 12, 2025) — A Kansas City man was taken into custody early Tuesday after allegedly breaking into the Chiefs’ training complex, reportedly hoping to meet head coach Andy Reid to “share new strategy ideas” ahead of the team’s next game.
According to the Kansas City Police Department, security officers spotted the suspect climbing over the perimeter fence just before sunrise. When questioned, the man identified himself as a “lifelong Chiefs fan” and said he only wanted to “talk football with Coach Reid.”
“No one was hurt, and our security team handled the situation swiftly,” said a KCPD spokesperson. “The individual was arrested without further incident.”

In a now-deleted online post, he once wrote: “If I could just meet Andy Reid, I could show him how to make Mahomes unstoppable in short-yardage situations.”
One player reacted with disbelief:
“I can’t believe someone actually thought they could teach Andy Reid how to run a play.”

Following practice, quarterback Patrick Mahomes briefly addressed the incident:
“Don’t come after my coach. Don’t come after my team. We’re a family — and Coach Reid deserves nothing but respect.”
Tight end Travis Kelce also commented on X (formerly Twitter):

Chiefs Increase Security for Week 11
The Chiefs later released a statement confirming that security protocols around the facility have been tightened ahead of Week 11.
