Probably Didn’t Like DEI Posted on September 11, 2025 at 07:38:03 PM by Dale The Hater
Today I feel like an enormous weight has been lifted from me. I have informed the Kansas City Chiefs that I am resigning, effective immediately, as Stadium PA Voice of the Chiefs.
I have had an incredible 16+ year run that included 6 AFC Championship games at Arrowhead... a record 5 in a row! I truly enjoyed being the "Audio Propagandist" for the team I love... doing everything I could do (within the rules) to give our guys an advantage!!
So, why leave? Over the last few years, the team has made changes to what I do. Going into the playoffs last year they asked me to make a significant change to how I've called the games (which I tried to do, even though I disagreed with it). Going into this season they wanted a further adjustment that crosses my red line. Frankly, it just hasn't been as fun as it was. It takes a lot of time away from my family, especially around the holidays. This just feels like the right time.
I have tremendous respect for the organization and am thankful I got to do this! My life is incredibly blessed with a loving wife, amazing kids and grandkids. My work life is full too with KFKF, Q104, my podcast, Blue Springs/Blue Springs South High School football broadcasts and, now, a run for Jackson County Legislature. Leaving the Chiefs will give me a little breathing space!
I moved here in 1995, when the "other" Dale Carter was playing for the Chiefs. I went from buying tickets to select games to a season ticket holder to Voice of Arrowhead. I now return to fan status! Replies:
