Despite their AFL championship win and an appearance in the inaugural AFL-NFL championship game (Super Bowl I) the previous year, the Chiefs did not advance to the postseason (AFL championship game). The club’s special teams got a boost with the addition of kicker Jan Stenerud from Montana State and kick returner Noland “Super Gnat” Smith from Tennessee State. The seating capacity at Municipal Stadium was increased from 40,000 to 47,000 due to demand. In June, Jackson County voters approved a $43 million bond issue for construction of a sports complex to be completed by 1972.http://www.kcchiefs.com/history/60s Kansas City Chiefs History 1960's July 30, 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20041018042826/http://www.kcchiefs.com/history/60s/ October 18, 2004 dead mdy-all The Chiefs' first non-playoff game against an NFL team resulted in a commanding 66–24 preseason victory over the Chicago Bears at Municipal Stadium on August 23.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=eFQxAAAAIBAJ&pg=7287%2C5691537 Lawrence Journal-World Kansas Engel Lou Chiefs bombard once-proud Bears, 66-24 August 24, 1967 16https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=J25QAAAAIBAJ&pg=5242%2C1934864 Milwaukee Sentinel Associated Press Chiefs rip Bears 66-24, with 32 point 2nd period August 24, 1967 1, part 2 June 2023 InternetArchiveBot yes Injuries again hit the club hard during the regular season as the Chiefs clawed their way to a 9–5 record, four games behind the division-winning Oakland Raiders (13–1).
