Just two days earlier, the Chiefs had opened the NFL season with an emphatic win over the Houston Texans.
The lot is also shared by the Kansas City Royals at the Truman Sports Complex. Both stadiums were empty at the time of the standoff, though the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates were delayed from leaving their hotel due to the standoff.
The Pirates-Royals game was still played Saturday evening, though with a half-hour delay.
