The Kansas City Chiefs have a perfect record at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and a construction worker named Gerard DeCosta claims that he may have something to do with it. DeCosta, who is a major Chiefs fan, was assigned to work on the construction of the new stadium being built by the Las Vegas Raiders. He decided to bury a “Chiefs Kingdom” flag under the rival team’s home field as a way to plant a curse in enemy territory. A photo of DeCosta with the flag went viral, causing a stir among Raiders fans and officials.
Tommy White, the business manager and secretary treasurer of Laborers Union Local 872 in Las Vegas, tried to reassure Raiders owner Mark Davis that the flag incident was impossible. He then tracked down DeCosta and demanded the offending flag. Although DeCosta produced a flag similar to the one in the photo, he remains secretive about what he actually did with it.
Since Allegiant Stadium opened in 2020, the Raiders have never beaten the Chiefs at home. Some fans believe that there may be a curse at play, similar to curses in Boston and Chicago sports history. For example, the Boston Red Sox experienced the “Curse of the Bambino” when they traded Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920, leading to an 86-year championship drought. The Chicago Cubs had the “Curse of the Billy Goat” after a tavern owner was kicked out of Wrigley Field during a World Series game in 1945, resulting in a 108-year championship drought.
Despite the speculation, Tommy White believes that Allegiant Stadium is curse-free and that the Chiefs’ success is simply due to having a better team. He also mentions that if there are any curses at play in the upcoming Super Bowl, they will likely work against the Chiefs, as they will be using the Raiders’ locker room and field while facing the San Francisco 49ers.
