Nashville party bus to participate in Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Kansas City on Wednesday will be the epicenter of the world's largest football celebration when the Chiefs host a Super Bowl LVIII parade. After all, to the victors go the parties.
It's only fitting Music City gets a piece of the action.
Grey Lion Tours, a Nashville-owned luxury transportation company, will provide a bus for the Super Bowl-winning team for the second consecutive year.
On Sunday, the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime.
Owner George Hetzel said the open top, double-decker bus will arrive Tuesday in Kansas City and be wrapped and ready for the 11 a.m. parade the following day. The route, according to KCTV5, starts at 6th Street and heads south before settling in at Union Station.
"There's 17 or 18 double decker, open top buses that are coming from around the country to be in the parade," Hetzel said.
He said last year, the party bus housed the Chiefs defensive lineman, their spouses and families during the parade celebration.
"It was just a great experience for us. And you know, we're just a little company in Nashville," Hetzel said. "We think it's a great opportunity to promote Nashville."
Bus owner to Taylor Swift: 'Nashville people like to stick together'
Being a Nashville-based company, Hetzel said he would love if the party bus transported skill players like tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, mega star Taylor Swift.
"I will remind them that we are the only bus from Nashville and Nashville people like to stick together," Hetzel said.
Hetzel said he hopes the next parade his company participates in will be when the Tennessee Titans win a Super Bowl.
