Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has consistently made headlines with both his football and relationship stats.
However, most recently, Kelce’s resurfaced tweet about Chipotle has caused a location in Kansas City to change their restaurant’s name ahead of tonight’s Chiefs game.
To make the ordeal even more official, the restaurant even added a new sign to mimic Kelce’s hilarious tweet.

Twelve years ago, on April 27, 2011, Travis Kelce tweeted, “Went from class to therapy, now I need some #chipolte and then I’m off to check out my new apt!!”
However, he misspelled “Chipotle” by switching the t and the l.

The sign is already hanging from the Kansas City location, as the Chiefs will be playing the Philadelphia Eagles tonight at their home stadium, Arrowhead.

Though some fans trolled Kelce for his spelling mistake, others commended him for being relatable for dining at the same place every day people eat at.
Some fans even commented their best Taylor Swift and Chipotle puns like, “Sometimes I feel like Chipotle is a sexy baby.” While another added in some football talk by asking Chipotle to “throw” them a free burrito.
As for tonight’s game, the Chiefs (7-2) and Eagles (8-1) go head-to-head at 8:15 p.m. EST.
