LINCOLN, Neb. - Normally, Nate Rohr’s iconic third down call “roars” through Memorial Stadium on Husker game days, but Rohr is adding a step up, becoming the Public Address announcer for the Kansas City Chiefs.

His first game was this past weekend for the Chiefs home opener and Rohr says it all happened fast.

“It was really special," Rohr said. "Especially where it was a Super Bowl rematch, top game of the day in the NFL, you're talking about FOX's main crew being there. That's a huge deal."

The voice of Nate Rohr resonates with Husker nation every Saturday, but now, it’ll be heard on the NFL stage at Arrowhead. Rohr is now the full-time PA announcer for the Chiefs, while also maintaining his role with the Huskers. Outside of the booth, Rohr serves as the KLIN Radio Sports Director and play-by-play announcer for Husker Softball. Now, he’s dabbling in the pro ranks.

“It’s Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes… We’re talking about the best professional sports organization of the last decade,” Rohr said. “I was fired up.”

The opportunity arose when Dale Carter stepped away from the Chiefs PA role after 16 seasons. Rohr says the Chiefs we’re looking to play up third downs more, and if you know Nate, that makes him the perfect fit.

“With the experience I have doing college football all these years, they knew that i’d be able to handle the game information,” Rohr said. “I would suspect the third down thing, if it wasn’t a determining factor, it was towards the top of the list because it was a little closer to what they were looking for and I could do the other stuff pretty well.”

With a Husker game Saturday and the quick addition to the Chiefs game Sunday, the emotions didn’t hit Rohr until the morning of game day. He says he had a moment of disbelief getting in his car, en route to KC.

“Because I was going down to PA announce the Chiefs in the biggest game of the day, agains the Eagles, a Super Bowl rematch so it started right then,” Rohr said.

While Rohr felt a career high last week, he and his family also had a low. Nate’s Grandpa Bob passed away at the age of 90. Rohr says his grandpa would have loved seeing him behind the mic of an NFL game.

“I think he would have been pretty excited,” Rohr said. “When we went down to see him on Thursday, he stayed asleep while my wife and I were down there talking to my grandmother and parents. I think he would have liked to have heard I was doing it and maybe given him a little smile.”
