As a Cleveland Heights native, Kelce, 35, was excited to show his teammates around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just love that city, man. It was so fun. I felt like a tour guide,\u201d Travis shared on the Wednesday, December 18, episode of his and brother <strong>Jason Kelce<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast. \u201cWhen we flew in, I felt like a tour guide, just telling everybody every single city that we were going past, every monument, every building. \u2018Oh, that\u2019s where my mom [<strong>Donna Kelce<\/strong>] worked, right there, the big one, the [Key Tower], the tallest one.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Travis noted that he has \u201csuch a love and appreciation for how we grew up and the fun that we had and all the people that we knew that helped mold me and have the values that I have today.\u201d A lot of those people were at Sunday\u2019s game, with Travis giving a shout-out to \u201cmy friends being there, my friends\u2019 parents being there, my childhood friends\u2019 kids now watching me like I was a little kid watching the Browns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Passing by the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center \u2014 where Travis and Jason, 37, would go on school field trips as kids \u2014 was nostalgic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It brought up] silly memories, like, going to the cafeteria at the Science Center and spitting spitballs at random people and getting in trouble for it as a kid,\u201d Travis quipped. \u201cJust being reckless and getting in trouble with my friends and the memories and all that silly stuff was just, like, going in and out of my mind. And I just, you know, it felt so surreal.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3834929\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/travis-kelce-says-chiefs-game-in-cleveland-felt-like-one-last-hurrah-03.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Travis Kelce Says Chiefs Game in Cleveland Felt Like One Last Hurrah: \" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Travis also hinted that he\u2019s unsure whether Sunday was the last time he\u2019d be able to play in his hometown city again in his NFL career. \u201cIt kind of felt like I was giving it one last hurrah before I\u2019m done because, you know, I\u2019ve only played there twice in 12 years,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo, unless we get thrown on there in the next couple, I don\u2019t really see it ever happening again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cIt was just a special day for me personally, man, so shout-out to everybody from the Heights and everybody from Cleveland that showed up for me and has always supported me in life, not just since I\u2019ve been in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Travis had the support of his Ohio friends and family in the stands at Sunday\u2019s game, his girlfriend, <strong>Taylor Swift<\/strong>, was not in attendance.
