Below is an approximate analysis of that map’s shading and the 100-mile radius around 39°06′09.2″N 94°35′01.8″W (near Arrowhead Stadium):

1. Identify the “Chiefs” Counties
   On the Vivid Seats map, all counties shaded rgb(227, 24, 55) represent the most popular Kansas City Chiefs counties. From that map, the Chiefs territory covers a large portion of western and central Missouri (though not necessarily all of it), a large swath of eastern and central Kansas, and potentially overlaps parts of Iowa and Nebraska.

2. Draw a 100-Mile Radius Circle
   The center coordinate, 39°06′09.2″N 94°35′01.8″W, is located in Kansas City, MO—very close to Arrowhead Stadium. A 100-mile radius from that point would encompass the Kansas City metropolitan area and extend roughly:

   • Eastward past Columbia’s outskirts (but not all the way to St. Louis).
   • Westward beyond Topeka, KS.
   • Northward approaching (or slightly past) the Iowa border in some directions.
   • Southward toward the edge of the Ozarks region.

3. Counties Within and Outside
   Because this is a broad estimate using the color-coded map and not official data, we can approximate how many counties within that circle are primarily Chiefs-fan counties vs. how many outside that circle are still shaded Chiefs colors.

4. Approximate Results
   From visually inspecting the shape of those “Chiefs” shaded areas, a significant portion of them lies beyond 100 miles from central Kansas City (portions of western Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, etc.). Thus, it appears that a large fraction of the “Chiefs” counties—well over half—lies outside of that 100-mile radius ring.

   A rough approximate is that perhaps 35–45% of the “Chiefs” counties lie within the circle and 55–65% fall outside. Based on an estimation of how the coloring extends into multiple states, around 60% is a reasonable approximation for the share of those rgb(227, 24, 55) counties outside of a 100-mile radius.

Hence, the best approximate figure is about 60% outside the 100-mile radius. Any more precise calculation would require overlaying GIS data with county boundaries, but visually from that map, roughly three-fifths appear to lie outside the immediate 100-mile ring from Arrowhead.
