Does anyone have any idea or real expectations of about how many people might wear black? I guess it's impossible to tell not knowing how much effect the banner and coverage will have but... anyone know how much apparel has sold?

Thanks. Hopefully the banner and subsequent media coverage has inspired a lot of people.

So black shirts will be outnumbered by empty red seat by about 20 to 1. Great.

because people don't have black gear of their own to wear? the point wasn't to sell OUR shirts to fill the stadium. that was just an added option

The key is to move down to the field level if possible. Get as many black shirts down low for every play. Also behind the goalposts.

Also, if you guys started a "Save...Our....Chiefs" chant during our first offensive drive, that might be effective.

Finally, if people who are walking the parking lot have garbage bags to hand out to people who might not have heard or might not know, you might be able to convince people to just wear the bags over their jerseys.

Either way, I'm rooting for you guys!

No because I was responding to J Diddy's estimation of total people wearing black and figuring about 20k no shows is likely. No one knows yet if J Diddy is right.

Ah yes I did... my bad. Just clicked the wrong post. I hope the 50k who go are all in black.

I really hope I'm watching on TV and the entire stadium is black...kind of like the Millen Man March (kind of a flop), I hope this goes better. It would truly make my day for once while watching from the bar.

I won't be at the game but I'm going to be wearing black and will have my wife do so as well.
