I counted 16-18 people in one of the club sections yesterday around the 3rd quarter. I'm assuming there is probably 50 seats in one of those sections.

I guess it must be bad enough being surrounded by those turds 24/7 normally - must be unbearable now. Hopefully somebody will break him sooner rather than later.

If I had that job, I'd suggest that we switch out the fellow seats with red ones.

I think they missed the boat when they redid the stadium there. All teams have this problem, but some are better at hiding it. Metlife Stadium has club level seating in the corners at the field level. It's perfect because you have seats if you want them, but you can also hang out in the bar and watch the game if that's your speed, or they have an outdoor patio where you can stand and watch.

I'd let "real" fans fill those seats but access to those seats is going to be the issue.

Club level seats are the easiest thing to get as long as you can afford it. Last year I had a booth in the "Green Room" and outdoor seats for the Jets/Chiefs game last year. This year we an entire suite for Broncos/Raiders on Thursday night. I was shocked how easy it is to buy club level seats at any stadium for any game.

The Chiefs problem is that their club section is a huge ass ring of yellow seats smack dab in the middle of the TV cameras.

If people just aren't going outside because they're afraid that their money might blow away or that the noise might damage the starch on their suits, then the Chiefs just need to sell separate tickets. It's idiotic to display your stadium as half-empty as ours is all because your wine and cheese crowd wants to stay indoors.

It wouldn't make sense to me, though, if the Chiefs are allowing fans to go into suites. We'd have to be the only team in the league doing that since other teams premium and club levels are packed every game. If fans in NYC and Dallas are paying for a club level ticket and staying out in the seats then I don't see what would make KC fans do it in MASS NUMBERS.

At Metlife the bar was all inclusive which means people want to get their money's worth. Might be a factor in KC too.

The yellow does make a difference, no doubt. However, the upper level was half empty as well. You could see it plain as day.

When I went we had 2 tickets\passes, one for the seats and one for the suite.

We only stayed inside the suite because it was a better view, right on the 50. The suites have counter-tops by the windows where you can sit and watch the game.

I paid $800 for 3 tickets my first year as a season ticket holder. My last year we paid $3,300 for those 3 tickets. The final tickets were $10 above the price per game where we orginally sat. They os way above the rate of inflation. The average family looks at $3k and says we can go on a good vacation for that. We can remodel the kitchen, put money towards a vacation home whatever.

Club level seating is not tied to the suites. You may have suites that include club level seats, but its not like everyone with a club level seat has access to a suite.

What club level seats do have is 100% indoor concourse, carpeted, with leather furniture, fireplaces, bars, etc. And that concourse is where all the douchebags that buy club level seating hang out. It's like a busy nightclub. Football is secondary to the scene.

Funny considering Ive seen signs around town that say "every decibel counts", considering the front office greed has literally made it impossible for the stadium to maintain the previous sound level.

I don't think eleventy billion decibels would've been enough to help the Chiefs D get a stop yesterday. I also don't think crowd noise has that much effect in today's NFL anyway.

We have more people in the Club Level than the Raiders have at their game tonight at least.

My uncle had 4 seats front row, club level in the end zone from the early 80s until the renovation. I saw so many great games there. When they told him they were going to jack up his rates 4x, he said see ya. And he's pretty well off. ****ing greedy assholes.

Strongside 09-10-2012 08:15 PM

Here's an idea: Sell the seats to people that actually want to be at the game. Sell the 'hallway nightclub bar' passes to the douches in the suites. I swear, the next time I'm in club level I'm going to walk out into the concourse and call all of those guys douchey rich one who sucks the peniss.

Look, I make a pretty good living for myself...but I don't go to Chiefs games to rub shoulders with the high society...I go to watch the game and cheer for the team I love. If you're not going to watch the game, then why not just go to the country club and take advantage of the TV's you bastards...it's the same thing.
