Nothing awful, yet.

Damn the forecast on weather.com has it 50% or more chance of rain from 2-7pm. Not sure that will be a fun tailgate.

As long as Mrs. Blowfish is feeling up to it, I'll be there.

I'll be tailgating with Guru, Dedicated Fan and those guys. That's my usual jam. I'll be with Sedated and OnTheWarpath. Hopefully my usual scheme of ignoring the parking pointers and just going rogue over to their spot will work as it has in the past. I'm usually in my VW camper van and people just let me roll wherever, throwing the peace sign, etc.
My nissan truck doesn't have that cred.

Wish I could be there with my canopy to add a little shelter.

I can roll without heat if you want to take the bus.

Yep, it wasn't bad at all driving to work this morning. So far-lots of hype-not much ice.

I would be in favor of a retractable roof at Arrowhead for situations like today. I would never be in favor of using it during a game, but it would sure help the fans.

The seats are going to be cold and wet as hell and people will fall. Probably frozen ice everywhere.

This would go a long way towards helping fans enjoy the experience at Arrowhead bc we've seen empty seats in the past due to this.

I've chipped ice off seats there before.

To me a bigger need is going to the turf instead of grass

R Clark 01-14-2017 09:56 AM

Thouht they installed heating system under the field?

Yep, brought an ice scrapper into a game on more than one occasion.

Well they have a tarp up, the used new sod in the middle strip and have the new heating system under neath the field. Worked great vs Oakland and Tennessee.

Think we're fine there. It's just the seats and stairs. It sucks but people are more inclined to watch at home then deal with the annoyance of frozen/slick seats/stairs.
That should be something the Chiefs should make a priority
