Born an raised in KC. lived about 5 blocks from the old Municipal Stadium.
went to Chief's & A's games all the time as a kid and the Royals when they came along.

Yep, me too. My Friend owned the game and always used the Raiders for Bo Jackson, I didn't know anything about football so picked the home team and found out that Okoye was awesome. It went from there.

Born and raised in Liberty, MO. Back then Liberty and Wm. Jewell were the summer home of Kansas City Chiefs. My mom was the bar-maid at the local beer joint, The Corner, she knew 'em all. Met Lenny 'The Cool' Dawson sitting on a bar stool there when I was about 7 or 8 and got an autograph that would have been about `63 or `64. Didn't everyone have a pro football team in their home town growing up? Been a life time fan.

My uncle who lived at the Lake of the Ozarks got me started in 1969. We'd go down on the weekends & we'd always end up at his house right before we headed home & he'd have the Chiefs games on the tv. I was nine & thought the world of him so I'd watch the games with him. The first game I remember watching with him was the Chiefs vs Jets game in November where Otis Taylor caught 3 td passes from Lenny Dawson. The next weekend down he had bought a Sports Illustrated for me with the Chiefs on the cover...still have it.

I've been a fan since they were formed in Texas. Living in Alabama and being a sports nut I was looking for a team. IIRC Lamar wanted an NFL franchise for Dallas but the NFL refused, so he and some buddies started the AFL. Naturally, the NFL would not be out done and placed a team in Dallas. I pulled for the underdog Texans and followed them to KC. It only increased my dedication to the Chiefs when we moved to KC in '66 to go to school.

My first trip to KC was to visit the school ... my wife and I traveled on a fall Sunday. It was late in the afternoon ... I remember the sun setting across the fields down South of Springfield ... I found the Chiefs on the radio. I was really pumped to be able to listen....

And the good news is at the end of this year I'll be back there to see all the games.... for what I hope will be a fulfilling season .... that ends with a victory in Feb.

This is basically how I became a Chiefs fan. This clown forced me into it.

I still hate him for that.

Married into it. Father in law worked for Chiefs.
Been going since 1980.

Took my boy at age 5 (1992) Buffalo/Chiefs game.

I GREW UP IN NEW JERSEY. I HAD BEEN A GIANTS Fan UNTIL PARCELLS LEFT. I HAD HAD ENOUGH OF THE NY/PA TEAMS. I SENT IN AN OFFER FOR A FREE FOOTBALL AND THE TEAM CHOICE I PUT DOWN THAT I WANTED WAS "ANY". THE FOOTBALL CAME IN THE MAIL 6-8 WEEKS LATER AND IT WAS A KC CHIEFS FOOTBALL. IT WAS THE COOLEST THING I'D EVER SEEN. IT WAS RIGHT AROUND THE TIME THE CHIEFS GOT "JOE COOL" AND ME AND MY FAMILY HAVE BEEN DIE-HARD KC CHIEFS FANS EVER SINCE. MY WIFE AND I BOTH GOT TATTOO'S SO AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE I'LL LIVE AND DIE A CHIEFS FAN .

The day Ted Popson put on a Chiefs uni. :D


But seriously folks...
When I was a lad, my dad took me to the grocery store and Otis Taylor gave me a signed pic of himself. He was nice, and I've been a fan ever since. Although I did attend a game at the Muni...as a fetus.

Once Marty arrived in 1989 and they selected DT in the First Round, I was hooked.

Attended a punt pass and kick competition as a young lad at Antioch shopping center.

They had a couple of guys there named Dawson and Jon, had watched the Chiefs before but became a huge fan after the first hand experience with live Chiefs.

I have not become one.

it must be a hell when you offend your father...

I bought season tickets 3 years ago. I apparently wasn't a fan until then. I am now. Hooray for me.

What did your FIL do for the Chiefs?
