Modern times are good because you can get the Chiefs almost anywhere. From 1986 to about 1995 I missed lots of Chiefs games because I lived in areas that didn't show them regularly. It was sheer hell.
Since then I've hardly ever missed a game. I've planned trips around games to ensure that I'm in a hotel by the time it starts. I've moved around schedules and all sorts of things.
That said, there have been a couple of times it was unavoidable. The Bengals game where Trent got hurt by the cheap-shot Geathers guy was one where I only saw the first quarter because I was in an airport, and there was another game that same season that I missed completely because I was on an airplane. In roughly 2002 I had to miss a game simply due to a desperate work deadline, and that really hurt, and once in the late 90s some stupid friend held their wedding directly opposite a Chiefs-Raiders game. I don't talk to them any more.
