Ya know, I've noticed that. I live in the Southeast corner of Iowa and Chiefs fans are relatively slim-pickens here. However, when I go to Des Moines area for wrestling tournaments or whatever, I constantly see people wearing Chiefs gear and am constantly thrilled because I'm not used to seeing it. I always go out of my way to say "what's up" to them. I'm always like, "whoa, a CHIEFS fan?! I'm a Chiefs fan too!!! Right on!!!" Most of the time they will give me a look like, "umm...yeah....so, what's your point?" When I see Chiefs fans in my area, they are generally as excited as me to run into another Chiefs fan, presumably because we aren't used to it. I have noticed that Des Moines area inhabitants are definitely accustomed to encountering fellow Chiefs fans... I don't care...I'll continue to act like an excited tourist when I see them.
