I got asked to apply for a red coater from another local businessman a couple of seasons ago.I politely declined while thinking you gotta be focking kidding me.

I hear using your tongue as a luffa sponge on Carl's ass is a requirement to be a Red Coater.

True?

**007** · 12-12-2006, 12:34 AM

That is ridiculous.

extremely gheyyy

the fans are the ones that are sitting in the crowd freezin their ass off at some hope this team will actually pay back the best fans in the NFL someday

True fans get beer vending badges, park over at Holiday Inn and walk in the game for free.

I may be reading between the lines slightly but somebody please correct me if I'm reading this wrong:

A Red Coater markets the Chiefs by selling season tickets to his/her friends & family thereby reducing the marketing costs of a multi-billion dollar monopoly significantly.

In exchange for marketing the team's product for free, you're required to purchase season tickets and make yourself available to participate in the pre-game entertainment - for free.

As thanks for marketing the Chiefs product and for buying season tickets, you get to wear a red coat around the stadium.

But, don't you screw up or you'll get slapped down. We mean business.

Am I being overly critical?

You nailed it,now you see why I politely declined.

If you're a Red Coater, you're a "made man" in the family.
So says King Carl.

Someday he may call on you for a favor.

**KcMizzou** · 12-12-2006, 02:50 AM

My great grandparents were Red Coaters. They were really proud of it, too. That's kinda where I got my Chiefs fandom from.

I think the idea's become pretty dated, but it used to be a big deal. (To them it was, anyway.)

12-12-2006, 03:32 AM

Did they have to pay for their own season tickets as well?

I guess I could somewhat understand the privelage so long as the people were really gaining something of value for it. Instead they're being taken advantage of. If only Carl could figure out some way to have an entire stadium rennovated by people who really like red coats....

Honestly, I have no idea. I was just a little kid at the time. It'd be interesting to find out though. (My great grandma passed about 8 years go. Pa... many years before that)

I think sports have changed a lot since then. Being a Red Coater was more like being a booster for the local highschool football team. Before free-agency, salary caps and all that.

Oh, no, we still play like a local high school football team.

I'd bet Blue Springs South could burn Wesley deep.
