Chiefs So is the Arrowhead Magic Back? - Page 2

**grandllama** · 10-24-2010, 02:33 PM

Didn't seem as rowdy on TV as the SF game... and the club level was still embarrassingly empty.

BUT, we did get a few false starts and the Todd just gave the fans props in his post gamer

and we are 3-0 at home this year.

Club level is just too expensive because of the fact you have to buy season tix and you have to sign a 3 year contract. I'm sure they'd sell quite a few of them if they'd sell single game tickets, but they won't. Pretty stupid if you ask me, but I'm no ticket sales manager.

It was indeed pretty tame (or maybe a little lame) today. What's interesting about that is I saw an awful lot of new faces in our section today (119, 50 yd line) that weren't exactly into the game like that. Seems like today was a day where lots of the regular crowd handed out their tix to others. Could have just been that section, but maybe that trend was through-out.

Hopefully being 4-2 coming off a good game and playing on Halloween will bring the crazy crowd back.

Winning brings the magic back. Hopefully the do a little better against Buffalo than the Ravens did, although a win is a win is a win.

Simply Red · 10-26-2010, 05:13 AM

It's a good question if you think about it, What if we blow out our next opponent? then what? Will teams fear going there again? I sure hope 'the magic' is back.

Hard to say.

Winning has brought people back to the seats.

I've noticed a lot of these people don't know to make noise when the D is on the field, don't know NOT to make noise when the offense is on the field, and have been a much more tame and less fired up bunch.

A decade has gone by. A whole generation of people who only know the suck and mediocre at best Chiefs.

The crowd is back but it's not the same crowd...

I thought the stadium looked full, except for club level.
I asked a guy sitting by me why club level was so empty and he said they're all in the new bars. Apparently there are 3 huge lounges on the club level that were part of the renovation.

probably milf-hunting, I can hardly blame them.

Better than the last few years, but not as good as it once was.

I was proud of the way that everyone booed and kept booing that dumb**** referee for like 15 minutes straight after he ****ed us AGAIN on the PI calls.

I sat in club this weekend. The concourse is freaking awesome. The fans in that level are a bunch of incredible douchebags.

$265 tickets killed Arrowhead magic. That area will never consistently have fanatical fans.

Why even go the freaking game if you're just going to sit in a bar? That doesn't make any damn sense at all.

This

Arrowhead was a lot of fun this past weekend, but it's never going to be the same on a week-to-week basis like it was in the 90's (especially early to mid 90's). Ticket prices were still somewhat reasonable back then, and the real fanatical fan was able to afford the experience. Now, not so much. It's too bad, but that's just the reality of modern day Professional Sports.

donkhater · 10-26-2010, 08:05 AM

If I had to guess, people can't really afford the whole season package and look to dump tickets to less desirable matchups as a way to offset cost. Maybe the people they sell them to aren't big fans. My guess is that the division games will still be well attended and rowdy.

Go to a Royals Game, and it's the same thing. They are all doing something else in the Stadium, other than watching the game. It's really a strange experience.

I can remember my Dad taking me to Arrowhead for the opening game when it first opened up in 1972 (against the STL Cardinals). I asked my Dad if I could walk around the Stadium with a friend of mine - just to check it out. His comment was, "why the hell do you want to walk around when all the action is on the field." He was right then, and he's still right. Unfortunately, most "fans" want to be entertained by just about everything, but the game. It's pretty sad, imo - especially when the team is actually damn good.

It seemed to me the seats started emptying up midway through the 4th qtr.
To me that just seems wrong unless your getting Denver'd. But I'm the person that won't leave a concert until the lights come up. And when I go snow skiing I am there when the lifts open and I won't leave until they won't take me up anymore, no matter how bad the muscles in my legs are burning.

If I spend all that money for entertainment I want to get back every second of it I paid for.

ChiefaRoo · 10-26-2010, 09:11 AM

I remember when we all peed in long troughs, and WE LIKED IT THAT WAY!!!!

Now u got the fancy HD tv's and walk around bars.....

Speaking of Arrowhead Magic, I'll be down this weekend for the game. I'd like to check out the Hall of Honor or whatever. SHould I do that before the game, or after, in the opinion of the awesome posters here on CP?
