Back in 64 my stepfather the KC Detective would take me to a side entrance for the Police and Security walk me in and I would stand at the top of the lower level stands at Old Municipal and watch the games. Great times.

My parents had season tickets from 1966, I was a "Huddle club" member; that got me tickets at $1.00 per game plus a free drink, a Chiefs penanr and an official Chiefs Huddle Club members card ( wish I still had that).

I was born in KC. Didn't really follow any football until I was in the Military. I chose the Chiefs out of regional loyalty. I'm damn glad I didn't pick the Bears.

I grew up in Louisiana, and since we didn't have professional football there at the time (haha!) I didn't have a true favorite. One day my uncle came to our house to visit for a weekend and he had an autograghed picture, to me (tim) wishing me "luck" from Tony Reid. CHIEFS all the way ever since!

When they were headed to the Super Bowl against Minnesota, the bragging rights were attractive to latch on to since I was in the NAVY. I did not know a first down from a Cornerback at that time, but it was nice to brag about "my Chiefs" to the other guys. I started watching them religously when I could, and following them anyway that I could. I would have never dreamed it would take so long to get back to the SB but I have sure enjoyed watching them.

I started following the Chiefs because of my brother and Joe Montana. My father is a Broncos fan but thank God he didn't brainwash me or my brother. It is also a good thing we don't watch the games together any more.

Aside from lingering questions about whether I'm a bastard, this football game is the greatest mystery of my life. For a long time, I thought it was Super Bowl IV. It was an important game, because I remember my dad's friend really wanted to watch it in color, and my parents NEVER invited anyone over to the house. I also remember that it was a home game (Chiefs in red) and that a wide receiver made a catch and a long run down the right sideline, just like Otis Taylor did in SB IV. However, the dates don't appear to work for it to be SB IV. I know that I lived in Springfield at the time, which means that it would've been when I was in second grade. Working the math, I think that I lived there from about July of 1970 to May of 1971, which is of course too late for the Super Bowl. However, the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs that season, so the game couldn't have been a playoff game. Also, they lost their last two games, and I distinctly remember that the Chiefs won. It's possible that my dad's friend was a bandwagon guy, and maybe there was just some game in the middle of the season that was important, or perhaps it could've been Week 11 or Week 12, when the Chiefs beat the Chargers and the Broncos at home. Neither of those games was a big matchup, though, since both of those teams were pretty weak at the time. I really wish I could figure it out, because that game was a tipping point in my life.

Joe Montana...
The first NFL game I remember watching was the Super Bowl against Dan Marino. During that game, my dad kept saying that Joe was the best qb ever. I believed him, and when they traded him, they also traded me as a fan. |

I guess it was a gradual thing. Obviously, growing up here I had been to a number of games as a youngin' when the Chiefs were terrible.
It really hit hard when i was away in California for 4 years and didn't see chit; except for the playoff loss to the Donkeys in '98 ( I think...maybe '99), and the playoff loss to the Colts at home.

When I started watching football, the Chiefs had a young RB named Eddie Podolak. Eddie was an ex-Hawkeye and returned punts as well as being the feature back. We shouted "Go Eddie Go," at the TV, especially when he ran wild in that heartbreaking loss on Christmas day 1971. When I was in 2nd grade my teacher took me to a dinner where Eddie was speaking and I got his autograph.

I was born In St Joe, MO. All my extended family lived in KC or St Joe. We moved to IA when I was young, so we didn't visit them as often. Whenever we got together for holidays, they all knew each other well from living closer together. The one topic that could break the ice and get me in the conversation was Chiefs football.
I was a very casual fan as a kid. I'd say I was a Chiefs fan, but didn't really follow them closely. When I got older, it was a good reason to go to the bar on Sundays, and I became a much more avid fan.
