My father had season tickets ever since they've been in KC. I spent many seasons growing up and going to Arrowhead with my toes numb while cupping my hands around a thermos of hot chocolate. There wasn't much to cheer about back then, but it was still the best of times. And then DT came along and everybody starting going to the games- it was exciting. And then they started winning a lot of games and it was just a frenzied place to be.

My family moved to KC when I was 12. Saw my first games that year. It was so intense, and I've been hooked ever since.

Chiefs fan since birth. My dad liked them when they were the texans. When they moved to kansas city that was ever better for my dad who lived in wichita at the time. Gone to the assholedome in houston to watch a preseason game of the chiefs oilers game and meet mike bell and our hall of fame qb Len Dawson

My folks knew a couple of the Chiefs way back. I lived next door to the boarding ranch where they kept warpaint. Ed Budde's kid (Brad) went to school with me, although several years younger..
Plus, they were our hometown team. Been hooked on them for over 40 years....... |

In the late '60's - early '70's, my parents had University of Houston season tickets and they took me to all the games. Well, the Cougars had an All American WR named Elmo Wright who was drafted by the Chiefs. I used to love to watch him "High Step" after he scored a TD (Most football people even give him credit for starting the end zone celebration), so when he was drafted by the Chiefs, I followed and have been a fan ever since.

Grew up in NW Ark, which is basically smack in the middle between Dallas and KC. My dad was a big Dallas fan in the 70's. I don't ever remember a time in my life when football wasn't on Sunday afternoon. He passed the NFL passion on to me at a young age. I always liked the oldschool facemasks the Chiefs used to wear (I think they were the only team that wore those) He passed away in 88, and I didn't watch any games for a couple years. The Chiefs were one of the 2 regional teams, and I wasn't going with the Cowgirls. It was around this time that the Carl/Marty/DT era began. It was a great time to be a Chiefs fan with DT, Neil, Okoye, Word, Carlos Carson, Stephone Page, etc. Also, my high school bud and current planet member Herzig was a big Chiefs fan, too.

At the age of 10 I decided to become a masochist. I went to a fortune teller and asked for her to give me a football team to follow that will not do anything significant for the next 35+ years. The rest is history.
Sorry if this is a repost; didn't read them all. |

Reading through this thread I'm amazed at how, um, illogical most of our stories are. No one set down and said, hey this team is going to be a 5 Super Bowl team, I'm rooting for them. It's been about family, tradition and entertainment. Throw in some civic pride and Joe Montana and you have a wide swath of fans.

Grew up in St. Louis.....I think I was 6 or 7 years old when my little league team got to play at halftime of a governors cup game at old Busch Stadium.
I remember liking the colors and the arrowhead logo, and from that day on rooting for the Chiefs exclusively. But, according to ![]() |
