Fantastic stadium, reeruned fans....KC/AZ Trip report w/pics

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12:48 PM

Well worth the trip.....

I haven't watched my TIVO of the game, so I'm not gonna comment much on it....the majority, if not all of the action occured at the other end, witht he exception of Rackers miss.

The Stadium:

WOW......Great building. Very wide concourses, plenty of bathrooms, concessions. Was nice to be near the huge video board considering all the action happened at the other end of the field. Was pretty cool to see a game in a dome, on real grass, while enjoying 72 degree temps....

The Fans:

If Arrowhead is the "Sea of Red", then the U of P should be nicknamed the "Sea of NFL Shop"

A complete list of the teams represented by so-called fans:

Arizona, KC, Dallas, Philly, NY Giants, Redskins, Patriots, Broncos, Chargers, Packers, Bears, Saints, Bucs, Steelers, Rams and Colts.

Half the league.....some homefield advantage.

Ironically, I didn't see a single hispanic wearing a Raiders jersey.....

They didn't get loud until 3rd down. They didn't get REALLY loud until late in the game. They made noise when THEY had the ball. The Cards fans around us were rooting for them to lose......

The guy directly in front of us owns 6 seats.....a Steeler fan who bought the tix to make money and watch the opposition every week.

There was no razzing, at least nothing in english. Pretty pathetic.

Pics to follow. Hope those of you in attendance had a great time and got home safe......

I've heard that Phoenix and the surrounding area is just full of transplants.

**Lzen** · 10-09-2006, 12:46 PM

Cool pics. That is one impressive looking stadium.

IMHO, it looks like the georgia dome with one endzone of seats missing.

The outside looks like Extreme Makeover "UFO Edition", and will look dated in very few years.

The retractable roof is cool, I guess. I don't understand why they would want the hassles of grass when most players seem to prefer fieldturf anyway.

A native told our tailgating group that the design was to look like a barrel cactus.

I guess barrel cacti (sp?) and UFO's look similar.....

JHC, I can't spell today......

Man, how did you find room to tailgate? Looked like the parking lot was PACKED!!

Halfcan · 10-09-2006, 01:08 PM

And it stayed that way until 40 minutes to kickoff.

Didn't see a single charcoal BBQ pit. Probably a good thing, there were also no containers to dispose of coals.

Tailgating to these people means picking up some Tex-Mex on the way to the game and eating in the car......

When I get home I'll post some of my pics.

I even had a "Crabman" (My Name is Earl) sighting.
