Chiefs Question for those who have been to OAKLAND before... - Page 10

Hootie · 09-07-2010, 07:32 PM

I am attending the game on 11/07 in Oakland...

I'm looking to buy two tickets for the game...I don't want to spend a ton of money...I am concerned about the quality of the ticket, but I'm not OVERLY concerned (as long as I can see the game)...

What section should I be looking for? Obviously I'm not going to be sitting in the Black Hole...as I don't want me, or my girlfriend...stabbed.

So any advice?

I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, and I don't want to get stabbed.

Other than that...as long as I'm not behind some concrete pole...I'm not too picky.

Its not that bad man. I live near oakland , and have been to more Chiefs games in Oakland than any other place...If youre really worried about it just do not wear red....If you go aroudn the tail-gates and parking lot, you will find they are really great fans just like anywhere else.....If you wear red, they can be a little hostile...but if you are cool and talk to people and keep an opemn mind it is one of the best tail-gate places I have experienced.

Except for a possible bucket-o-piss on the car thing. I did get a photo of the guy:

And this Chiefs fan sometimes shows up to entertain tailgaters at Qualcom & Oakland:

I think you'll be hard pressed to find someone that doesn't think Oakland is a complete sink hole.

I've gone to many games with friends and co-workers that are

s on the condition that I wore neutral colors because they didn't want to defend me the entire time and get beer thrown on them. I never got physically hassled. Now verbally, that's another story but it wasn't anything really bad. Most people just liked to give me crap for being a Chiefs fan as I openly cheered my team.

One of the funniest stories happened during the 1997 game when Grbac hit Rison for the game winning TD on MFN. The stadium was going nuts and then fell deathly silent, except for me jumping up and cheering. I slowly turned around and saw the most ugly looking faces staring back at me.

I may go to that game. The couple

friends I have been so sick of the Raiders losing that they don't bother to go anymore.

Tickets sold by fans have been pretty cheap, but if they start winning, the price will go up so the sooner you buy the better. Don't sit on the Mt. Davis side, the temp stands unless you get lower level

I'd stay in SF and take BART over. If you can't swing that, stay in Emeryville. PM me if you have any questions.

McCluster breaks a 50 yarder off the left tackle... Why the hell pay for a ticket if you're going to react to that with a golf clap?

Wear red. Make the lady wear red. Thicken your skin accordingly, and love your team.

LIKE THE GOOD LORD INTENDED

Because you don't want to get beer and food thrown on you unless you are cheap and want to save money. You have to understand the mentality of some of these fools. They see it as a gang member protecting their turf. You walk in wearing colors and they look at as their duty to **** with you. I've been there and have seen Chiefs fans catch hell for it. Why bother? I'm there to watch a game not play Snake Pliskin.

And I'll walk out of the stadium with all four limbs, nothing broken, not even a scratch.

You guys act like it's the spanking machine.

That a boy! On a side note, let us know if the beer and spit combination, are underrated as aftershave.

Besides the fact that the Oakland Coliseum is a shit hole, you won't be able to enjoy the game because their fans are ****ing insane pricks.

And Oakland is a ****ing dump.

Go to SD if you're going to cali.

Take a gun...

Just sayin

**The Franchise** · 09-08-2010, 10:12 AM

I went two years ago with my parents and my brother and his wife. We didn't wear anything Chiefs related because we didn't know how the reaction was going to be. I saw Chiefs fans that wore jerseys.....and they got razzed....but nothing happened to them. There was one guy in a Chiefs jersey though that kept talking trash.....and he ended up getting escorted out of the game because he was way too drunk.

Come to think of it.....there were two Chiefs fans in the Black Hole that day.

**Saulbadguy** · 09-08-2010, 10:23 AM

After watching the videos Buck posted, i've seen worst treatment of opposing teams fans at Arrowhead Stadium.

ToxSocks · 09-08-2010, 11:30 AM

Just go watch the game at SD. Better city, better people, better stadium, better team and hotter chicks.

It's just better.

I've never been to Philly but, from everything I've heard and read, that city is turning into a bigger sports shithole than New York, even.

Barely. Qualcomm is known as one of the worst maintained stadiums in the NFL. But, I have no doubt that it is better than the Colosseum.
