Arrowhead Parking: Better Pay Attention
They're screwing with how the parking flow is managed this year. It's different, so if you have a favorite tailgating spot (I usually park in lot G or H) better check this out. You could end up waaaaaay far away from where you want to be.

I know everyone hates the fringe lots, but I much prefer that if I don't have a parking pass. I am usually in a rental car. Since I have nothing in it to steal, maybe I'm just missing out on the problems, but I head for the church lot and park around the back side so I'm pointed out toward Blue Ridge and can just drive straight over the sidewalk to the exit. On rare occasions that I know I'm going to park in the lot, I take 31st to Stadium and come in the back way anyway, and it looks like gate 6 and gate 5 for prepaid are still my best bet then.
When I take 70 from downtown if I stay in a hotel, I often pass the Blue Ridge exit too if there is a huge backup, get off at Sterling, then circle back on 40 HWY, end up in the left lane mostly out of the merge mess and get to head straight to the fringe lots with no wait. Hope that protip still works in the new configuration. Good luck to us all! |

Good breakdown of the changes (and price hike) by Arrowhead Pride: http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/6...price-increase
Kansas City Chiefs "Parking Enhancements" include a price hike By Joel Thorman @JoelThorman on Jun 25 2014, 12:55p The Kansas City Chiefs issued a release with the headline "Parking Enhancements Announced". That depends on your viewpoint. Here is the Chiefs press release on their parking changes, which includes routing changes to make parking more efficient as well as a price hike. The good
The bad
The ugly
What's interesting here is that the Chiefs are almost a victim of their own success. They want parking to be smooth and they want fans in their seats early. That's hard to do when you have one of the best tailgating scene in America. I don't know how it would work but it would be cool if the Chiefs could tie parking to winning and losing. On games they win, folks are charged $35 to park. On games they lose, they're charged $25. What would you do? |

Honestly, they should arrange lots in favor of those who want to tailgate and those who go straight into the stadium or crash other's parties.
Good luck figuring out how to do that, though.

Been a Chiefs season ticket holder for a long time. Generally haven't felt that parking was that big of a deal other than being too expensive. But then again I pretty much never go without showing up hours ahead of time to tailgate.

I've been a season ticket holder since 1991 and ponied up for the Gold Lot pass when I had the chance. Never had any problems getting in, tailgaiting, and getting out of there.

To me the problem with the gameday experience is not the parking lot, it's the massive horde of people trying to get through the patdowns and through the turnstiles

That can be remedied by increasing the amount of "security" screeners at the gates.. I've always thought they were a bit light on staffing for that.

Is it still gold or does gold = platinum?

I know there are expenses, but $30 to park my car for a few hours to attend an event I bought a ticket for just seems obscene. |

Think it was like $35 for parking when I went to the Chiefs vs Raider game. And our group didn't even get to park next to each other. But San Diego parking is better cause you can park anywhere you want to. |
