Chiefs Early Afternoon Bullshit: Who's planning to attend the playoff game? - Page 3

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-13-2013, 12:35 PM

Granted, nothing is set in stone yet as far as positioning is concerned, but who's thinking of making a trip to see the Wild Card game?

Per cdcox, we're around 96% to end up the 5th seed, and Indy is 88% to finish as the 4th seed. I've already booked a room in both Indy and Cincinnati, just to make sure I'm covered - and to get something booked before prices rise even further.

After doing some research, you can plan on spending a pretty penny in Indy - downtown hotels are obnoxiously expensive - $150 and up for Saturday night. Only way to stay cheap is to stay 6-7 miles away out by the airport and drive in on gameday. Cincinnati is cheaper, but downtown options are pretty limited.

So - who's going?

As a fan of this franchise, when you have a chance to go to a playoff game, you should go - you never know when you'll get that opportunity again.

This. I've been to many playoff games. Never seen one end in a win. Actually maybe I'm the common thread. Maybe I'll sit this one out.

**** that.

These assholes haven't won a playoff game since I was in college. I'm ****ing 41 now.

I'm going to be there when they break the "streak" if at all possible.

It smelled funky. The entire downtown. It didn't smell like city. It smelled like ass.

If on the off chance we get a home playoff game.....I've already got permission from the wife to head over to KC for the game.

"Honey, if KC hosts a playoff game this year, can I go?"

"Whatever."

I'm cursed. Maybe by not going they'll win. I'll take one for the team (NTTAWWT)

I'm headed home to IL for winter break tomorrow until Jan. 7, so if they end up in Indy I'm gonna try and make it over there for the game.

Wow. You came around a long way from earlier this year.

Interesting.....I've worked downtown for 2 1/2 years approximately 100 yards (if that) from the Marriott you are talking about. I've never experienced that smell save for the times I have gotten stuck behind a bus on a hot summer day. Maybe it was something they were cooking at Champ's or Shula's that day.

My wife has given me permission to do one of those Mars colonization voyages.

Just in case you want to hedge your bets and book a room in Foxboro:

1. Indy 88%
2. NE 8%
3. Cinci 3%

I think it is because if Indy plays well enough to escape the 4th seed, Cinci has the tiebreaker over both Indy and NE.
