Chiefs Question for those who have been to OAKLAND before... - Page 11

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.

It's just better.

ok well...

for the 9th time

I am going to be near the Bay Area when the Chiefs play the Raiders, not the Chargers...

and I'd rather see the Chiefs play than the Chargers...assuming the Chargers are at home that weekend.

I posted above.....but I'll post again.

If you don't mind being razzed and getting attention from Raider fans.....then go in Chiefs stuff. If you don't want to worry about it.....then go neutral.

I went neutral 2 years ago and everything was fine. There were Chiefs fans there that were getting shit but I didn't see anyone getting assaulted and I didn't see any fights.

I figured as much...

If it was me and some guy friends, for sure...

but it will be me and my girlfriend so I think I'll just go neutral and try and keep the cheering to classy...

You shouldn't have any problems. The only place to watch out for yourself....is in the parking lot after the game. It can get pretty rowdy out there.....especially after they lose.

Don't wear Chiefs colors, they will throw beer and other objects at you and don't go to the bathroom, they will beat the crap of out of you.

Right now I'm just trying to get seats that don't make me look like a dipshit...

The seats won't make you look like a dipshit...good news.

Don't get seats too low for two reasons...all of the apes in that place that dress up like skull people or zombies, or whatever, all sit down low and try to get camera time. The other reason is that the pitch is really shitty with seats that are even 20+ rows back in the lower section. A lot of the game is obscured by the backs of the Raiders players there.

I'd probably want lower part of the upper deck.

I've been there for three games over the years...all Chiefs games. I wear basic black and I keep my mouth shut. They beat the shit out of people wearing the opponent's jersey...I've seen it happen in person. If a person is dumb enough to do that, you deserve to lose a few teeth.

Oakland is easily the worst place to see an NFL game. The parking is horrific, the trash cans in the parking lots are on fire, the stadium smells like garlic fries from ten years ago, fans drop f-bombs in there with no concern as to who might be around them, and the drunk bastards throw beer bottles at each other in the parking lot after games.

If you really want to impress your girlfriend, take her to go see Wicked in SF. The sex will be much better afterwards and neither one of you will be injured.

I've been to several NFL and MLB stadiums across the country, from New York to KC to Denver to Northern and Southern Cal (oh yeah, South Florida as well).

I've never been in a stadium that was half as ****ing shitty as the Oakland Coliseum. It's a ****ing shit hole. Shawnee Mission South stadium in the 80's was a far better venue than Oakland Coliseum.

I cannot impress upon anyone here the grade school quality of that hell hole.

**buddha** · 09-08-2010, 02:52 PM

Dane...I couldn't agree with you more. You almost can't believe what a freaking pit it is until you see it in person.

i have been to a raiders/chiefs game in Oakland We were in section 334. I was with a group of 4 raiders fans and then there was me the only chiefs fan. (I wore a sweater over a read chiefs shirt) since it was a bit breezy in the morning. Once I took off the sweeter and started cheering for the Chiefs, I did get some dirty looks but with the group of people that were around us gave me some dirty looks but when i explained to them that I was from KC and lived 15 minutes away from the stadium, it was like i was watching a game with a group of friends but they just liked the other team. http://www.footballdb.com/boxscore/2001120913. We were staying in S.F. and let me tell you it was a long drive back to the house we were staying at since we lost.

My cousin is in that video. He lives out in Hollywood, and he was telling me about the big guy with the KC tat on his gut.

I have gone wearing colors and not wearing colors. I don't wear colors there anymore. I may be there but I won't make a decision until the final week as there are always plenty of quality seats available on Craigslist. What I have found to be the most entertaining thing to do is going as the most obnoxious Raiders fan. I went with another member of this board MOJO and showed him how much fun it was and he went bezerk, it was awesome. Some great lines were screaming "GOD I HATE LOSING TO THESE GUYS!!!" and "BRING BACK GANNON THIS GUY SUCKS. GANNON, GANNON, GANNON!!!!" and " NOT THE CHIEFS AGAIN, PLEASE GOD ANYONE BUT THE CHIEFS!!!!!!"

It was a great time and watching all the Raiders fans cringe throughout the entire game was the icing on the cake.

This seems sacrilegious and clever and hilarious and wonderful all at the same time.

Only if the Chiefs kill though...
