Chiefs Help me plan first Arrowhead visit

Naptown Chief · 06-09-2018, 09:02 PM

Ok, as the title suggests, I'm looking for some help. I'm 34 and I've been a lifelong Chiefs fan (dad was born in STL) but have yet to see them play at Arrowhead. I went to several games in San Diego, as that's my hometown. I've "been to" KC once when I was 17 and that was just passing through in a uhaul with my father on our way to Maryland. I know nothing of the city, where to stay, where to eat, what to do, etc.

I'm shooting for the 10/7 game against Jacksonville for two reasons.. 1- the 8th is my birthday and 2- when news broke that the Chargers were bailing on SD my brother became a Jags fan. To his defense, they weren't that good prior to swapping loyalties. It worked out perfectly that this would be the weekend they played each other. I think we're going to fly in on Thursday 10/4 and leave Sunday evening.

As far as getting around goes, I'm kinda disabled. Some piece of shit didn't nail in one side of a stud in an attic and I was fortunate enough to be the one that figured it out. I had hip surgery last October and I'm still fighting worker's comp for an L5-S1 fusion and to repair my herniated, torn, and cracked T3-4. I also ****ed up both knees in the fall, though that's just unexplained, and undiminished, swelling/fluid buildup. That said, we want to experience real BBQ (east coast sucks) and do some touristy shit around town. Thank you!
