I’ve got a couple of buddies that went to Super Bowls for their respective teams. Both said that it was worth it, but that the SB is a really corporate event. One friend described it as being similar to the Kentucky Derby: lots of people there who know nothing about racing but have enough money they want to see and be seen. But both said that they were glad they went to the game.
After Sunday’s victory, I figured that the championship game would be more about fans and less about corporate visibility, and I got tickets for my son and me. I figured it would be cheaper and it is at Arrowhead. So, we are coming down from Alaska and are going to be in Arrowhead to root on the Chiefs. I just have a feeling about this year. Now, I could be wrong, but this just feels like their year in a way the last few have not. And I want to root on the Chiefs to the SB.
So I have a few questions:
1. What’s the best way to deal with parking? Buy a pass before getting to the game? Getting a life through a z-ticket operator? Last game I got a town car, which wasn’t an issue because there were about 6 people and we all split the cost. No DUI. No navigating, etc. But this is just my son and me. I’m leaning to just getting a pass and dealing with the traffic.
2. How early should I get there? I’m staying down in JoCo (I lived near JCCC when I lived in KC) and I’m figuring on leaving about 10:30. I figure that puts me near the gate about 11:30 and close to inside about noon. Am i way off? Earlier? Later? Any advice on times? I’d like to check out some of the exhibits and see the stadium a bit before the game and make sure I’m there a couple of hours before the game.
3. Anybody going to be on club level? I’m in §217. I like a little elevation so I can see (probably comes from watching a lot of hockey games) and this is a corner section, but doesn’t rape me on prices. Plus there’s a lounge right there so if view is too bad, I can see the game on monitors.
4. I’m not worried about weather. My cold weather gear isn’t chiefs gear, but will keep me warm. So far it looks like temps in the 20s. That is warmer than where I’ve been so I should be good.
And Go Chiefs!
