Eh, it's been colder on many occasions. Today wasn't even in the top ten.

You've already lost the $100. Why piss away 5 hours, too?

You're right - I didn't think about that. And somehow I doubt if any of the stadium shops did any record business today, either.

On a personal note, another thing that was different about my trip to Kansas City last week - for the first time, I didn't buy ANY Chiefs merchandise. Didn't even bother to stop by Sports Nutz (bought nothing but Mizzou stuff, and I did that at the official MU store in the Columbia Mall).

Don't bother with the holes. Nothing worth seeing.

$100.00??? Try $164.00....but I agree with your statement, and that is why I sold my tix. I enjoyed the day with my family and about 15 abused minutes watching the game on TV.

That was 97 and it was Grbac. ;)

I know I did something stupid today, my season tickets are in the upper deck - well we were blocked from the wind and sun was on us. But we saw all the empty seats below so we moved down to lower level and froze my a$$ off. It was 10 to 15 degrees cooler down there.

Yes it was Grbac...my mistake...but are you sure it was 97?

I was lucky enough to be 3 - 0 this year at Chiefs games and 1 -0 at USC games for a combined 4 - 0.

Yep it was, we signed him in 1997.

I could see how someone could confuse Bono and Grbac.

How many of those tickets were bought by the stations though???

I predicted before the season started that the Titans game would get a blackout, of course that would be diverted if the tv stations buy them all at a huge discount.. I would expect half or less depending on the weather for that game..

Not go and be out your 55-90 dollars..


Go and be out that initial cost plus, parking, food, beer and watching the chiefs O..


Seems pretty simple to me on what decision most would choose...
