The players get out and 'mingle' with the crowd more towards the end of the route,

Once they pass, people start heading down towards Union Station.

IMO, your best bet is just to go down to the Hill early and get a good spot.

The WW1 Museum is selling parking passes for $50.

I was just thinking about if I’d go this year. For the CPers going on the parade route, where we meeting up at?

I'm going to try to sit on the wall in front of the historic museum monument, across the road from the Union Station. That's where me and KurtCobain hung out at the Parade four years ago.
Would be cool to meet more cpers

I went to the last two, but not going to do it this year. It sucks, because the weather will be waaaay nicer than before. But I just don't want to deal with getting there so early in order to get a great spot and then wait 4 hours.

The type of offseason that you genuinely love and don’t mind when it goes slow.

Let’s do this!

I've found I can show up right before the start time and find room along the parade route, then just walk down to watch the Union Station stuff from the lawn. I never understand all the people who try to get out there at 6am and just sit/stand around for half a day.

I'm going to stay the night in the Union Station parking garage and get out there at 6 am to get a good spot. It's part of the experience. I'm ****ing stoked to be surrounded by a million ravage Chiefs fans like me.

If you plan on meeting up with people, pick a meeting spot before you head there because once you get there the cell service may be garbage to completely non-existent.
I think they bring in some mobile towers now to help, but unsure how good it helps.

Another parking option if you have deep pockets...

Don't forget to park with us at MCC Penn Valley Campus tomorrow! $30 per car, starting at 8am. We accept Cash, Credit Card & Venmo.
There will be two entrances to the lots - one off of 31st street between Jefferson & Pennsylvania, and one off of 33rd Street across from Browne's Irish Marketplace.
This is a fundraiser to support the KC St. Patrick's Day Parade as well as MCC student initiatives.

If you don't mind walking I live about 3 miles away. Not a bad walk especially when its nice out

The cell service is one of two reasons I’m considering not going now; I may be taking the day off but that doesn’t mean my customers are and I can’t go hours with service for my work phone.

The other is with a definite “no” that Taylor Swift won’t be in attendance, I expect it’ll be an even more packed mad house.

I’ll plan better next year for the 3peat parade and book a hotel room in the area well in advance.

I will probably be there with next one.

Also going to be broadcast on the NFL Network starting at 11am CT.
