I look forward to meeting everyone at the tailgate

What time will the gates open?

Noon to noon thirty most likely

I always thought 5 hours before kickoff.

Haha no way!!! I just meant I cant swing Pappy Van Winkle or anything crazy like that. I see what some people drink here on the whiskey thread.

I just ordered one of those and some thermal undies on Amazon.

Yip

I dropped some heavy coin for four tickets to the game Sunday. My wife, brother, sister in law, and I.

Never been to a night game or a cold ass game. I hope the weather holds up Saturday. As not a mountain of snow.

My drink of choice is rumpleminze.

So I'll likely swing by and say what's up with a bottle of that.

That shit used to make me black out in college.

**** that shit.

At least you guys wont have to worry about keeping your Beer cold!:-)

Props to you guys for braving the elements. It's down to 45 degrees here and I have my long underwear on at work......

I was wearing shorts and a t shirt yesterday at 30°. Getting acclimated to upstate NY weather makes it feel almost warm.

Yeah I live in Charlotte so I don't have jack for cold weather clothes. Thank god for Amazon Prime. (I can't believe I just typed that)

Haha same and 3 long sleeve shirts......and I'm going to the game.

007..... Buddy and Myself coming in from Saskatchewan, Canada for the AFC Champ Game on Sunday. We would like the home field tailgate experience and if your cool with us stopping in that would be cool. Bring anything ? Beers ? Slab of Ribs ? You guys doing a meet up the night before ?

Won't be the first time we had Canadians at our tailgate. No one is passing our in the back of our vehicle, though. :)

Gates open at 12:30 per email from Chiefs.

Only down to 15! Woohoo!

Nice!

Serious.

Weather Channel says 17 right now. We had front come through Phoenix yesterday, leaving some rain. That might bush the artic blast northeast a bit.

We will definitely stop in. What can we bring..... also wondering about Saturday meeting spots ?

That's one helluva party.

I'm also wondering about a meet up the night before. Anyone in?

Everyone going: Have fun, drink plenty, and stay warm!

Looks like the blizzard hype was all bullshit and it wont be as cold

Opening of new Arrowhead with the Royals game before was nuts. I didn't even go to the Royals game and tailgated for 7 hours. Concession stands cut off beer sales at halftime.

12:30?

I wonder how many people will be blacked out drunk during the game? 10%?

More.

Also Not at all familiar with the downtown .... I'm looking for a good comfortable hotel that I'll be not super far from Good BBQ and Good Beverages for Friday and Saturday days and nights ? Help me please !

5 hours early has become pretty typical. My guess was 12 or 12:30.

You'll be paying out the wazoo to stay downtown. Especially with it being so close to game day. If there are any still available even.

I got a room at the Sheraton on the plaza for 150 per night. Within walking distance of Jack Stack and bars and a quick uber ride to Westport.

I'm staying at the Best Western Truman Inn in Independence.

Hey guys, long time lurker. 5+ years.

Anyone flying out from Los Angeles/Orange County?

I was gonna stay at Harrahs NKC but last time I looked they wanted $400 for the night.

Yah, nah m8.

We live in Lawrence, so it isn't a bad drive home... but P&L might be a good time after the win.

Drury effing inn! Close to tailgating action and quick escape with no travel hassles.

Temperatures revised upward again 24 high, 18 low.

Downright balmy.

Staying at the CoCo Key Water Resort. Definitely not going swimming, maybe a belly flop into the kids pool if they win. LOL

AKA The Adam's Mark Hotel

:rockon:

Big difference between that and subzero temps. That's normal jeans and long johns weather. Arctic friggin snow overalls no longer required.

Coming from near Toronto, Ontario in Canada as well and will stop by for sure. Looking forward to the tailgate and the great game!

Please let us know if we can bring anything aside from Beer or toss cash.

You know this area, though. I'd bring them, just in case.

Definitely. Living out here, I didn't want to buy $160 boots that I may never wear again (if I make it out there).

We are still gearing up. It's easier to smuggle things into the stadium that way.

Will definitely have pictures of this tailgate. I definitely want to try to get one with as many CP members as I can at some point. Late enough that most people have gotten there, but early enough that anyone who wants to head in to the stadium early can.

Of course you're welcome to join us. Outside of KC, some of the best tailgating I've done was in Calgary and Regina, and this is no different. If anything, we need shot glasses, the plastic variety. I haven't seen that mentioned here yet. Bring what you want and are comfortable with, there will be plenty of food, so pitch in accordingly.

Any contribution is appreciated. Not really sure what we would need at this point so whatever your heart desires.

Oh, I'm definitely still bringing the arctic pants, just in case. You can't trust the weather people a day out, let alone four days out.

And I'll wear the new thermal socks regardless.

Yeah, what he said. :D

:thumb: Looking forward to it!

I think we’ll try to make our way over to your area.

Wouldn’t mind meeting most of you. I think I’ve only met Luv.

Do it!!

Yep, I jumped on Amazon last night after I saw your post and bought some heavy-duty thermal undies and one of those full face masks.

Money well spent if it keeps the arctic air out of here, I say.

Never hurts to own stuff like that. I just hope it won't be needed on Sunday.

Tickets
 

Question about Row 1 in the upper Deck....... Is the Rail really a piss off or is it a non factor...... I'm gonna purchase some uppers row 1 but wanna make sure that rail isnt a deal breaker...... I figure no one in front of me around midfield of the uppers is great place to be ??

If you mean does it block your view, no it doesn't

In 313? :hmmm:

(and from what I remember, it's a non-factor... but, it's been several years)

Row one in the upper deck are some of the best seats in the house in terms of seeing the action.

I'll second that. You absolutely can't go wrong with first row upper.

I've seen a few decently priced pairs behind the end zones, including a row 1 pair that just went away... I know some people prefer that view to 50 yard line. I've only sat in the lower level endzone sections, which I wouldn't do for a game like this, or else risk watching all the big plays from the scoreboard on the other side of the field.

But, I'd think that view would still be pretty good from the upper deck, even when they're on the other end of the field.

Is the Temperature seriously rising every other minute?!?! High of 25 and low of 20 now! According to the Weather Channel app

So what’s the current forecast for the temp?

for whatever it's worth 4 days out. Calling for between 22 and 21 degrees between 7 and 10 pm Sunday

My dad is officially not going, so it will be my boyfriend and me. Chiefs are 4-0 in games he's attended, so I'm considering him a good luck charm. :)

Perspective is a funny funny thing.

I'm kind of bummed that I won't be able to make the pilgrimage for this game. Would be great to see you all, and I'm sure Arrowhead is gonna be insane.

Unfortunately, the wife probably won't let me get out of our trip to Cancun this weekend, so I'll be thinking of you guys in the cold while sitting in shorts and a t-shirt. :D

Unfortunately, not going to tailgate with my son this time around. We are getting to the stadium and just going in because I don't want him to get cold or have any issues.

Hope you all have a blast. Drink about 10 shots for me.

I agree. Especially for hockey and football I prefer sitting in the upper deck to see everything. Midfield in the first few rows upperdeck is perfect IMHO.

Well, I'm glad the weather for the game itself is improving, but it looks like I'm driving through heavy snow on Saturday regardless of the route I take to Kansas City. :cuss:

leave friday night
:D

Yeah, that'll make it all better. nlm

This is us ... usually around the F23/24 area also

Yep, I see that money flag every time I walk in.
