Yeah, that really annoys me. I think you're referring to the games against the Packers and Vikings. Those were games that Mahomes was out with the knee injury. I think we have some fickle fans. :mad:

Domes are so 1980

I think the coldest game I went to was the Baltimore playoff game; or maybe the Bronco game the week or 2 before. I remember it being just brutal cold. during our tailgate we had to keep our beer in our car with the heater on because everyone's beer was freezing within a matter of minutes. inside wasn't much better; we dressed for it, and it wasn't all that bad; feet were the only things that got cold, and even then, didn't start getting really cold/miserable until about halfway through the 4th.

I can do cold all day. I'd rather it be 25 at the game, than 40 and rain all day errr day.

One of the games I went to was the Houston game and there was alot of Texans fans as well. Way more than should be and it never used to be like that.

I've said this before, but I blame that primarily on the fact that it's easier than ever for opposing fans to buy tickets. The exchange doesn't let you discriminate against opposing fans when selling.

You are probably right but I am just curious why so many are selling their tickets. I am sure some of them want to only go to the best games and want to recoup some of their ST money.

My uncle has had season tickets for over 40 years and if they can't go they give them to me\brother or fellow Chief fans.

I was there as well, and yes, that did suck. Sucked even wirse for me b/c I had a whole city who rubbed it in upon my return home...:mad:
However, in sticking with the spirit of this thread, it was the perfect day weather wise to argue against replacing Arrowhead with a dome.

And as for the snow game against the Broncos, I thoroughly enjoyed that one. I would much rather have that than rain and temp in the 30s/40s.

You ****ing pussy with cold feet!!!!

It was perfect weather but my overall point is yeah weather plays a role in people going to games but at the same time even in perfect weather a large groups of fans will either not show up or sell their tickets.

Doesn't make alot of sense to me with Mahomes as our QB. I could understand it when we were running out shit QB's\teams but I don't know what excuse these ST's have now for not showing up.

I'm sure you're right that a lot of people are selling tickets to help cover the price of the rest. Going to a game has steadily become more expensive in the past couple decades (though Arrowhead is still a pretty affordable place to see a game in comparison to many other stadiums). That, coupled with the ease of selling in general, has undoubtedly compounded the situation.

Whenever my feet get cold I just unroll my cock. Drops right down my leg into my boot. Just have to be sure not to smash it jumping around after a TD is all.

Gotcha. IMO, the reason is the $$$ to be made on resale. For example, when my nephew and his wife could not join me and my GF for the Texans game, I sold the tix I was giving to them for $700 for the pair in section 117, 3 days before the game. Luckily Chiefs fans bought them, but I had no idea who did till I saw them at the game.

Oh yeah, it was a beautiful day weather wise, so many Chiefs fans missed it, don't understand that.

Just do the dome and be done with it, I'm sure the polar bears can deal with wearing a few less layers in the winter and not getting sunburnt in those early games.

I'm thinking Juan wishes field wasn't organic concrete and that roof cover is more important than polar bear whiskey-peen club's bragging rights.

That's what they said about us winning a SB, then 50 years ago happened..

JakeF 01-01-2020 11:26 PM

A dome would allow them to use Arrowhead as a venue for other events during the winter. I doubt they will ever make a permanent roof though. It will need to be a sliding roof.

Happens when costs go up. The team uses every avenue to raise prices. Fans will offset the cost by s lling to highest bidder when they can't go.

The 90s worked great because of defense and crowd fed off each other for years and actual blue and white collar fans could afford tickets on all levels.

What is the average cost to go to the game now per level or section per game per seat?

Then the game experience you get at home now?

Yes, you're right. The Texans game was bad, just not quite as bad as the Pack and Vikes games.

way to many...surprised on how many tickets these visitors can get their hands on.

Demonpenz 01-16-2020 10:38 AM

90s had cheaper tickets and the broadcast at home in the 90s had no ticker at the bottom. It didn't show you the down or distance on the screen. Internet wasn't going so going to the game was a good option. Now with so tvs.. Betting online fantasy online face book social media porn beer all in your own home it is more enjoyable. I know some people just moved on from being die hard fans. Too many chief losses and they spend time doing other shit.

When you can sell a ticket for 4x the value its got to be hard to say no sometimes.

It's going to be 17 degrees for the game. Why would you want to sit in that shit for 4 hours when you can have just as much fun watching it with Chiefs fans at a bar or pub at 70 degrees and be much more comfortable. HD TV is valuable.
