i must say i was conflicted as to which team i should root for and which colors to wear… my husband is a die-hard chiefs fan (i think since before he was born), was born in KC, and we now live in KC; BUT i am a native texan and very proud of my hometown. that being said, i wore red. why? i think mostly for the sport of it. and being that don was dressed top to bottom in texans gear, it made it all the more fun.
on our walk to the stadium, a police officer asked us for which team we were rooting? as we were nearing the entrance to the stadium, i was informed by one of the stadium staff that proper attire was required in the stadium and that i could purchase a nice selection of my choice at one of the apparel stores inside. see? the fun had just begun.
upon entering the stadium there were a lot of chiefs fans in attendance, and i even received a chiefs flag from someone who was handing them out to everyone in chiefs attire. i was ready for kickoff.
once we arrived in our seats i was asked by the guy next to me if i thought i had made a wise decision sitting so close to the edge of the upper level. (niiice, huh?) good thing he wasn’t a scary man and he was smiling when he said it… altho, that shouldn’t have been any consolation and i made a mental note to keep an eye on him. every time the chiefs scored i stood up, jumped up and down, hollered and waved my flag. i stood up A LOT in the 1st and 2nd quarters. in the first quarter, one lady texans fan shared with me how nice she was and explained it was because of this that she was not going to spill her beer on me. uh, i would think that she’d keep her beer in the bottle if only because it costs an astronomical $6.50! but ok. in the second quarter, another texans fan tapped me on the shoulder after i had just sat back down and politely said, “uh, ma’am, i’m going to have to ask you to stop screaming.” yeah, riight.
at the end of the 1st half, poor don lost his “fun” factor and i think even pouted — just a little. chiefs were up 31-7. texans fans were pouring out of the stadium and most of them never came back. the texans fans boo’ed their own team a couple of times — that’s just not cool. i hope those were the people that left. good riddance.
the second half seemed a lot longer than the first, but the chiefs stayed on top and continued to score. more ribbing from the texans fans peanut gallery whom surrounded me, another unoriginal thought to push me over the railing, blah blah. and then the not-so-scary-guy next to me said something really funny… he told me not to get so excited. that the chiefs aren’t that much better than the texans; it was just that the texans were “out-sucking” the chiefs.
so at the end of the game, chiefs were “out-sucked” by the texans 45-17.
my husband probably won’t find that as amusing as i did.
