I had a few questions and wondered if anyone could assist. This is my first 'away' NFL match and being a big football (sorry, soccer) fan, I know the US go about these games differently.
1. I know that home and away fans sit together at NFL games, however, is there a way I can book tickets through the Chiefs to ensure I sit with some Chiefs fans? I've looked on the usual Ticketmaster, seat wave etc. and I have found some great end zone seats available but would prefer to sit and chat with some Chiefs.
2. Has anyone been to MetLife as an away fan? Am I ok to wear colours? I wouldn't dream of wearing colours to an away game in the UK, but believe the culture is different in the US? Obviously I would be respectful to those home fans around me as well as accepting I am going to be a target for some 'banter' from Jets fans.
3. Is the game at risk of being moved? In the UK, they have a habit of moving games purely for TV coverage at the last minute. Thankfully being a supporter of a average League 1 side, I'm not effected by this!
It is currently scheduled for 1pm E.T on 12/03/17. I fly out on 12/01/17 so if the game is moved to the Thursday, I'm screwed.
Really appreciate your help in advance.

I've been to the Meadowlands complex hundreds of times for Devil games and football games. The Meadowlands is a pretty easy place to access with a car. Will be traffic getting in on gameday but not too bad.
As for colors, you will be fine. Been to about 5 Jets games and 4 Giants games. Jets fans are far worse than Giants fans with giving away teams crap but they are even worse at giving their own team crap.
A lot of Jets fans want them to lose at this point to get a QB anyway. Trust me they will be too busy yelling at their own team come December to care at all about the Chiefs fans. I have gotten a lot of grief from Jets fans in the past but if you only cheer on your team and aren't obnoxious you will be fine.
If you wait I would imagine you will get tickets for less than $40 easy. That's my plan. Get the Giants tickets now and the Jets tickets in November.
