Arrowhead Security

Katie · 09-22-2004, 11:28 AM

So I get to two or three games a year and really look forward to the Arrowhead experience. Just my luck, I'm sitting right next to the drunkest, most obnoxious Chiefs fan I've ever encountered.

This guy was so drunk, he somersaulted head over heels down three rows directly in front of him. Security escorted him out and the people in front of us were told he was asked to leave. 15 minutes later, he's back, STILL drinking and screaming at the top of his lungs, using every word in the book and even a few I didn't know.

I'm very disappointed that this type of abusive behavior is tolerated there. I will say on a positive note that the fans around this idiot handled it very well. There very well could have been fighting had the people around us not ignored this guy.

The game was bad enough, but that experience really leaves a bitter taste in the mouth...

Did you ever get up, track down Security and complain about this loser?
Or did you just sit there?

I would have gotten a Sheriff at that point.

I was involved in a fight once. This ass behind me kept spilling his beer on me, and my niece. I asked him to watch it, and he ignored me. Next, he lost his balance and fell into my niece, shoving her. I asked him to be careful, and he gave me some wise ass remark.

Other fans had noticed this, and went to get security. By the time they got back, he had pushed my niece just to provoke me, and it worked.

He got it about 8 times in the face before other fans pulled me off of him. Security was on the way up when they pulled me off, and this guys was so drunk, he thought security had hit him, so he started fighting them.

They had to call 2 Jackson County Sheriffs to help.

Yes, even Chiefs have a few bad fans, it's the norm in the NFL.

I once saw a guy fall over the railing into the tunnel head first. The guys was wasted. I was sitting there and told the guy next to me to look at how wasted the guy was. He then fell over the railing. From what I could tell he ended up being ok, but it knocked him out and cut his head.

Another funny thing. Where my seats are located there is a step that is a little bigger than the others, warped a bit. Every game, and I mean every game someone walking up the steps trips and spills whatever they just purchased. Beer, pop, food everywhere.

Oh My God. Arrowhead=Old Vets?

I sit front row 50 yardline behind Chiefs bench. The lady that owns the tickets next to me has been scalping them every game for about 5 years now. So usually I get some drunken A-Hole from the VISITING TEAM sitting right next to me. Since they paid outrageous bucks for a front row seat, they're usually over-lubricated when they arrive, then it gets worse from there. I've never had to call security as usually the really bad ones pass out or leave before the game is over. One guy did push my wife to the ground trying to get to a glove or a towel or something the players threw up in the stands after the game. I had to go ballistic on him and told him if he EVER came back to my section he was a dead man (doing my best Al Pachino in Scarface impresonation). Seems to me to pay a scalper $300 or more for a seat, and then getting so blasted you can't even remember the game is the Webster's definition of stupid. If you're going to get drooling, pants wetting drunk, do it at home in front of your big screen TV. Unless you're Toasty Warfield...Rant Rant Rant.....

That's asinine. One guy is being a jerk so others leave? It may be in the presentation of your complaint. I'd try something like "if you don't get this drunk asshole out of here, he'll be leaving on a stretcher".

**Iowanian** · 09-22-2004, 12:42 PM

It goes both ways........

Last year, the section in which I normally sit, is a bit overzealous to get sercurity. Last season, a Bronco fan(a very loud) was sitting right behind me....He was a good natured enough guy, but was really loud...no cursing, nothing bad about the chiefs....just taunting a bit with "thats a denver broncos Fiiiiiirst dooooown"...stuff like that. I traded barbs with him enough that alot of the section and the one beside me were cheering as I busted his chops.....good natured.

Security showed up to make the guy leave because someone complained.

I told them that while the guy made obviously poor life decisions, like cheering the Burros, he wasn't belligerent, drunk, threatening or whatever and they were assholes to make him leave.......They let him stay after a couple of others agreed.

he called his buddy somewhere else in the stadium and told them how cool Chief fans were..................and I heard him say the atmosphere was cooler than the Donkydome.

KC Kings · 09-22-2004, 12:42 PM

I worked security for the 2001 pre-season, (thought I would be able to see the games for free, but got stuck in the player tunnel), and the people that were removed from the game were escorted to the gate and removed.

I only had to break up 2 fights, one before the game, (I stood at the gate to the Pavilion) where 2 old guys started fighting, and were on the ground wrestling more than punching. The other was one drunk guy in his late 30's fighting 3 guys in their lower 20's. They were in the front row of the lower deck, and when they saw my fat ass running at them (down hill), they all gave up before I got there. I leveled one of the guys anyway because I was the first one there and had planned on diving into the entire group, and had too much momentum to let up when they decided to stop throwing punches.

The older guy started the fight, and was put in cuffs, then released outside the gate when the other guys didn't press charges. They were all walked out of the stadium, out of the same gate at the same time, which didn't make since to me when they could just start fighting again as soon as we left.

I sold beer in 1995 at Arrowhead for 2 games, Raiders and Giants... kept the beer vending badge, and got into every game from 1995-2000. Every game including playoffs for free... Hate me if you want, But Carl missed out on 6 years of season tickets from my ass. Its probably my fault we couldnt sign a free agent this year.

FWIW I stopped after 9-11, because I figured security would tighten up... it hasnt... I noticed that the same batches are being used today. If I hadnt gained about 40 lbs since Marriage, Id probably still go. heh.

Beer and Computer = Large Ass

So basically what you are saying is that it is your fault we are losing.
