I was well prepared.

It really isn't too windy at Arrowhead. With all the people around you, and the way the stadium is set up, it doesn't get too windy.

No, it isn't usually windy at Arrowhead. Maybe because the playing field is below ground level. Those in the lower level actually walk down to their seats. I wonder how many other playing fields are below ground. That is a really good idea I think.

It was kinda cold, but not freezing.

It was bitter ass cold, but well worth the price of admission.

I sit on the shade side. It was cold, but it wasn't noticeable since the game was always in doubt. The guy in front of me and his girlfriend, however, have to be feeling it today. They were too drunk to notice, but they wore far too litle. The guy had nothing on his head, and his ears were purple on the edges...

It was so cold, when I pissed it turned into a big pisscicle that I had to break off. Some guy in front of us had no shirt and his body painted. He did have gloves and a gayazz looking hat. He only lasted til the third quarter-he is probably in the hospital today.

Is that what happened with that really happy law student in KC?

Most football fields run north and south. Presumably because the prevailing winds blow north-south. An east-west field would be subject to cross winds. Not good for passing a football. But Arrowhead calls their endzones east and west. They really aren't. While I was a season ticket holder (a REAL fan), I never could get my bearings in that stadium. So I took a compass with me one time. The stadium actually runs SW to NE. The tunnel end is the SW endzone. Anytime I see a picture or TV shot of Arrowhead, I look for the tunnel to get my bearings. The tunnel is also on the Chiefs side of the field. The main TV camera shots are from the Chiefs (tunnel) side of the field. Without the tunnel, I can't tell one side of the stadium from the other. Oh, also, Tony DiPardo's little bandstand is on the tunnel end of the stadium. That helps sometimes. Also, I think the club level (gold seats) only run along the tunnel end and not around the entire stadium. This is all from memory and I haven't been in Arrowhead in almost 20 years. I hope they haven't moved anything. If I've got anything wrong, please feel free to correct me. In 1987, the concourses were plenty wide enough and there were plenty of restrooms. But they rarely had "crowds" of more than 20,000 people. THANK YOU JACK STEADMAN AND JIM SCHAAF.
