Chiefs Making first trip to Arrowhead this weekend. what to expect? - Page 2

wheeler08 · 09-17-2009, 12:56 AM

My dad and I are driving 8 hours away from Indiana to see out first Chiefs home game. Been to a few Indy and Cincy, Chiefs games.
Besides the game, looking forward to some KC bbq! Do they sell bbq in the parking lot anywhere, or do you guys just bring your own?
Seeing how we don't know anyone, was hoping they would have stands setup or something. Not really sure what to expect at the tailgating.

What to expect.

A blinding video ring.

Half empty stadium

Chiefs D to get pushed around

Another Raider win inside Arrowhead.

Enjoy your trip!

It's the Raiders and the home opener, do you seriously think the place is going to be half-empty?

You tell me.

3 days before the game, and you can get TWENTY SEATS TOGETHER in the ELEVENTH ROW of the upper deck.

It was just a few years ago you couldn't get a single on Ticketmaster after the Johnson County pre-sale.

I would suggest trying to hook up with a few people off of here, maybe they will be kind enough to let you join them.

Wow, maybe so then.....are we dancing with a blackout on the home-opener???

soundmind · 09-17-2009, 10:28 AM

In the event of blackout, I may go, just so I can watch the damn game.....if so, you guys can hook up with me and mine.

+1

Someone from CP should step up and invite you to thier tailgate party. I would, but I'm not going to many games this year... Been selling my season tickets off game by game since Herm became coach.

Like someone else said, don't judge Arrowhead/Tail-gating experience/Crowdnoise based off of what you see THIS year. Arrowhead is NOT the same as it used to be! When the team gets back to winning... the traditional "Louded Stadium in the NFL" and best tail-gating scene in the world will come back.

Well I sold the bar to my brother, but he got the NFL package, but has not received his Sunday Lic. yet. Everyone came over to my house last week. I am going to a party in Wisconsin this weekend, not sure what time I will be getting back.

We all need to get a trip planned to go to Arrowhead.

You getting Matt into FB more this year?

wheeler08 · 09-17-2009, 10:47 AM

Thanks for all that info! Win or lose I'm sure we will have a blast. It will be nice going to a game and not being maybe one of the 50 people wearing red. Cincy was the worst crowd.

Thanks for the tips, wrote them down.

Do they have shuttles running from anywhere?

Chiefs Express and Royals Express Discontinued

As a result of decreasing sales tax revenues, the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority is facing a multi-million budget shortfall for 2009-2010. Accordingly, The Metro will not offer Chiefs Express or Royals Express in 2009, as announced in February. Reductions throughout the Metro service area have been implemented in order to deal with the budget crisis.
We regret the inconvenience this may cause our loyal Chiefs Express customers, but the current economic conditions leave little choice.
