Return visit to Arrowhead

Folks:

Thanks to all last year for advising me about things to do in the area during my first-ever visit to KC. (for the Buffalo game). To refresh your memory, I grew up in Boston, live in New Jersey, work in New York City and have rooted for the Chiefs since 1968. I'm going back there for the Atlanta game in late October and look forward to it.

Some follow-up questions:

* How soon should I arrive to ride a "Chiefs shuttle" from a downtown hotel, considering the lines to board the bus and, of course, the traffic? This time I'd rather spare myself the headache of driving.
* Can I get away with leaving the car in the lot behind Union Station all day? They don't charge on Sunday, if my memory is right, and I could walk through the station and over the foot bridge (past the fountains) to that hotel diagonally across the way from the station.
* The parent company of Adam's Mark has sold that hotel to Clarion, if I'm correct. How is it under the new ownership? I might stay there this time, if Clarion hasn't jacked up the rates.
* I had a terrific meal at Pierpont's in Union Station; any similiar restaurants to recommend?
* I may spend part of my four days in the area in Omaha; I'm a college hockey junkie and Neb.-Omaha plays Division I. What other things would be to do there--restaurants, galleries, etc.?

Again, much appreciated.
