-------------------------------------------------------------------

Parking on game day

The grass portion of Lot X is a cash lot on gameday, so anyone can pay to park there on gameday. The money goes to the county, not us. If you are comfortable waiting to pay until gameday, Lot X will be the most convenient. The events and tailgate are beside each other. Enter through the Gator Bowl Blvd road. That funnels traffic into Lot X, there is nothing blocking or diverting traffic to Lot X. The cement portion of Lot X have been reserved by the Jaguars for Arrowhead South.

There is no parking inside the event space, only parking is on the other side of the fence next to our event space in Lot X. There is no free parking anywhere near the stadium.

If you are worried about parking in lot X because you are coming later, might be filled up, you can book through the site Fairgrounds ahead of time and walk over to Lot X. It is a short 5-7-minute walk. Here’s the site….https://www.jacksonvillefair.com/p/o...e-game-parking

The parking in lot X is 5-minute walk to the stadium.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Post-Game Tailgate

This is a free to all event. We are coming back to Lot X to celebrate the win. Everyone is welcome. Whatever food and drink are left from the two previous events that Arrowhead South purchased will be free to all. First come, first serve.

A cash bar will be available. Personal coolers are allowed in this event.

The stadium is a 5-minute walk to our Lot X tailgate.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Hotels

Cheri Jones: I am the one who got the rate and to my knowledge they never closed it. Just has to be Sat, Sun, Mon as Friday the hotel is not accepting arrivals. To my knowledge they never closed our group rates. If your reservation is affected by the Sept 6th closure (only 2 people to my knowledge booked on Friday night) go online and rebook for Sat or Sun, or Sat/Sun

How to purchase the lower level seats or specific sections from the Jags:

Please email Alexa Olneya (olneya@nfl.jaguars.com) or call/text at (904) 633-4673. If they call, please have them leave a voicemail. Email and text are preferred. Alexa has been great to us. Lots of praise from everyone. Make sure you let her know you are with Arrowhead South to get to the front of the line and sit by fellow Chief fans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Heartfelt thanks are due to these great people and organizations. We are utilizing a bare bones expense system to keep the ticket money going to the charities.

We had $5000 worth of meat donated.
Days of his life and hard work during the events of the pittmaster, Fergilious.
The Jaguars gave us $2600 to help pay the rental of lot X. In addition, they provided Tables, chairs, port-a- potty's, trash and site cleanup.
Manifest Distillery for giving us a keg of beer for free. Giving us bottles of alcohol of which the charity will benefit from the proceeds. They are discounting the water, tea and Coke products that will be available.
Every one of the 40+ volunteers you will see at the events paid the full price to be there just like everyone else. They are giving up their fun time just so the rest of us can have party on. Salu!
Bubba Burgers are donating 240 hamburgers for the tailgate on Sunday. They are going to cook them in their own area and created a Hamburger bar. They are also donating and running a Nacho bar.
Garden are donating appetizers and deserts for the fundraiser on Saturday night.
Mojo BBQ gave us the sides for both days at no cost.
Mojo BBQ also provided the BBQ rigs for Fergilious to use at the events. This saved the expenses to transporting all the rigs and equipment 2000 miles away.
The event banner for the pictures was donated.
Glory Days Grill and Millers Ale House for the Arrowhead South banners.
KC BBQ Society CEO and two of his staff donated 5 days of their time.
The Ozark BBQ alliance provided 2 persons to work full time for both days.
Scott Gorman donated tickets to the game that were auctioned and generated $485 for the Patrick Mahomes charity.
Gina Kidd donated $100 and purchased, delivered all the paper products that we will use to eat, drink and be merry.
The Arrowhead South chapter leaders donated 30 hours of labor to man the reception and front tables.
Dysautonomia International charity donated the items for a silent auction, Provided labor to man the reception and front tables. You can find out about all the great work they do here: http://www.dysautonomiainternational.org
Last but not least Susan Higgins who pulled all of this out of thin air. She worked for weeks for no pay. She makes good money doing events like this but for us, she worked for free. We are so grateful for her advice and hard work. Also, gave the coolest Chief cooler ever made to be raffled off.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Fun stuff:

We are going to have a donated backdrop/banner made specifically for the Jacksonville events. We will have a red carpet for people to stand on in front of the backdrop and fans can have their pictures taken by a professional to memorialize their trip to the Jacksonville game and Arrowhead South events. They will be posted online to be downloaded for free.

At the Arrowhead South Jacksonville events we are going raffle off a one of a kind customized Chiefs cooler. Hand built with all top quality wood. $5 a ticket or 5 entries for $20. Proceeds to benefit the Patrick Mahomes foundation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update 09/5

Current total of tickets sold:

Saturday Night VIP fundraiser....194 tickets sold.

Sunday pre-game tailgate ....... 467 tickets sold.

Thanks to all the volunteers who have contributed to make these events a success. I can already smell the deliciousness coming from the smoker. Brisket, Burnt ends, Pork Loin etc. courtesy of the KC BBQ society and Fergilious. Sharing some cold beverages with fellow Chief fans. Watching Mahomes on the field live take the next step in this golden era of Chiefs football.

And the best part.... Enjoying the festivity while raising money for charities that are doing great work for people in need. It’s going to be a great weekend!

--------------------------

For the record and keeping this in the open so everyone can have confidence that there was no shenanigans with the charity monies.....All monies from the Sat. night fundraiser and Sunday tailgate ticket sales will be split evenly between the Patrick Mahomes foundation, Nick Foles foundation and the KC BBQ society's scholarship programs for kids. The money raised by the sale of those great tickets in the 3rd row behind the bench that were donated and the raffle proceeds from the customized Chiefs cooler will not be split evenly but will be given to the Patrick Mahomes foundation exclusively. The Nick Foles charity group will be having a silent auction at the fundraising event. They are running it, setting it up etc. That money will go to the Nick Foles foundation exclusively. The KC BBQ Society may also do something at the events. If they do all the work, run it, they can keep that money raised exclusively too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrowhead South doesn't collect nor have access to the money being raised. That is controlled legally by a 501.C charity. They will distribute the collected funds to the charities. Arrowhead South will publicly announce the number of tickets sold periodically before the weekend. We will be reviewing and inspecting the books. The results will be made public to prevent any shenanigans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: 09/18
We still have a couple of invoices out that may need to be paid but we are comfortable saying that we raised at least $15,000 for charity over the two day's.

We are not really into the getting drunk and rowdy thing so this may not be the best fit for you.

I tried to set something up. About 6 different ideas. All fell through.

The Red Coaters were going to do a Red Friday but the Chiefs wouldn't let them take cases of the flags to the Chiefs to sell us. Then too many peoples plans changed to getting into town on Saturday.

There is a group deciding to go take over a bar. I'll post here which one they decide on.

I've got to get the BBQ teams going today. Have to be there at 7:00 am on Saturday. Go home at midnight. Back at 7 am in Sunday. My visit to Jacksonville will be to Lot X and the hotel.

But, I chose this path....

We are in another town...last thing we as Chiefs fans want to do is get a rep of being like Raiders and Steelers fans.

Be rabid fans....not drunken partiers who crap all over town then leave.

It's going to be enough when we lay waste to their vaunted defense.

It's a government conspiracy.....we are an above-average intelligent alien race that crash landed in Roswell NM in 1947. We were captured by the US Government and taken to Area 51 to study.....but the scientists there got bored with us and we were forgotten.

One dark and dreary evening we managed to hijack 6 classic VW vans and make our getaway. Once free from the clutches of the government we hid out in the desert to pick out our new home somewhere inconspicuous in the US. Our best people researched specific areas to inhabit where we would not be discovered and by appearing to be "normal" we would fit in. (That ruled out NY, Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles)

We finally settled on the following 4 coordinates:

32.7157 Degrees N & 117.1611 Degrees W

37.8044 Degrees N & 122.2712 Degrees W

39.7392 Degrees N & 104.9903 Degrees W

39.0997 Degrees N & 94.5786 Degrees W

In doing further research we found that in the first 3 locations, we could not find any signs of intelligent life, nor could there be anything close to being considered normal.

So, off we went to 39.0997 Degrees N & 94.5786 Degrees W with the hope of establishing a permanent residence by which we could monitor and learn about earthlings and their habits.

Unfortunately, our knowledge of human transportation vehicles was not exactly how our early scouting parties had imparted to us. Just short of our intended destination our last vehicle crapped out and we were forced to establish our new residence at the coordinates of 39.3156 degrees N and 94.2938 degrees W....which at that time was a small mining community.

My job as a "researcher" for the Mosbonian race has taken me all over the United States and I have discovered many interesting things such as a football team that has all Chiefs and no Indians.....a football team of Dolphins who play on dry land.....and a team of Jaguars that play on just 2 legs.

I now live in a state where everyone goes to "re-tire" but humans don't have wheels.....where there are "Canadian Geese" that don't really fly.....where people say to watch out for "alley gators" you rarely see on the street....and everyone works for the House that the Mouse Built.

You humans are strange....
