I was eight years old for Super Bowl I and remember watching it with my dad. I clearly remember the day of Super Bowl IV. It was a real cold day like today with snow on the ground here in KC. I watched the game with my dad, and he was whooping and hollering afterwards because he was so happy. I went down to the lake at the end of our street and played hockey with some of the neighborhood kids, and we were all excited that the Chiefs won. Then came the playoff loss to Miami in 71 and it all went dark for a long long long time. My dad passed a week after the 2011 loss to Baltimore in the playoffs at Arrowhead. He never got to see them in the Super Bowl again.

We got close last year. Sure hope this year is our year. I'm 60 now. Don't have another 50 years to get this close again.

My dad also passed in 2011. He'd have been 73 this year. I'm 36 but I remember those 90s teams and man we thought KNEW it was going to be our year, every year. I wish he could be around for the Mahomes era

Watched Super Bowl I in color because my dad loved Bonanza & had to watch it in color. Kinda funny to think of nowadays.

I remember watching Super Bowl I on the kitchen floor while the adults were all hanging out in the front room. My mom didn’t want us kids exposed to adult beverages & cuss words(like we couldn’t see or hear them anyway).

Yeah, I'm 61 and remember 1 and 4. Lost my dad in 83 so he never got to see the revival of the Chiefs in the 90s. My best memory of 1 was my dad sitting on the couch with a tv tray in front of him with a big bowl of popcorn and a Budweiser. Something not good for the Chiefs happened, there were a lot of cuss words and popcorn and beer were flying everywhere as the tv tray took the brunt of his temper.
