Heck with that. So how would they be sure that everyone left?

It wasn't successful because I was there,the Royals played the Twins and it was like 105 in the shade.After the baseball game we jumped in the Yukon and headed across the lot to our usual tailgate spot for the Chiefs pre-season game and never encountered a problem.

Of course they are. How do you think people get into Sunday night football during the last 8 weeks of the season? There is no way they are going to take your money and then tell you to buy another ticket for the same game.

Has anything came out officially about the logistics of parking for this day? Will we be forced to leave and then come back in??

This info may be in another thread I'm not sure.

Are there individual tickets for sale for the chiefs opener yet? i dont want to buy season tickets and would rather just spend for this game.

I still haven't heard anything. The article said "Adjusted parking details for Sept. 13 will be announced soon". They must have a different definition of 'soon' than I do.

I'm guessing what OWP said will probably happen, they'll have a designated area for all-day people to park.

Keep in mind that you'll likely have to buy a ticket to another game to get a single ticket for MNF.

**gblowfish** · 07-06-2010, 10:54 AM

Too bad we're not opening against the Raiders. That way we could kick both Oakland teams in the ass on the same day.

I'll bet they make everybody leave and come back in, so they can charge for parking twice.

There's lots of logistical problems too, like I have a Chiefs parking pass for a Red Lot, but no parking pass for the Royals, so if they park me in a non-red lot, I'd have to move my car.

Also, they would probably only expect about 15,000 people for a Monday daytime Royals game, so they figure making 15,000 people move in advance of the 70,000 to come later is not a big deal. The problem is, if the Royals game isn't over until 4:30 or 5pm, you have Chiefs traffic arriving, PLUS standard Monday rush hour, PLUS interstate construction at I-435 and I-70....it's going to be a major cluster f**K. Might be best to just park at a nearby hotel, take a shuttle to the Royals game, then just hang out between games, then take the shuttle back after the Chiefs game.

It'll be interesting to see what they work out.

There will be 12,000 fans at the Royals v A's game. By 4:30, there will be less than 6,000 fans. I don't see how this will be a problem.........

Well that's what they did for the group purchase we did for the bash, so I'm guessing single ticket sales won't be any different.

sedated · 07-06-2010, 11:09 AM

they better not screw up the tailgating for the Chiefs game if their brilliant plan for making a couple bucks on parking doesn't work.

they SAY the parking lot opens 3 or 3.5 hours before gametime, but I've gone in at least 4 hours before with no problem, and had hoped to do the same for MNF.

I bet the Royals will draw a big number just by the people who want to see both games. I wouldn't be suprised to see them sell some combo parking pass for like 40 bucks for those who are going to stay for both games.

Either way, I am betting that they **** this up big time.

I wouldn't have an issue with this AT ALL. Royals parking is $10, Chiefs $22 for the cash lot....an extra $8 to not have to dick with the traffic would be great. AND if I say F*** it because the Royals are down 7 in the 4th inning I can go to the truck and drink.
