I don't remember the scores of the games or who won or lost, but I do recall bonding with friends, having beers and dogs and just having a great time.

The older we get and the more responsibilities we have, days and nights like that become more important than wins or losses. Sometimes, it's just nice to get away from the wife and kids for a few hours and hang with the boys. MLB, NHL, NBA and the NFL provide that much needed service.

Now with that said, the Chiefs organization should do everything in their power to put a consistent, winning football team on the field, year in and year out. But their moves, right or wrong, are out of my control.

Bingo Dane. This post says it all. The part about a few beers with the guys is spot on.

A day at a sports bar can't compete with a day at the stadium

Clearly, but if the overall objective is to spend time with friends then I can imagine much more economical means of doing that.

Or, if it's just not the same without attending a live action sport, then why not consider minor league or smaller college games?

Everything in life can't be about economics.

I've had plenty of days at the stadium the last couple of years; and a day at the sports bar with another game on the screen would have most definitely been a better time.

I can see that. I didn't attend every game at Arrowhead when I lived in KC and often times, just walking over to Tanner's on 119th on Sunday was just as fun as being at Arrowhead.

But with all things being equal, I can definitely say that my time at Arrowhead, win or lose, was more eventful than a day at Tanner's.

You were probably fortunate enough to watch winning Chiefs football at the stadium or at the bar.

I wasn't fortunate enough to really get that experience. I'd say I've been to the stadium 25 times in the last 5 years or so. I bet I've watched 7-8 wins. I'd be just as happy to round the guys up and head to the local bar to watch the Chiefs lose and only blow $50 instead of $150.

This franchise kills me. I can't continue to fork over entertainment money for what turns out to be misery most of the time.

Hey, maybe the Royals will be worth a shit this year. I'll be there opening day. At least Hoch won't be able to muck that up like last year.

From 1989-1992 (I left KC in February 1993), I definitely saw more wins than losses. But from 1984-1988, I certainly saw more losses than wins.

And don't even get me started on the 70's, wearing a parka, ski mask and moon boots, only to watch the team lose week after week. That wasn't much fun at all. Tailgating was scarce and even if it did happen, I was way too young to enjoy it.
