Chiefs How many Chiefs games have you missed live in the past 20+ years? - Page 3

KCrockaholic · 08-27-2022, 08:22 PM

Just curious. I have only missed 2 games since 1999. One was the Chiefs-Dolphins in 2006 (Probably because of a girl), the other was Chiefs-Packers 2011 game (First day new job). Otherwise, haven't missed a second of any other game since then.

What's your mark?

A lot. My dad and I used to go to different restaurants in our area that had Sunday ticket and we'd watch most games live there while imbibing and eating appetizers.

Then I moved out of town in 08 to live with my now ex wife and we had Sunday ticket. I watched most games at home alone (She was a Packers fan and didn't like my game watching temperament). I'm sure I missed a few here and there because she was always dragging me to some kind of this or that on Sunday afternoons.

Since I got divorced and moved back to town, my dad has had Sunday ticket and I always go over and watch with him.

That I can recall from more recent times, I have only missed the first half of the game in London (I think I forgot it was on early), all of the game in Indy when Alex got concussed (girlfriend was sick and I had to take care of her kids who were little at the time) and most of the big comeback Playoff game against Houston. I had gotten tickets to take my nephew to a Penn State wrestling match months before playoff schedules were announced. Some guys in the stands behind us were talking about Houston blowing us out. I had my phone off because I wanted to enjoy the match with my nephew, but that made me really antsy to get to a TV. On the way out of the parking garage we couldn't find a radio station carrying the game, but we found a youtube channel that was live commenting on the game. We heard the full comeback through the commentary of two Giants fans. It was excruciating.

I don't have an exact count, but I would say 3 or less.

I've seen every Chiefs game past, present, and future

Yeah, our last live game at Arrowhead was the season finale of 2006 when Herm backed into the playoffs.

I told him I know nothing of the game and don't ****ing spoil it, to which he responds "Ok, I won't tell you anything, but you're going to love the ending!" Thanks for that, you stupid dick.

I had a friend to that to me. Cant remember which game. Holmes was playing though.

But Chiefs games are part of the reason I quit going to church. We went to the last service. Father in law wanted to go eat and it took forever. missed the first half. Cant remember what game either

I have missed more births of my children to watch Chiefs games than I’ve missed total Chiefs games in my life.

Dude.

But yeah, that Ravens game was the beginning of the end for me... I had bought tickets to a couple regular season games in 2011, but sold the rest of them after the home opener bullshit against the Bills. Didn't pay for another game until the 2018 AFCCG.

And now have been to 3 of those... it's wild.

Was the Dolphins due to a hurricane named after a girl? I'm trying to remember if they were able to televise that one or if I got shut out by the networks.

I'm not sure that I've missed a single game over the past ten years. If you go back 20 years there were times in Denver when the game simply wasn't shown pre-satellite and internet and sports bar. So I probably missed numerous games back in the early 2000s.

Or did we have sports bars by then? If we had sports bars I would have missed zero or close to it. I've just had several eras in my life where it was impossible to watch the game live due to technology gaps.

There was a Chiefs Dolphins game that was moved up a couple of days due to a hurricane around that time. I know we won the game and it may have been the time that we had a RB/WR score something like 3 TD’s in a game only to never be heard from again.

I've missed parts for sure but cant think of a game I've missed the whole thing.

KCTitus · 08-28-2022, 02:47 PM

My 'religious' watching/attending KC games began in 1988. I worked at Arrowhead/Royals stadiums in 1987, so i didnt get to see any of those games, and judging by the attendance, most of the city didnt either -- they used to close the upper deck some games and just told everyone to go down to the lower level.

After Ganz, and Marty coming in, that only made it stronger. I made sure to watch every game at a sports bar or live. I only went to a few games at Arrowhead as I was a college student living on my own and didnt have the funds.

Leaving KC in 1995, and Sunday Ticket not yet available everywhere, I spent a lot of Sunday's in sports bars, but I still got to see games....

By the time the Herm years rolled around, I took it as a personal challenge to see every game. It was like my very own IronMan.

In all of that time, there is one game I didnt watch live... last years Buffalo/KC game in week 5. I knew they were going to get slaughtered and the team had been playing so poorly, I refused to watch that team play below their standards.

I wasnt wrong, but it did hurt a little to skip it. I did watch it, but on GamePass after the fact...so I dont think that counts. Chalk me up for 1.

Church is a good way to ruin a perfectly good Sunday.

Thankfully when my dad was dragging us to it we weren’t going out after it was straight home to the game.

I take it the difference between not wanting to watch them lose to the Bills last season and, well, the 20 years prior... was you were expecting shitty football for 20 years?

I was going to add this to the list of games i missed. They played it on a Friday night. I missed it because I was assigned to chaperone a dance that night. This was before streaming and smartphones. Had to keep running to my classroom and checking the score on my computer.

**lewdog** · 08-28-2022, 04:19 PM

Only time I've missed a game in the past decade was the time I was so drunk that I was time traveling and thinking I was in Belize with a beautiful model.

Still irks me that I missed that game.
