Chiefs BRC becoming a "Real" fan again? - Page 4

**BigRedChief** · 09:44 AM

So I got a call from the Chiefs wanting me to sign up for season tickets again since king Carl was gone.

They don't have my orginal seats 18 rows off the field in the end zone but they will let me keep my senority in the seat upgrade program.

They said that they can give me some upper level seats and then with my high senority I should be able to get back close to my old seats in the lower bowl no farther than 20 rows off the field.

Whats your opinion?

Should I become a "real" fan again?

Anyone interested in splitting 3 season tickets?

I pick one game, you pick one game, then me, then you etc.

But be warned that we could be 18 rows off the field or in the upper deck if the Chiefs are BS'ing me.

Should I trust them to get me back into the lower bowl?

Yeah, I'm just not ready to re-commit $3K+ to the team. I'm making more money than I ever have so there is no recession at my house.

But still to spend $3K on tickets to 2 exhibition games every year as part of that package when I could do so much more with the $3K is hard to justify.

donate the PS games to Boys Club, etc and just write it off. ~30% back, better than nothing.

I usually do 3 - 4 games per year, until last year it was only 2 games (Bucs & Dolphins).

Any update on what kind of seats? Wife is disabled and those upper level seats would not work very well for us.

But I'm open to a discussion on splitting season tickets depending on the seats...

I would put the $3k (and all other fees you take in by going to the games) into a kickass home entertainment system and enjoy the games in the privacy of my own home on a screen the size of the wall.

I am envious of your opportunity BRC. Go for it, now is the time. When Pioli builds this dynasty, you will be glad you have them.

I've got the biggest HD screen that will fit downstairs. Bose speaker surroundsound through a high calibur recever. Even got Bose speakers upstairs tied into the system. Mighty happy with my set up.

What they are doing is giving you upper level seats. But they will give you the senority that use to have to upgrade the seats. I was 18 rows off the field in the end zone when I left last year. Doesn't mean I'm going back there or getting better seats either. Just that I get back in the line to upgrade where I left off.

Support the team. These renovations weren't cheap. Though you may not see it next year, the drastic difference will be worth the wait and money come 2010.

**Rausch** · 03-03-2009, 05:13 PM

I can watch a game at home, that's no big deal.

But the people I met going to the games is what I enjoyed. To me the game is secondary to attending a sideways type of class reunion where only the people you want to see show up.

If you can afford it I'd tell you to re-up and work in as many strange faces as possible...

Leaving the stadium is what got Carl Peterson fired. You blind followers would've kept packing the house and we'd still have that douchebag running the show.

You're not a bandwagoner if you're making a principled stand. I'd say anyone that spends any appreciable amount of time on a Chiefs chat-board probably qualifies in the regard.

Cassel deal about made me to opt out of mind. But I hung through the Herm years and I love the idiot team too much even when they do dumb things.

They are asking you to buy Cadillac tickets, while they sign a Taurus QB, whose best attribute is that he was a good deal.
