Phobia thinks there should be a Planet Tailgate at games - Page 4

B5 isn't the ChiefsPlanet official tailgate. We don't have one. B5 is a meeting point for Planeteers, but it actually belongs to a group of people who have been tailgating together for many years - only one of whom is a Planeteer. This is why there is no ChiefsPlanet flag nor any other identifying characteristics. We *really* need to find and identify an OFFICIAL ChiefsPlanet rallying point.

The following is not so much a bitch about as it is a compliment to another group of Chiefs fans:

This weekend, I was invited to participate in another internet organization's charity events, attend their tailgate, and sit in their section at the game. ChiefsPlanet has 10x as many registered users and has been around 4x as long - yet, their participation level was quadruple anything I've ever seen with ChiefsPlanet. That is probably attributed to their leadership, because I was shocked at how organized and well done their events were.

We need to find somebody who is willing to take the tailgating ball and run with it. Hell, we could eventually even buy a ChiefsPlanet tailgating bus or something cool like that.... We have the numbers, now we just need to find the people to make it happen.

I said:

I like the planet tailgating idea. Sounds like people have a hard time finding B5. I would suggest down by where the pope/ hearst guy is by the entrace to Arrowhead in first few rows by the aisle in the "D" parking lot. It's easy to find. People can stop by on their way into the stadium.

So whats your opinion?

If you wanna provide it, I'm sure it'd be welcome.

As long as it's not a DJ. DJ's are wannabe poseurs.

BTW, whatever happened to Dinny Blues?

He's still around; will be providing music at the banquet, IIRC.

Ooops, didn't realize he was still around. I probably shouldn't have made my little DJ joke, then.

If it is truly no imposition on Dartgod, I'd say why not stick with B5? If it is an imposition, let's designate someplace else that is centrally located.

The only time it hasd been a problem was last year at the 37 Forever tailgate. There were simply too many people for the area. But keep in mind, B5 is just a meeting place for Planeteers. There are a couple of people from here that do participate in the complete tailgate experience (food, booze, etc.) but that's because they were invited to do so by the people that provide the food for each event. My wife and I rarely do the cooking or purchase the food for our parties. Our contribution is the $22 parking pass each game. So you can understand why I can't leave an open invitation for anybody to stop by and grab some brew or some chow. Not that that's ever been a problem. Practically everyone understands this and has been very cooperative.

FWIW,Arrowhead offers a group package starting at around $110 per which includes a tent,food,ticket to the game,a visit by KC Wolf and the cheerleaders as well as an autographed football for the group coordinator.

Last time I checked it took a minimum of 20 people.I realize this doesn't help those of us who have season tickets but thought it was worth mentioning for a possible get together for one game.

That option was discussed for this years 37 event...... it was part of a package deal that didn't go through.

Maybe next year.

BTW, I'm sending you a pm......

Like Dartgod we have a regular tailgate group of 20+,however,if anyone ever wants to stop by and say hey you're more than welcome.

We have a grass island we set up on on the Northwest side.

And some people will show up and not talk to anyone and later say they "didn't feel welcome".

Sounds like you might be near where I tailgate..although northwest is kind of hard to determine because of the angle of the stadium. I'm usually over by the K near where the bus/RV parking is.

Here's a map showing my spot:

We're at the furthest corner by Lot H where one of the main roads intersects with the road leading right between the stadiums.
