Perception of the Chiefs outside of KC among football fans.

Based on some encounters I've been having recently, I thought it might be fun to start a thread for those of us who live outside of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,
and the general surrounding area of the place the Chiefs call home.

What if anything are you seeing/hearing/witnessing from football fans regarding the Chiefs and their chances to beat the Pats, go to the Super Bowl, and win it all?
As a fan living well outside of the home base, it has been anything but fun in the past to try and explain why the Chiefs are a great organization despite the lack of trophies,
and why Kansas City's football atmosphere is second to none. But, as you might well imagine, the "arrowhead" is pointing WAY up,
and being a fan "out in the wild" ain't quite what it used to be.



The New Mexico Report, Albuquerque:


New Mexico is in a unique position regarding professional sports teams in that they have none, so people here who are NOT transplants from other markets have complete
free will to choose any professional football, baseball, or basketball team they like.
Sadly, many of them chose poorly and decided to be Donkey turds either because of Elway back in the day, or Manning as of late.
There is also the issue of Denver being roughly 500 miles to the north of ABQ, so that may have something to do with it as well.
The other Locos and Locas split time and fandom between Dallas( a fairly large local base ), Oakland( the next largest down though getting smaller and smaller in recent years ),
and San Francisco( a very small local fan base ).
I've been wearing my Chiefs beanie quite a bit this winter and as a result, I've had several people come up to me who want to talk football, Chiefs football.
What used to be at best a sideways look followed by "the Chiefs???", has become "The Chieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefs, essay"( ).
The respect level is WAY up and we all know the main reason why:
Spoiler!


Um...no. Actually, it's THIS guy:



And, quite a bit of the other guy pictured as well along with Kelce. These three players are well known among the people of New Mexico that I talk to along with Chris Jones here and there.
But mainly, people want to talk about Mahomes and with good reason; he's a once in-a lifetime player that fans of the game, regardless of who their team may be, LOVE to watch play.
The main question I get over and over is, "how did you guys FIND this kid"??? And I enjoy walking them through the entire story from start to finish because it IS an amazing story,
and one that will likely not be repeated again.
Apparently, more people are aware of the playoff history of the Chiefs and between the Chiefs and the Colts than I had imagined.
I bring this up because EVERYONE that I talk to is thoroughly convinced that the Chiefs are going to not only win, but tear New England a New Asshole in this upcoming game based on the state of the team
combined with getting that Colts/playoff monkey off of our backs. Most people are a little surprised when I temper my own response and take on the game, but I understand; they are living completely in the now
while I am still weighing the past as well as not foolishly discounting B/B in the playoffs.
That said, it's cool to meet all of these people who are convinced that our team is hands-down the best in the AFC, and who have every chance in the world to win it all. Refreshing!
Also, even the fans who are not completely lovey-dovey will admit that they want the Chiefs in the Super Bowl if for no other reason than to spare them another outing from New England,
something I believe any NFL fan who is NOT a Pats fan can agree on.

And finally, the gear is coming out and starting to show up. It is not uncommon for me to see someone in a Chiefs hat or beanie, or even a full blown getup, or to see an Arrowhead sticker
on a vehicle at least once or twice a week now. That's quite a step up from when I moved here in 2011, and there was absolutely NO swag in sight for miles other than my own.

At the very least, the Chiefs are making inroads in to New Mexico and as long as Reid and Mahomes are winning games, I believe it's safe to say that we can count on quite a few new fans out here as the years roll by.

Chicago:

I got a lot more comments from Bears fans before they knocked off by the Eagles. I think now they're just quietly bitter, which frankly I can relate to. As a fan base of an NFC team that has been generally absent from the playoffs in recent years, they don't seem to harbor the deep-seeded hatred towards the Cheatriots that people in AFC cities have. My prominently displayed Chiefs gear is generally ignored.

The people in my office mostly hope the Chiefs win this weekend, except for Bronco Girl, who is spitefully rooting for New England. I told her she's like iced coffee - cold and bitter.

Had people stopping me in Vegas the weekend of the Jags game to talk about how good Mahomes is while I was wearing a Montana jersey.

It was a nicely odd experience.

There are a few Chiefs fans here in San Francisco. Lots of people know about our team as Montana and then Alex Smith went to KC, people kept tabs a little. I just found out there’s a pretty huge Chiefs bar in the South side of Downtown. I’m flying to the game Saturday, out of Oakland. I plan to be Chiefed-up and expect nothing but respect.

From southern Indiana to now Northwest Indiana, there are a lot of die hard Chiefs fans here. Where I used to live a guy had his entire basement looking like the chiefs locker room. It was awesome. Now living up northwest I drive around in my work truck with a Chiefs license plate and I’ve had several people come up to me during the summer that said they were from KC at some point and they couldn’t wait to see what the kid could do. Then I had a bad experience at a local brewery and sent them an email. My email has to do with chiefs, he emailed me back and told me to come back in. Wife and I went in one night and he ended up being a huge Chiefs fan and we still keep in touch through email!

Lot of Colts fans have told me throughout the year how amazing they though Mahomes was.

Weird thing to me is that down here in south Texas, most of the comments come from women when I wear my Chiefs gear. Most dudes are Cowboys or Texans fans. They don't want to admit that Mahomes is great. A bunch of jealous ****s I guess.

Go to the GOCAR place in downtown SF. See if they still have my Chiefs pullover from the summer. I left it in a car. But we had a great season without it.

(if we win) I will buy a shit load of clothes with SB on it.

I’d say the pendulum has swung quite a bit to our side since the Mahomes trade.

It’s all good now.

I'm a rare breed in my neck of the woods. It's all NFC North all the time (and primarily Green Bay). You basically get a "yeah the Chiefs look really good this year and have a shot," but that's about all you're going to get.
