had a good view....lower level was 95%, club level probably 50% spotty oon the sidelines, practically empty on endzones. Upper deck was 85% on sides and probably 25%-35% on ends.

Not so sure about that. I made it to two games last year and they were a LOT of empty seats. They said before the game the sell out streak goes back to 1991. They would have had to buy a lot of tickets last year to keep that streak alive and looks to be continuing this year.

TV and sponsors did help last year, but remember there were almost 30,000 more season tickets sold last year. The number of available tickets to sell were a lot less, so the bill was smaller.

Actual attendance was probably around 66,000.
Lots of empty seats in the upper corners today.

yep I missed last year. I have been to 19 of the last 20 though.

Whats funny is, everyone got their wish in the offseason when Carl was let go. A complete housecleaning.

We (all of us) supported Carl and Herm more than we support this new regime?? Doesnt make much sense to me?

The economy cant be helping much....

Upper deck had big gaping holes as did club level.

What's that 4000 no shows? 6? Happened all the time in Denver last year.

on tv we noticed a lot of empty yellow seats

This.

I thought it was a good crowd. Not a 'peak of marty-ball' style crowd, but a pretty good one nontheless.

The lower bowl was filled to capacity, just absolutely stuffed. It was as loud as I've heard it there 5 years during that last Raiders drive.

Unfortunately, we got out hearts ripped out so I doubt you see it anywhere near that loud again this year. It sucks, too. During that drive I looked around and thought to myself "this could be it, this could be the re-birth of Arrowhead and Chiefs football..." I knew we wouldn't be a good team, but it looked like maybe the energy would come return.

Then they killed it.

Yea I felt the same way, arrowhead the past few years has been weak (for obvious reasons). But we were fired up, especially in that final drive.

Arrowhead won't be the same until we start winning again, simple as that. By the time we start winning again, the economy should be back to normal by then.

Nothing to do with this thread, but at the Mizzou game over the weekend a very significant portion of the crowd yelled "Chiefs" at the end of the national anthem. Was sitting next to St. Louis people and they were heard to say, "This isn't Kansas City jackasses."

long time, first time.

Someone made a comment about the tv station buying tickets. I was in Cincy for the Broncos season opener last week, and their local cbs affiliate in the contract of paul brown stadium must is required to buy the unsold tickets (which that week, was several thousand). However a couple of corporate sponsors stepped up like Krogger to lighten to blow.

So there's another example of the local tv station having to buy up tickets.

i thought it was full for how shitty the team has been for the last 5 years
