What was the attendance today? 20,000? 30,000?
 

I live in NY. Was it blacked out in KC.

Thank God Arrowhead has red seats.

Carl put up 75000 cardboard cutouts to make it look full.

ATTENDANCE: 69,169

That is what the stats say. Have to ask some of the people there what they think of that.

It was the sparces I have ever seen it for a home opener.

After the way they played-expect it to be a ghost town out there in december when it gets cold.

Cheaps tickets $10 on its way.

It seemed loud as hell on the radio.

When they showed the stands in the middle of the first half, it was pretty full with the exception of the ends in the upper deck. I'd say that there were at least 70k people there.

no fuggin way-maybe they sold that many-but it was really empty toward the top.

150th consecutive sell out going back to 1991 :doh!:according to the announcers

Chiefs are costing the local tv station a lot of $$

Get ready for a lot of Giants, Cowboys and Steelers fans coming to Arrowhead.

I was there. It was about 75% to 80% full. I thought it was a decent showing actually for a team that finished 2-14 last year

The TV stations wouldn't be paying for the tickets if it was costing them money.

First home opener I've not been to since 1992.

The Chiefs are one of the few NFL teams that still ask TV stations and sponsors to cover unsold tickets to avoid blackouts. The other teams believe if someone is not willing to buy a ticket then why have a third party buy it so you can watch it at home.

TV stations don't want to return ad money for spots already sold, and they love the ratings boost. Once or twice a TV station will help, but if you can't sellout the Home Opener and a game vs. your biggest rival the money from TV may stop.
