Used to go to all of them. I honestly don't have the desire to do that anymore...it became a chore as attending a game is essentially an all day affair. The past 5-6 years, I usually do about 2 regular season and then the playoff games.
I'd like to start planning an away game every year just to check out some more stadiums around the league, but I just enjoy Arrowhead so much and the home crowd I haven't made it a priority. [Reply]
I hadn't been to one in years. Then bought tickets for my Dad and I to the 13 second game. Since that game; I've been to 13 home games, 10 regular season and 3 Post Season.....This year I finally have Season Tickets and I won't be missing a single game. It is an addiction..... [Reply]

If they make it back to the SB definitely go. 2020 LIV was the best money I ever spent lol. The pre game Chiefs Planet shindig was fun too. [Reply]

I think that's what makes it so fun and dilutes the bad feelings of a loss, but can totally see the opposite argument.... dealing with traffic both ways plus any drive time for those who don't live in KC, and if they lose it feels like an entire day was for nothing.
Being an out of towner now, though, dedicating an entire weekend to being in KC, getting together with people the day or two before the game, getting up early, spending every minute possible tailgating, either post tailgating or eating out somewhere after.... it's hard to look back on those weekends as anything but enjoyable, even in the cases where they end up losing (and a big part of that is just the era that we're in, knowing the Chiefs will be back the following year).
Even looking at how they lost to the Bengals a few years ago.. there was :13 a week prior, two weekends downtown/Crossroads meeting up with people, two great tailgates and seeing many CPers, two all day extravaganzas at Arrowhead, etc. [Reply]
Last game I went to was when the Chiefs were in Houston two yeas ago. Probably an unpopular opinion, but I prefer watching the game at home or at a bar (assuming somewhere you get sound) with friends these days. Especially if it's a road game where you are not getting the Arrowhead tailgating experience and atmosphere.
The quality of TVs, ample replays and NFL broadcasts have become too good when compared to me sitting in some upper bowl seats trying to make out what's happening with my mid 40's poor vision. [Reply]
