CHIEFS GAME MOVED TO LA!
 

NFL officials just confirmed as well. Like the idea of proceeds going to help fire victims, including first responders. Maybe encourage fans to bring necessities to game for donations, à la Harvesters. So much for training in Denver, Coach McVay. ROFL

Good

when do tickets go on sale? From poor field conditions to poor air quality. The lesser of two evil's? Actually Mexico City has both. They are just eliminating one.

If true, thank God.

Finally, some common sense from the N$F$L . . . . . .

Viva Mexico!

Great so we can get screwed by the refs now

Let's GO!

Ok thank god they got out of mexico **** them.

I HAVE SOME SERIOUS MONDAY DECISIONS TO MAKE

What about those that already paid for flights and hotels in MC?

Since when has where the game is played ever made that a non-issue for us?

Wonder how they're going to handle tickets. May have to see if I can go.

síp

The obvious decision the NFL had to make.

Good on the NFL for taking player safety seriously in this case. This is going to be a HUGE hassle for them and will likely cost them a ton of money. Not to mention ruining the travel plans of a ton of people making the trip down there.

But I'm glad it's being moved. It'd be catastrophic if one of our key players (or theirs) went down with an ACL or something because of this.

Better this way.

Roger had no choice. A lot of star players would sit and a very bland game of football would have been played if not.

WOWEEE! What a mess!

But I'm glad.

Hotels are usually refundable. Flights - not so much. Some people are probably gonna have to either eat the plane tickets or take a quick little vacation to Mexico City.

I bet we lose - sorry - I hope not - but definitely don't feel as good about the game now. Oh well.

Probably screwed.

Dude, the stadium will be at least HALF red. Get ready for it.

Good job NFL you finally did the right thing.

That's why the sell trip insurance

Well that kinda sucks.

I was hoping for that neutral site road game.

NFL Vice President of International, Mark Waller might want to start updating his resume.

True. The Chargers game was 75% kc right ?

You could try and pay the cost difference between LA and MC. I’ve had to cancel trips at the last minute and got some of the cost back.

Rams don't have any sort of home field advantage, and in fact I'd wager that there will be more Chiefs fans there than there would have been in DF. I feel better about the game than I did!

What's hilarious is that the Rams have wasted 2 days of travel by going to Colorado to get acclimated to the altitude

It essentially still will be.

I don't mind them not having to play at a high elevation, either.

remember the Hall of fame game in Canton being canceled? One NFL game a year there and they couldn't get it right.

I don't know if it was that lopsided but you could hear the Tomahawk Chop loud and clear... :D

This do make ME laff

Maybe they went to the Figure Skating Hall of Fame while they were there

You are still getting one.

Now hopefully they'll give up on this out of country nonsense

They (Mexico City) have no one to blame but themselves. It’s not like this game just snuck up on them.

I'd say it was two-thirds Chief fans.

I don't expect that margin at this point in the season with the Rams, especially considering their record and the hype. But still, LA is LA. I don't foresee Mahomes having any trouble being heard calling plays.

It will be closer to a home game than an away game. At least the Chargers game was to start the season.

Interesting that Reid said he didn't care about the altitude, maybe he does and knew about this all along?

I seem nice.

We've been acclimating to sea level for 2 days now. Great call Andy! :D

And the events coordinators for that stadium had better be prepared for an unholy ass-kicking.

Seriously - how in the actual **** do you let that happen? 'First come, first serve' isn't exactly a viable business plan when you have a contractual obligation to an international, billion dollar property like the NFL.

The NFL can/should sue the **** out of some people over it. This is remarkably bush league.

ESPN reporting that the Lambs are not returning to LA from Colorado Springs until Saturday.

That can't be right unless they are staying in Colorado Springs to avoid the wildfire issues?

A nice morning walk at Garden of the Gods, lunch at Bambino's, afternoon shopping in Manitou Springs, and then a nightcap at Ivywild... sounds like a good practice to me!

I'm assuming the tickets will be wide open for purchase? We need to fill that stadium with Chiefs fans.

Okay well good - I hope so - and Parker - I accidentally thumbs-downed that - I sent over posi rep to offset.

You DO!!!!

I bet it's because that's when they originally planned to leave. They don't want to disrupt the schedule...they'll just carry on as if the game were still in Mexico.

Mexico really ****ed itself, and a whole lotta other people

How freaking ignorant to allow that concert

No shit. What clowns. Cost themselves millions of tourist dollars.

just like the Hall of Fame game a few years ago

does this mean the game will be late as ****

NFL going to get that wall funded.

Does insurance cover you if you just don't want to go anymore?

8:15 p.m. (Eastern)/7:15 p.m. (Central) kickoff time as normal.

Man, can you imagine the switchboard at Arrowhead this afternoon? All the pissed off people who made airline and hotel reservations? Jeez, what a cluster F. This makes the league look really disorganized. I'm sure the players are relieved they don't have to go down and play on a stitched together rug at altitude. And as far as smog in LA goes, we can bring in a lot of oxygen tanks for the sidelines. That's no big deal.

Another reason to just get that damn wall built

hmm.. Chiefs or Shakira? hmm.... lol IM a Chiefs fan and all, but im all in on Shakira. lol

you might have to fake a illness

they are. they actually flew all their families out yesterday because of them.

Extra home game for the Chiefs. This is perfect. There will be WAY more Chiefs fans there.

some does

she make me horneay

Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons ... In the spring we'd make meat helmets.

When the Packers came out here, it was easily 50-50 and maybe 60-40 Packers fans. We should be able to get close to that.

settle down beavis, it wasn't any single event.

This is actually better for the Chiefs. We already played in LA once this year. So they're used to being in SoCal.

Pretty standard, really.

Well thats one way to look at it, but I'd bet the game was going to bring a lot more money into that city than even Shakira could

Reid's hometown. King Taco is just a little ways up the road. :clap:

Actually, I think this reflects very well on the league. They wont be blamed for the field conditions and they made the absolute right decision to move the game to LA. Good job for once, NFL.

I assume we had packed up a lot of oxygen tanks anyway, so we can still use them.

Kind of like that Hall of Fame game in Canton they canceled less than 24 hours prior to kickoff. Reason: poor field conditions

Well they did have a month to fix it. :shrug:

The wildfires aren't affecting them at all

plus no chance of Montezuma's Revenge
