I hope the rest of you can go out and show support.

When the Chiefs first into town, my dad bought 6 tickets and we went to every game at the old municipal stadium. We even found a friendly resident to reserve a parking spot on his lawn so we weren't blocked in. When the Chiefs made the move to Arrowhead, the ole man looked at getting a suite, but since he couldn't bring in his own food and booze, that was a deal breaker. We wound up in a corner of the nose bleed section. In time, he took advantage of the seat upgrades and soon we were in Section 118. He eventully sold the other 4 tickets to friends which left our seats in row 31(?) seats 7 & 8. We even won the Super Bowl lottery, but the Chiefs had to get past the Bills first. Since my mom passed just a week or so before, and the Super Bowl package had to be picked up in person by the ticket holder, the organization did make an exception, but we had to start our "tenure" all over again. That hurt! Over the years, the ticket prices kept rising and eventually, we just couldn't afford them any more and let them go.

One thing the Chiefs are very poor on, is fan appreciation. I always thought that they should have some sort of season ticket discount based upon tenure. Oh well.

Since we are retired and live over 150 miles away now, Chiefs games are no longer on our list of must-haves. I wish the team all my best.
