Chiefs Pics when Arrowhead was new

My sister gave me a box of pictures my mom had. When Arrowhead was new, my dad was lucky and got the seats that I sit in now. I've posted pictures from my seats before. My mom took some pictures from the very same spot in 1973 for a KC-Oakland Game. I scanned a couple of them. Some interesting things: 1) Picture of George Blanda. In 1973, the visitors stood on the press box (south) side, and the Chiefs stood on the north side. It's the opposite now. 2) Look at Dawson's helmet. This was at the tail end of his career. 3) Dawson holding a kick for Stenerud. This was probably an extra point or short field goal. Note the Astroturf and "NBC Sports" banner. Back then, NBC the original network for the AFL, though by 1973 the merger was complete and so it was the AFC.
