I always go out of my way to say "what's up" to them. I'm always like, "whoa, a CHIEFS fan?! I'm a Chiefs fan too!!! Right on!!!" Most of the time they will give me a look like, "umm...yeah....so, what's your point?" When I see Chiefs fans in my area, they are generally as excited as me to run into another Chiefs fan, presumably because we aren't used to it. I have noticed that Des Moines area inhabitants are definitely accustomed to encountering fellow Chiefs fans... I don't care...I'll continue to act like an excited tourist when I see them.

I feel the same way here in northeast Oklahoma. I normally speak to no one when out in public...but if they are wearing Chiefs gear, I strike up a conversation in a second.
