After the surge pricing kicks in after the game, it's probably cheaper to drive yourself to the game and pay to park.

I haven't been to Arrowhead since 2006, but I'm guessing the logistics would make it pretty difficult to get rides in and out of there during game time. I would probably consider it if I lived in KC, but I imagine that I would have to walk a ways to meet the Uber driver because the closest they can get to the stadium might be that old Taco Bell up by the highway.

1. Tailgating. Where would you setup your stuff if you didn't have a parking space?

2. I believe the sports complex bans Uber and Lyft from entering the lots, they have a deal with Ztrip.

3. It's a giant pain to link up a Ztrip driver with a person/group after a game in a mob of 70K. I tried it once and ended up getting a cab because at least they are recognizable.

4. KC is pretty spread out, and an Uber from most of the 'burbs will run around $30 each way (without surge pricing).

It would be funny to tell the Uber/Lyft/Ztrip driver that you'll be waiting outside the stadium and to look for the guy in a red shirt.

Price is probably the biggest thing for me. Before I had kids, I could justify the cost more. With 2 more tickets, and less disposable income, it no longer can be a spur of the moment decision.

Sorry, there are better things to do that don't cost me $400+.

I don't know if people would come for the Dallas cheerleaders, but I'm pretty confident they don't come for the current pack.

Naked cheerleaders.

I'll be in KC for work during the MNF game. It's a $30-40 Uber ride each way from my hotel (JoCo) to Arrowhead, and that's pricing it today and not during a peak event. The only benefit of that stadium being out in the sticks is the parking lot to tailgate in.

Something happened in 2013, but I can't put my finger on it. On a more serious note, I greatly prefer going to a Royals game over a Chiefs game. The Chiefs games are claustrophobic, the fans are about 3 times dumber, and I just feel like I can't relax and have to scream the whole time.

Hey, I like screaming at football games. It's fun and it's a great outlet for times when your team stinks. I'd yell at baseball games too, but people would probably think I'm a lunatic.

I also think that what's different today than back in the 90's was options for someones entertainment dollars/budget.
back then, it was only the Chiefs (at least, it seemed like it to me)...and that was it. The Royals weren't good, and there was no DTV/Sunday Ticket/Streaming, and small poor resolution TVs. So GOING to the game was probably the best bet.

Now, the Chiefs are competing for folks' hard earned money that they budget for entertainment, but now they're competing with the likes Kansas Speedway, Royals, SKC, T-Bones, P & L (to an extent), Mavericks (to and extent)etc. Doesn't necessarily have to be happening the same day or even season as Chiefs football.

Most people/families may only have $x in their budget for extra/fun stuff for the entire year, so now they might opt to spend their money and go to things in the Spring or Summer as their 'entertainment', and just stay home in the fall and watch DTV and possibly ST.
