ChiefsPlanet Is the Arrowhead "experience" worth going to? - Page 4

Rams Fan · 07-24-2014, 07:28 PM

I'm contemplating driving to KC in October to go to the Rams-Chiefs. I've already been to the sports complex to see a Royals game. However, is the tailgating as good as people make it out to be? Additionally, what's the in game experience like?

If you can go and don't then...**** you! I'm stuck watching them live in San Diego or risking my life here around crazy ****ed up Arizona people. I long for the day I can return to Arrowhead! First game I went to live after I moved to KC was the record setting 56-7 demolishing of the Falcons. Best game day experience I have ever had anywhere. The ones since then have been good, but nothing's like your first.

Probably going to go with my father. Though I wouldn't have a problem straying away and meeting a few Planeteers.

You would ditch your father?

I wouldn't consider making a longer than normal concession stand run ditching my father. Or, I could also go to a tailgate. Though I'm not sure my 60 year old father who probably hasn't tailgated all of his life would want to do that.

Some CPers are approaching what you consider old. And while they resemble ravenous wolves on here, I hear they're pretty nice people in real life.

I'm sure your father will only be forced to shotgun a couple beers.

Arrowhead isnt what it used to be... Obviously the product on the field has been pathetic at best since the hiring of the CP savior Herm "gonna fix the defense, not touch the offense" Edwards... I think a lot has to do with the available technology and fantasy football more than anything....

People are just not as invested into it when you go to a stadium now days... You cant get instant updates, highlights, scores, etc at all... Then factor in the cost and travel/dedication time you have to invest, you miss so much of the NFL by going to one game on Sundays.

And with NFLST and the internet, the home experience is killing the stadiums.

This.... Everyone I have ever met from CP are amazing people... I have meet probably 30-40 people. All are great and helpful people...

People might seem like douches on here, but in all seriousness they arent, they are totally opposite in real life...

I've never even met anyone from CP but I agree with this. People from KC are some of the nicest people I've ever met. The board is just a place to talk shit and act like an ahole, just to see how the other side lives.

Be there early to start tailgating. Enter the stadium a hour before and enjoy the "Walk of Fame". Get to town on Friday and try to schedule a tour of Arrowhead. Had a friend come to town for the Raider game and we did all of the above plus, I used my Kingdom Pass points to get down on the field and carry the Arrowhead flag. Used more points to get our picture taken on the field after the game. He said it was the best vacation he's had in a long time.

InChiefsHeaven · 07-25-2014, 09:05 AM

I make the pilgrimage at least once a year. 3 hour drive from Omaha, get there at 8am start tailgating and hanging out with whoever is around me. Wander in to the game in time to catch the pre game KC wolf skit and team intros, of course the National Anthem and flyover, then settle in to watch the game. IT does seem to go by fast, and last year I took my daughter to the Raider "record setting" game.

I love me some Arrowhead, but I can't go more than once a year. It ain't cheap. This year is the first year that, barring a miracle, I won't be able to go. Wife and I have a big trip planned to Hawaii and that's sucking up all my funds, but if I can sneak down there somehow I will. It's a huge part of my season.

Dude.....take your Dad with you to some of the CP tailgates. They're all pretty good guys. When I went....I got to hang out with Flop, Phobia, Nzoner, Bowser, Buck, OTWP58, Simply Red...shit....even Clay.

Mr. Plow · 07-25-2014, 09:15 AM

I haven't made the trip in several years, just to much money & time invested in it for me to do it. But the tailgating is well worth it. Game experience was fun, even if we lost.

If you go, take a few minutes to swing by any of the CP tailgates. You won't regret it.

Perfect time of the year as well when the Rams game is. October is the best month for football/tailgating.
