This is the absolute truth. I spent a week in Phoenix one time and when I got back to Nebraska I was never as happy to see trees and grass. I don't know if I could ever get used to that.

Follow up to my previous post. Not sure if you live in KC now or have lived away from KC, but you will miss the sports teams if you have not lived outside KC in awhile.

Just being able to turn on a Royals or Chiefs game and then listen to sports radio the next day is something you take for granted. Even though I could watch the games on the Internet (thanks grandllama or whoever you were), I still feel like I was missing out. This was my first time living outside KC though, so you may have already experienced that.

Another thing to add is while you have access to many sporting events here with 4 Major teams, Pac 12 athletics and spring/fall league baseball, the atmosphere is less than ideal since transplants like me like every team around the nation and the home town teams suffer.

This. This plays a part in us moving back. I always come back to see family and for a Chiefs game once a year but it's not the same. I still never miss a game as I have NFL Sunday Ticket but I just miss it overall, not just my sports teams or being able to go see my teams play live whenever I want.

Sports is something to consider if sports is apart of your lifestyle. Arizona is a terrible sports state. It's nothing like back in Kansas or Missouri. There is no legit, consistent, loyal support for any team, pro or college, in Arizona. U of A fan base is ok, but they don't care as much as all the colleges back in said states. As far as the Cardinals fans here? Lol I see their fans all the time wearing Fitz jerseys but having on a Cowboys, Steelers, Pats and now the newest...Broncos hats or gear. No joke, there's no support for them. I don't care though as I'm a born and raised from KC diehard Chiefs fan but it's just different. For instance, a couple guys I work with that have season tickets to the Cardinals games told me just last week that depending on how the Cardinals are doing they'll let me have their tickets for free when the Chiefs come to town on December 7th. I don't get it but cool with me lol.

Just going to the grocery store and seeing a chiefs hat or royals jersey is something you never notice until you move away. Just the idea that other people around you are rooting for the same thing and you have something to talk about with them. Heck, I almost missed Mizzou fans after a few years.

We already bought our house here and had our neighbor come out to meet us a few days after we moved in. A couple in their 70's from none other than Overland Park, Kansas. Both Chiefs/Royals fans. Gonna be a kick ass block party!!

Lol awesome. I've totally said the same thing to my wife several times. Anytime I see a person out here in AZ with Chiefs, KU or Royals gear on I freak them out because I act as if I found my soulmate or I knew them forever because I high five them and pretty much dry hump them and shit lmao. I feel alone sometimes being out here as far as sports go that I freak out when I see a fellow fan.

Totally agree. It's like finding a long lost family member.

This to. Being at Petco Park this week seeing a bunch of Royals jerseys made me realize how much I miss living amongst fellow self haters

Although I feel a lot of pride when I wear my Royals or Chiefs stuff. Especially if they happen to beat the Dbacks or Cards

I live in Gilbert and have for many years. It's my second tour in the Phoenix area. My wife and I love it here. The weather is awesome(yeah it sucks July-August but where does it not? Oh yeah, Southern California only a few hours drive away for monthly long weekends), the state is beautiful outside of metro Phx, and there is always plenty to do. Yeah the schools mostly suck but there are exceptions. I would suggest the east valley. Personally I think Scottsdale is totally overrated. Scorpions are not that big of a deal but you can PM me and I will tell you how to find a scorpion free property. Come on out, we can use some more Chiefs and Royals fans out here!

Oh yeah speaking of things to add: your a 4.5 hour drive to Las Vegas! If that doesn't seal the deal then gtfo anyway!
