Mentioned this in another thread, but my roomates were all Rams fans, and boy did we have some in home rivalries...this was during the KC-DV yrs Priest vs Faulk Roaf vs Pace TonyG vs Holt/Bruce...we did FFL together...really miss those fun times.

Once Rams moved to LA, they were devastated. They had a really bad decade that caused their fanbase to pretty much disappear, Linehan, Spagnuola, Martz, Fisher etc...I asked if they followed their fandom to LA, they all said piss on them. They're rooting for KC now. I've accepted their migration in good faith, although having someone to bitch at and talk shit to was a lot of fun back in the day.
So glad to hear this.

Has there ever been a poll on CP asking if people would still be Chiefs fans if they did the same thing? It would be absolutely heartbreaking. Not exactly sure what I would do with such conflicting emotions.

But welcome to the Kingdom, gentlemen.
Not only that, but have your "owner" and "True Son" lay a massive turd on your city on the way out. Bidwell didn't do that, although he had a reason too. STL fumbled that. I hope that pissant loses on Sunday and in court.

Wearing Chiefs gear all week in Florida and i keep getting stopped; people wishing good luck and shouting Go Chiefs.

Since the wife's family lived in StL, we were Rams fans (along with whatever team Trent was on, which happened to be the Rams at one time).

I hadn't been to TWA dome since the glory days of Vermeil/Martz there, then Trent went back for that brief stint with the Rams after KC. We went to a game and damn... that dome was downright depressing. It was shocking the difference in atmosphere from the glory days. It was just pathetic and sad. I'm not sure there is anything more depressing than a quarter-filled indoor sports venue with pigeons and shit flying around in the rafters.

Contrary to popular belief, there were a ton of Chiefs fans in STL even BEFORE the Rams left town.

One would think people in STL would be more pissed about the Cards bailing back in the day?

I just went to Publix to pick up some bagels for breakfast. I had my Kelce jersey and a Chiefs hat on. 5 people wished us luck tomorrow and said they wanted us to win it all.

40+ years of fandom and I've never experienced anything like this. A fella could get used to the attention :)

Absolutely. KSDK (STL NBC affiliate) used to air the games every Sunday.

Some are, others are pissed at the politicians (Gene McNary, Vince Schoemehl) for ****ing up.

I retired 4 years ago and worked in STL with lots of fans from many other teams.
Emails and texts have come in since the 1st place seeding, wishing my team well and they were pulling for Chiefs...in the mix was panther, packers, bears, chargers, vikings and dolphin fans.
It was nice to hear from them.

Around the Horn just had a hilarious bar reaction shot of Zuerlein's 57-yarder to win it - from a bar in LA. They cheered a little - no one stood up from their bar stools. One person asked if that meant it was over.

Curious how MVPat is received around the country now. Here around Charlotte people have finally got with the program. Still can't find many Chiefs fans though. Last week I went out to watch the game since my market elected to show INDY/ATL for some reason and I was the only one watching our game smh

People here are amazed by what he can do. Many are happy when the game is on and love talking about Mahomes.

Even a few packer fans.

The more other markets see this team-the more the demand will be.

This afternoon I pulled up next to a teenager driving a Jeep with a KC Chiefs spare tire cover. I removed my Chiefs hat and waved it at him (to get his attention) We then waved at each other and then I continued to the dispensary around the corner from me to buy some medicine. I'd have bought him some too if he'd followed me ROFL

For the first time since late last season, I landed at the Indy airport on Monday. I told my wife how excited I was to walk into the Lids and hopefully find a Mahomes Jersey. A Chiefs hat. Really anything! And....

The Lids was ****ing closed! Maybe a new Chipotle coming in. Because Chiefs, I guess.
