History of Attending Chiefs Games

Childhood Era
11.4.1990: 9-7 win vs. L.A. Raiders (Bo Jackson)
10.11.1992: 24-17 win vs Eagles (Cunningham)

2004
Coming off a 13-3 season, I bought a pair of tickets through ticketmaster in the offseason. The Chiefs started 0-3 and by the time we were going to the game, the Chiefs were 3-7. Our seats were section 343, row 10 and they were $73 each. That game featured Brees, Tomlinson, Gates, Trent Green, Larry Johnson, Gonzalez. Plus a kickoff TD return by Dante Hall, and another that should have been. Although Priest Holmes was injured earlier in the year, and I didn't get to see him play.

11.24.04: loss vs Chargers, 31-34

2005
The following year was our first year in Chicago. We made plans to spend New Year's in Kansas City and see the Chiefs finish the season on New Year's Day. The Chiefs were 4-2 at the time we purchased the tickets. I got the tickets through ebay, section 301, row 5, $70 each. This was Vermeil's last game. It was a good season. The Bengals didn't try much and it was a blowout win. The Chiefs finished 10-6 but didn't make the playoffs. The Steelers finished 10-6, got the wild-card spot on tiebreakers, and won the Super Bowl.

1.1.06: win vs Bengals, 37-3


2007
In August, I found a great deal on lower bowl seats through a private seller. Section 122, row 10 for $90 each. Trent Green was traded, so Damon Huard was the starter. Bowe was a rookie. The Chiefs were 2-2 coming into the game, but 1-0 at home. They would lose this game, win the next two to get to 4-3, before finishing 4-12. MJD had a 52-yard TD run and it was 17-0 Jaguars, before Croyle came in for a garbage time TD in the rain. Here's the post.

10.7.07: loss vs Jaguars, 7-17


2010
The Chiefs are 3-0, which means the wife is on the bandwagon! We just got tickets through NFL.com Ticket Exchange, section 301, row 28, $64 each, to see the Chiefs host the Cardinals on the day before my birthday. Not only do the Cardinals seem quite beatable on the road, but you have to think that Haley will have extra incentive and know how to beat his old team. Here's the post.

11.21.10: win vs Cardinals, 31-13

2014

We got two tickets through Crowd Seats, Section 324, Row 28, $48 each. It was part of a 24-hour trip. Here's the post.

10.26.14: win vs Rams, 34-7


2016

First time I went to a game by myself. First night game! First time seeing the Raiders since 1990. I paid $74 on StubHub for Section 324, Row 28, Seat 5. And I froze my ass off--zero degrees. Here's the post from the game.

12.8.16: win vs Raiders, 21-13


2017

I got free tickets through work and took a co-worker Ryan. First MNF game! First game against the Broncos! Section 108, Row 27, Seat 6. Here's the post from the game.

10.30.17: win vs Broncos, 29-19

And then I won a work raffle and got a free ticket. Ticket was marked Section 239, Row 1 but I sat in Section 202, Row 9. Here's the post from the game. 

11.26.17: loss vs Bills, 10-16

2019

Just bought Section 346, Row 17, Seat 3 for Colts at Chiefs. First loss of a season...a season in which the Chiefs win the freaking Super Bowl. Here's the post from the game. 

10.6.19: loss vs Colts, 19-13



Current Record of All-Time Games In Person: 7-4





I really prefer sitting between the 30s than in the corner or endzone. Sitting in the upper deck is really pretty good, but those seats are best in the first 20 rows.
