Kansas City
Tailgating At The Arrowhead Stadium
One cold winter night, we went down to Kansas City, Missouri to catch the Kansas City Chief playing a Mondal Night Football Game. Despite the cold weather, I still insisted on coming.During that season, the Chiefs have three slots for the Monday Night games. I remember fondly how I was the one I charge of keeping our novel Chiefs tickets safe. Finding a ticket to the games of the Chiefs is difficult already and the tickets to the Monday games are almost impossible to come by.
Immediately after the end of the classes, we made our way down to go to the Arrowhead stadium. The excitement even for a 12th grader was difficult to contain. While driving down, I was told that there would already be many people there tailgating. Interacting with our fellow Chiefs ticket holders would enable me to learn more about the sport and the team as well. It was surely entertaining to hear their stories. Not long after, the parking lot was already filled with the loyal Chiefs fans wearing their red and white uniform.
When the gates were opened and people were allowed to come in, the queues were almost unbearable. Out of nowhere, people came filing in. It was not the most comfortable place to be waiting in line. I was told that it was to be expected since Monday night games were the most popular. I was once again educated on how lucky I was to be holding the Chiefs tickets for there were still people waiting in line to try and get their ticket to the games.
The stadium was roaring with excitement when we entered. It was a view of organized chaos. People are coming from everywhere. There are those that are already passed out even before the game was started from drinking too much while tailgating. The first few second after the games started was in utter silence. However, the stillness of the night was suddenly disrupted by the chanting fans. The stadium was filled with the cheering and celebrations of people from different parts of the stadium. Only then did I realize how involved the fans really were to the games of the Chiefs.
We left the stadium even before the game ended so that we would not be included in the mad rush after the game. The Chiefs were ahead of 7 points already. The exact events that happened that night were cloudy but the experience is still remembered.
