Chiefs fans - Talk to me about the experience
Posted on 10/17/19 at 2:37 pm
Posted on 10/17/19 at 2:37 pm
I'm meeting my brother and a few buddies in KC next weekend for the Packers / Chiefs game and I want to get a sense for the experience, as well as any other shite we need to definitely do.
We're staying in Columbus Park, so relatively close to downtown.
We're by Strange Days Brewing, so we'll probably walk by there. I was reading that Slap's is supposed to be pretty good BBQ and isn't too terribly far so we'll probably hit that. Hitting Leinie's in the Power and Light district Saturday morning because it's a Badger bar and will be jumping for the OSU game with all the Packer fans in town.
Beyond that we're kinda open. Hate shitty chain restaurants and places that are in malls or designed to look like they have character. Love original/local/dive places. Love bourbon and good beer, BBQ, burgers, and people watching.
It seems like most of the other good BBQ places mentioned are south or southwest of the city by a bit. Willing to travel a ways but don't want to be in a car all weekend.
Heard gameday experience is fun. How are the fans if we're not a bunch of assholes asking for trouble? In Green Bay the people tailgating will joke with you and then likely call you over and force feed you shots and brats.
tl;dr - How's the Chiefs game experience and where should we go in KC?

And yes, I did post this on the travel board with no responses. So I figured all the Cards fans on here now have some time to help a brother out.

I have nothing to add except that I am jealous. Arrowhead looks badass and I’ve always wanted to go to a game there.

You won’t need to bring a BP vest to this one!

First, go to the game really early so you can get the full tailgating experience. Nobody will be mean to you unless you have a raiders or donkeys jersey on and people will probably share their beer with you.
Good breweries include: Boulevard, casual animal, brewery emperial, and stockyards.
There are tons of good barbecue palces so just google them cause I'm too lazy to list them. Slaps is very good though.
Longest drive you should have to get anywhere good is to the stadium tbh.

Yeah, that's why we chose it. And we've got people coming from Chicago, Denver, Charlotte, and South Florida, so it's kinda centrally located.

We're not shite talkers so I'm thinking we'll be fine. We've been fine thus far at every road game we've done, so I don't expect any issues here. (Though I did have to tell a lady she was fat in Charlotte to get her to shut her mouth. Not my proudest moment, but it worked).
I think we're gonna check out the Boulevard tap room after the badger game saturday. Looks like it's a good size and has TVs so we can catch the later games. And I'm guessing it will be full of "our people" so should be fun.
Tickets for this game are still effing insane. It's their most expensive ticket for the year by a long shot. 3 times as expensive as some others. No offense, but I'm hoping they lose again tonight just for the ticket prices.
I've also heard the parking lot can be kind of a shite show to get into, so we'll likely be waiting to go in when they open them.

They have gotten much better about parking but make sure you buy your parking pass before game day. They jack the prices up massively if you buy one at the gate.
And prices are so crazy that people I have tickets with have gotten offers for this game for more than we paid for the entire season.

Solid tip. I actually read about that the other day so parking pass is purchased
Should be a good Packers contingent there.

Gates, there is better in town but Gates is what is served at stadium and very good.
P&L
Be ready for any type of weather
The parking lot of Arrowhead is shared with Kauffman, so plenty of place and space. The Workout facility is also there.
Stay away from the Paseo (US 71)

Ten miles from Arrowhead to Joe’s BBQ.

the atmosphere should be subdued. the soyboys in Missouri have decided that the tomahawk chop offends them so don't expect it from the Chiefs crowd.
Posted on 10/17/19 at 3:48 pm to VinegarStrokes
Those guys are on the other side of the state. Nothing is stopping the chop in Arrowhead.
Especially because we don't need foam tomahawks to do it.

What’s it like to know soyboys took you out?

lol. I was there for the game against Indy. The tomahawk chop was very much alive.
For the OP, a good bar/bbq combo joint is County Road Ice House. Sports bar feel, but serves KC Joe's BBQ there (something about the split with OK Joe's not allowing them to open traditional Joe's for so long). The place also serves tex-mex variations of his bbq such as burnt end tacos and such. Offers all the traditional beers on tap plus a few of the local brews. Directly behind the restaurant is one of the bigger entertainment squares. Last year Tec9 was there. As long as we were buying beer, they allowed us to sit on the outside deck and enjoy the show.
Places such as Jack Stack, Q39, and Gates are pretty good as well. Jack Stack had probably the best one plate of BBQ I've ever eaten, Jack's Select. It's on the more expensive side versus some of the other bbq joints. If you decide to try to go at night, you will probably want to get a reservation.
For the game experience, the place can get louder than LSU when the team is on. I mean they do have the record for loudest outdoor stadium for a reason. Everyone is really nice up there too. I go once a year and love every second of it. Even on a year like this year where the Colts beat the Chiefs, its just a great experience going there.

Thanks for the reply and info. As awesome as the scene is at Lambeau, the fans don't have the same intensity as what I'm expecting in KC.
Will definitely look into those BBQ places. It's feeling like a number of them are on the south side, which is kind of annoying. But good Q is usually worth the trip.

Power and Light District is a good place to wander, lots of bars and restaurants.
Check out Restless Spirits for local KC whiskey.
Kelly's Westport Inn is a cool bar, in what claims to be the oldest building in Kansas City.
I'm right there with you on that. For BBQ I suggest LC's, Joe's, or Arthur Bryant's.
