That is a funny story!
I have to say that I was amazed at the amount of booze the security folks were taking from folks prior to the DEN game two weeks ago. I went with my brother-in-law... saw many of the B5 folks and as we were going in, they must have thrown away half a dozen fifths of alcohol... dozens of beers. It was insane. |

It's really not hard to find the B5 Chiefs guy's hangout. Just waltz through B-5 wearing a Raiderz jersey, holding a sign that say's "CHIEFSPLANET IS FOR HOMOS LIKE DARTGOD" Then back track the string of hurled food to the originating source (making appropriate apologies when you arrive) |

So, after the first few series - we just moved to the sun. It wasn't an issue, b/c there were plenty of seat options. Overall, the stadium was pretty cool. The atmosphere was great and the fans really got into it which made it exciting. The funny part was getting there with my brother in law. He doesn't spend much time on the Internet, but I was telling him we would try to find the guys at B5. He was a bit perplexed that I was trying to meet people that I've only talked with on the Internet ... Chiefs' fans even. So, we pulled in and one section over from where we parked, I saw B5. Cool! Then it dawned on me, it's arctic like temperatures and everyone will be wrapped up, how in the hell am I going to find these guys without walking up to each tailgating crew and asking "Are you the ChiefsPlanet crew?" Then it happened... I was telling Joel (brother in law) about a few of the 'characters' from the site. (We had already run into Weirdwolf howling in the parking lot.) I'm looking at the actual B5 sign and I see this dude, with yellow and red bell bottoms. I said "Joel, now be prepared... I think that's First Down Elvis... I think we get along, but I know we like kicking each other verbally in the groin on the message boards... this could be interesting." So, I walked up to the group - I was wearing a DEN sweatshirt, so it was obvious that I was not a Chiefs' fan. StevieRay turned to me with this "who are you look" and I said "Stevie Ray?" He said "yes" and all I said was "Mile High Mania". And from there, it was greatness. I met Dartgod, KC Dan, Jazzlover and several others. These guys cooked the hell out of a pig. Yes, a full pig ... not just a pork BBQ set up, hooves, tail, head... they pulled the skin off there and everything. Overall, it was a great time... it could have been about 20 degrees warmer though. It was fun meeting everyone. |

Yes it sucks that concession stands gouge ya they way they do, but unfortunately “WE” the fans have created the situation.
If everyone would just STOP buying their high priced food/drink then possibly they would re-consider their pricing index. But that ain’t gonna happen,,,so we just simply complain and deal with it. Kinda like high-ticket prices. We have “kids” coming out of collage who are brainwashed into believing their worth 6 mill up front etc… And we the fans give the owners of the teams way too damn much money per game, just so Jim Bob can have his 6 mill up front with all kinds of incentives. |

There oughta be a law...
What is the world coming to when you can't even enjoy the beverage of choice when you are already paying out the nose for tickets. Did the Dim's take over stadium security when we weren't watching? |

Looged in this morning and low and behold the thread has got a couple more responses. I'll be running around all weekend now with a smile on my face rehashing the whole event. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys when the season fires back up. Do you attend the pre-season games or just the regular season?
