I think there were a lot of broken wagon wheels and dysentery.

As a Chiefs fan the 70's and 80's basically don't exist. It's a void in time, an era lost in the unknown.

As far as the crowds, I'm pretty sure the entire 90's were mostly packed houses. We were a perennial playoff team and almost always had a stout D, which made for a loud Arrowhead. I'd imagine Frank Gansz/Marv Levy years had some pretty empty upper bowls with those stinkers of a team. |

When the Chiefs were discussed during the 80s I remember hearing people say that their players looked smaller than the players other teams had. Like they just weren't big enough to play football.

The low point in the 1980's was a game against the Jets I think when there was like 11,000 fans in attendance.

I don't think wearing the team colors really became a thing until the 90s.
Look at the crowds from 1985 World Series |

Yeah, I remember going to Royals games during that era as a kid I would always wear my Royals ball cap, but anything else blue would have just been accidental.

I remember watching games in the 70's and 80's and there were some seriously empty stadiums, especially in the 4th quarter when we were down big with no hope.
I think of some of those games and I shudder. It was the Dark Ages for sure. |

I could go to the stadium the week of the game and buy front row corner endzone tickets in the mid 80s.. And not break the bank either..

Honestly, the only game I ever attended in the 80's was when my high school band played at half-time. They brought in like 10 bands to help put butts in seats. Pretty sad.
