Nice to meet you all. This is my first post on this forum. I've been a chiefs fan since I was a teenager but I joined the Army right out of high school and was never stationed close to Arrowhead stadium.

Now that my tour is up I'll be trying to make it up to games a couple times a year now. So here are my questions.

1) My wife and I are staying at the Sheraton across from Arrowhead and will be walking over to the stadium. Are there tents set up in the parking lot where people are selling BBQ? This is our first NFL game period so the whole "tailgating" experience is completely new to us but we would like to experience the environment.

2) When can you enter into the stadium prior to the game? We would like to walk around inside the stadium for awhile prior to the start of the game.

Thanks for any responses. Can't wait for my first Chiefs game!!

GO CHIEFS!
