First time to Arrowhead- Need some info

[oregonchieffan58]

I am a die hard Chiefs fan and am finally flying into KC to watch our beloved Chiefs play Oakland (sept 20). I have been a fan since the Deron Cherry days but have always went to sports bars or ordered Directv to watch the games over the years. I am obviously beside myself at the chance to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead.

I am needing to know some info before I buy tickets to the game.

I want to sit in the 100 level on the Chiefs side (sections 116 thru 121 -don't wanna have to look at the backside of Raider pukes during the game)

1) Is there a row too low that the players block the view of the game? Trying to get as close as I can, but with having an unobstructed view.. what has been your experince in regard to aa good close seat

2) Any suggestions on what Hotel I can stay at to simply walk to the game?

Thanks in advance guys and gals

good info guys, I appreciate it. Sounds like if I get tickets anywhere they will end up being great...maybe not so much on the corners up high, but everything else is good. I think that will help me get tickets. I knew that I wouldn't want to be behind the Raiders, as I would want to spit and/or puke having to look over them the whole game :-)

I guess its not surprising, but Fader fans actually show up to games at arrowhead? I am sure they run in packs

Behind the raiders bench makes no difference because you are in a sea of red . don't shy away from one side if the prices are different The visitors side is the sunny side so if its a hot day , prepare to drink some beer. and if its a cold day, its nice not to be in the shade. I was behind the dolphins bench last year and it was like 10 below wind chill. My beer was freezing in my cup. I cant imagine how cold it was on the Chiefs side in the shade that day.I go to priceline.com and got the Sheraten across the road from Arrowhead. The rooms are very, very, nice. I put in sports complex for the area and 3+ stars for the type of hotel and I got my last two rooms for $50 a night.Its very well worth the money. There is a Denny's right across the street so breakfast is easy. Stay away from the breakfast buffet at the Shreraten, its expensive and really not that good. ( from what I hear ). Oh and take a right coming out of the Shreaten and its like two blocks to Sports Nutz which is a place you must visit as a chiefs fan .On Saturdays before the games they would have one or two of the players come and sign autographs and had live music, food, entertainment from Like from 12 to 4 .So in my opinion, The Shreraten(sp?) the holiday in sports complex, or the drury Inn are all within a block or two from Arrowhead. If you get a chance go to LC's BBQ its friggen awsome. Its a little place ( kind of a dive ) but the food is sooo good. Authentic KC BBQ at its best. and its just a few miles from the Hotel. I try to go to a different BBQ place everytime I go to Arrowhead and Its the best so far. Gates, Bandannas, and a few others dont even compare to it.the Burnt ends are the bomb. http://www.roadfood.com/Reviews/Over...spx?RefID=2640

We went to the draft party and stayed at the Sheraton kiddy corner from arrowhead and it was awesome!!!! YZILLA and I went on line weeks prior and received great rates!! 50-60 per night via priceline. We will be tailgating together along with the mighty CANADA so keep intouch with us until then!!! I usually get my tix from stub hub online if that helps. I know they arent cheap bought I definately prefer lower level all the way!! Cant wait to see ya @ the game! OH, and bring your drinkin boots if you plan on tailgatin with the CHIEFSCROWD!!!!

Yo Nate , Check my Youtube videos in my sig below. Ive got em uploaded now.

Thanks for the info guys...September couldn't come soon enough. I will be hitting a few places that you mentioned.... I love me some good food. Sounds like Sports Nutz is gonna take all my money because living out of state its hard to find good chief gear. Canada mentioned sports nutz too...so I will be there.

Loved thos videos on youtube, you are my kind of people. I will definately stay in touch as I would love to meet you guys and have a blast at the game.

I most likely will get my tickets from stubhub too. yeah it is a little spendy, but its worth it to me. Just trying to figure out where the hell I am gonna sit.

I have narrowed it down to:

Section 118 almost half way up (row 18) OR Section 110 (row 1). I obviously wanna have good tickets for my first game (bring the wife too) so the 118 tickets would be great, but how can I ignore row 1 behind the goal posts....ah decisions decisions

Honestly If It was me , Traveling that far , Go get seats towards center. If your wife is with you ,you will be happy you did. Endzone seats are cool as hell when the games near you coming at you. Center of the field you get to see the plays open up and get to see more of the game.Im a bigfan of seeing the plays from both points of view rather than watching it from one end especially if it means behind the goalposts. Just my two cents.

Thanks YZILLA, I think you may be right. What row do you like sitting in? Obviously I am going back and forth with up as close as I can (row 2-9) or up a little bit to see more of the field (20-30). What do you think? Realizing that either would be great, just want your take
