Attending my first Chiefs game
It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally planning to make the big trip to visit Kansas City from Australia to see my Chiefs play. With this thread I'm mainly keen to suss out the seating situation at Arrowhead, but any general advice or useful information to know when visiting Kansas City would be great to hear.

I've been in touch with a ticket rep, so generally know how the ticket buying process works and I'm ready to grab a couple of home game tickets shortly after the schedule is released this week. I plan on going to the home opener, so I have my fingers crossed that there will be at least two home games in the first three weeks of the season. A couple of basic questions I have:
  • Where are the best seats at Arrowhead? Either midfield or an endzone might be the obvious choices, but if anyone can provide specific advice on this that would be great. i.e. best value seats for the price, best view of the field/team, etc. I'm aware the ticket prices are high at the moment but it is what it is.
  • Is there anything to do at Arrowhead during the week when games aren't being played and during away games? I.e. tours of the stadium, Chiefs related events, etc.
And about the City:
  • What are the must do's and must see's in Kansas City? Chiefs related or otherwise.

Aside from Chiefs home games, I'm hoping to catch at least one Mizzou and/or K-State game, as well as a Royals game and Sporting Kansas City match (depresso I know, but when in Rome right). A trip to the Pro Football HOF would also be on the list if at all possible. I'll probably bump this thread a few times over the coming months with more questions, but decided to get the ball rolling by hearing what the upstanding Kansas Citians of the Planet have to say first!

Cheers

Congratulations!

You won't find a bad seat in Arrowhead, but sitting in the lower level probably provides the best overall experience.

During the week, tours are availabe at Arrowhead.

Plan to stay downtown, not near the stadium. The stadium is off the beaten path and there's not much to do out there in terms of restaurants, shopping, entertainment, etc. You'll have a much better time staying in the downtown area. Look at downtown proper, River Market, Crossroads, Union Station area. These are all along the street car route, and will allow you to travel through the KC downtown area for free without the need for a car.

Definitely visit the WW1 museum while you're here. Australia played a major role (over 300k soldiers) in WW1, and several Aussie uniforms and relics are on display in the museum.

Also, see some live jazz while you're here. The Green Lady Lounge is my favorite – grab a cocktail there one evening and take in the prohibition era vibes. Also worth visiting if you're into live music is Knucklehead's Saloon, which is in Electric Park near the J. Reiger Distillery. They have live blues/country/rock music every day and some of the cheapest drink prices in town.

Have fun!

If you're there for the first three weeks of the season there is a good chance it will still be hot as balls.


Then again being from Australia maybe it will be perfect for you.


Just go to the Plaza and downtown ffs don't go see the Roos lmao

I wouldn't bother with any of the bbq joints mentioned the best BBQ is near the Stadium in Raytown, Harp BBQ 6633 Raytown Rd, Raytown, MO. Best I've had anywhere just try it. Its in the Raytown Center Shops. People kept telling me to try it so we were out that way and they made me a believer. Now when my wife is craving the mall Independence Center we slip over to Rattown for BBQ. Burnt ends are awesome also get a side of the sweet potato burnt ends. You can thank me later!

This dude Q's

Another thing to consider while you're here is visiting a range. It will probably the only chance you'll ever have to fire a gun.

I work at a range now, and we often get foreigners who come in wanting to shoot. As long as they have passports and are from a country on the accepted list, which includes Australia, they're good to go. They pretty much universally enjoy the experience.
