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

If you're really interested in shooting, and I'm around that weekend, I'd be happy to take you out to a range that will allow us to safely shoot whatever. I've got multiple AR-15s and pistols to play with. We could even shoot some clay with shotguns if you're interested in that. Give you the proper MO experience...

You can reach most major cities within a ~2.5 to 3 hour flight from KC though, so your options really aren't all that limited if you have a few days to kill.

I'd personally say no to the Ozarks unless you're planning on camping or love boating, but haven't really spent a ton of time there to say what else is there, either.
Chicago would be cool. Will definitely consider going for a day or two. If I recall correctly the cheapest intercity flight from KC is to Chicago.

Hm that's good to know. I asked the guy if resell/swapping tickets is an option and he said it can be, but the answer wasn't exactly clear. What's the situation with reselling or moving seats? And do you think other methods of sourcing tickets are better and do prices vary depending on the source? i.e. stubhub, seatgeek and the like. Really my main concern is missing out on a good seat.

I haven't lived in the KC area since I was a baby, and I've only been to one range down there. IIRC it was in Lee's Summit - I took my aunt there to shoot for the first time a few years ago. Don't remember the name or much about it, unfortunately. But ranges in the area shouldn't be hard to find.

Lots of local ranges restrict shooting anything over ~2500 FPS, eliminating ARs and other riflles. But Frontier Justice gives no ****s. You can take your AR rifle/pistol in there and shoot green tip if you want. As long as you don't wave your gun in anyone's face they won't bother you.

If you actually have an FFL3 license and have ownership of fully auto, they will allow you to shoot there. I've seen it...

And while others know more about this than me, I'll comment that I've been to a dozen or so games over the years, sitting in all sorts of different places, and there's not a bad seat in the house. It's a really well designed stadium from a fan perspective.
