Chiefs parking changes

[Sorce]

Just came across this.

TL;DR; If you pay cash at the gate parking is increased $10, if you buy a pass ahead of time it's still $30.

The Royals have shoved it up the Chiefs ass as far as popularity goes. It might work this year but another 4-12 season should just about do the franchise in.

I don't care that much about the prices. Prices rise. It's just a fact of life.

But it has been a worse experience for several years now. Slower to get in, slower to get out. More hassle on where you can park, splitting up long time friends. And now, for the reward for buying a premium parking pass, I may have to park out in the boonies if I don't get there early enough.

Yeah, let me just drive out to fuggin Arrowhead to avoid the $5 fee.

Seems like when they say "improve the fan experience" it means sending out the gestapo to hassle a bunch of grown adults about staying within the lines.

Succinct.

Again, paying for a Red pass vs paying at the gate is a savings of $82.50 assuming you buy online and go to all 10 home games -2 of which are preseason.

However, if you don't give a shit about preseason and pay at the gate eight times it costs you $320 whereas the pass for ten games is $317.50 with convenience fee included...

The red pass doesn't guarantee you any better of a parking location considering cash payers have access to everything not Gold or Platinum.

Assuming they don't raise the fee on a game by game basis and you don't give a shit about going to preseason games, just pay at the gate..

A bunch of minimum wage workers with God complexes make it their mission to fill every single slot regardless of where you actually want to park.

I think Mark does outstanding work.

aslong as I can drink my busch light in our 2 combined tents with all the food and feexin's 3 hours before the game. I don't care. If you dont allow me of that privilege, there will be hell to pay

[MMXcalibur]

Watching from home is best anyways.

[Hammock Parties]

I will never, ever pay for parking at Arrowhead ever again.

Just gonna get a drop off/pick up at the Taco Bell and be done with it.

Guarantee they start doing this sooner rather than later. Actually surprised they haven't already. The so-called "dynamic pricing" model is a crock of shit. In my experiences, the prices never seem to drop for events that have low demand, yet they sky-rocket for big games. Completely one-sided.

Right.

A Taco Bell being the drop off spot for the sports complex might be the saddest thing ever.

It isn't the official spot. The tourism building and lot across the street from it is, but it is sometimes difficult for the cars dropping off to get back out onto Blue Ridge Cutoff when the police don't direct the flow properly. Sometimes it works great, other times the Taco Bell is just a better option for the driver.

Exactly.
