Having been to a good number of OU games in recent years, the last thing needed is more alcohol in the stadium. My guess is that a good number of the folks seated in our section probably missed most of the games they paid some pretty good money to see!
Yeah, slipping in a plastic flask is pretty easy.

There are hundreds if not thousands of tailgaters at the KC Chiefs that never go into the game. Jail broke video feeds on big screens, smokers and grills going on everywhere is the norm. It's actually quite the party.

I've been to Kaufmann Field to watch the Royals, but I've never been across the lot to Arrowhead (though I did see the Chiefs play the Buccos in a pre-season game at Owen Field). That's one of the feetsball venues I really want to see in person.

I was watching the Cowboys-Skins game on Sunday, and they showed the noise meter on the end zone big screen. It was a whopping 94dB, and all I could think of was the Chiefs fans who'd be thinking, "why are you bothering to show that wimpy little number? We do better than that 30 minutes after the game."

That parking lot is a half mile long between the baseball and football stadium. We stayed at the Holiday inn on the edge of the lot when we were following the Chiefs. Its an outdoor stadium which in my opinion has the best sound system I've been around.
Been to many Cowboy games in the old stadium and you couldn't understand what the announcer was saying. Haven't been to any games in the new stadium.
Probably never attend another NFL game as long as the kneeling bastards keep up their BS.

We lived in the KC area while Arrowhead was being built. My dad said they claimed that there wouldn't a bad seat in the house, and by all accounts, that's true. I'm not sure if he got to go to any games there before his company moved us back to Oklahoma.

A company I used to work for hired bus trips to the chiefs games and negotiated a Bus, Hotel, Game package that we always signed up for.
Pretty cheap deal and we had a bar in the back of the bus. Good times!!
