Bulldog, I briefly lived in Westchester, so I have no choice but to give you a pass.

It is completely different to enjoy watching a player than supporting the team that player is on. Besides, he spend half the year in a Royals jersey. That would make it a little confusing for any young fan. Bo was an awesome speciman. There are few men that could match him in size, speed, and character…..ever. It is a shame that his career was cut so short.

As for the empty seats, I have to disagree. As much as I love this team and relish the fact that our attendance has always ranked very high, I am pleased with the result. The only thing fans could do to voice their displeasure with the direction of the franchise was to hit the organization where it was most noticeable, the bottom line. Financial reports are key to anyone running a business, especially someone new to controlling the business like Clark. Even though corporate sponsors eased some of the pain by picking up many tickets, they couldn’t make up for the money lost in concessions and merchandise sales.

Frankly, I believe Chief fans should be proud that we affected our team in a positive manner. New GM, new coach, and a completely new attitude. I cannot remember being this excited in an offseason for…….well, a long time.

Bulldog–When Bo Jackson was playing for the Raiders I was 8. 8-year olds can’t be fair weather fans. They can only be 8.

Nathan, I do understand your loyalty, passion, and I understand some of your frustrations since I am a die-hard Chief fan living in the Chicago area. What I do not understand, however, is this statement:

Even now as an adult who understands the full implication of the statement Iâ€™m about to make, I wonâ€™t deny that in the late â€™80s I was a Chiefs fan who rooted for the Los Angeles Raiders.

You, my friend, are what I would call a fair weather fan! What you did, by rooting for the Raiders is the equivalent of a Cub fan changing mid-season to start rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals, or a Chicago Blackhawks fan to start rooting for the Detroit Red Wings. I have now lived in the Chicago area longer than I ever lived in Kansas City (I grew up there), one of my best friends lives in the Los Angles area, and I would stop watching football before I sold my allegiance to another team. I moved to Chicago, when I got out of the Navy, in 1985. Yes, they were a fun team to watch, but if they were playing the Chiefs, I was always rooting for them. Since I have lived in Chicago, every time the Chiefs have played the Bears I have been there except for this last years game, preseason games included!

Yes, the Chiefs fans can be embarrassed by the fact that there were a lot of empty seats last year, but, that was the fans speaking out against management! If you look closely at the last 20 to 25 years, you will see that the Chiefs are consistently one of the highest drawing NFL Franchises in fan attendance.

Kansas City is the sixth smallest market in the National Football League, yet they have had the second highest attendance over the past decade. The Chiefs have sold out almost 150 consecutive home games. Arrowhead Stadium is frequently referred to as the loudest stadium in the entire NFL.

Chief Fans do not need to embarrassed by the fact that they stayed away last year, by staying away they showed Clark Hunt their displeasure in the way things were being run, and basically forced his hand. If Herm Edwards and Carl Peterson had been allowed to come back this year, even if they had a great draft, until the Chiefs won five or six games, I don’t believe there would have been many fans in Arrowhead.

Just the opinion of a educated, misplaced but loyal and dedicated Chief Fan!

I see where youre coming from but if the cubs had a winning percentage of .187 in 2 years I bet the stadium would start to empty a little bit. Especially if they had a coach as bad as Edwards.
