Should I wear a rainsuit....

When I go to the Packers Chiefs game this weekend in Arrowhead? I'm a Pack fan and this is my first NFL game and my first game where I'm not rooting for the fan favorites. I don't count my trips to the Metrodome and Evanston as watching games in a "hostile" enviroment. I've asked a couple of my buddies what to expect and they suggested sitting on my hands. Somehow I have a feeling after a few $10 bottles of liquid courage this is going to be tough.

A poncho to block my beloved Aaron Kampman Packer jersey from the local brew might be in my back pocket...

Re: Should I wear a rainsuit....

You will be fine in Packer gear as long as you are not obnoxious. Been to several hostile environments as a Bears fan (Lambeau, Metrodome, Arrowhead, Stl) all in Bears gear and never had a problem. Wife wore her Rodgers jersey to Soldier this year and didnt have any problems. We caught some flak for being together but that was it. Dont mouth off if someone says something to you and you will be fine. Especially this week in KC, Im sure they will be expecting a ton of Packer fans anyway.

Do you have a vag between your legs? Why go to the game if you are scared to root for your team? Watch on TV if that is the case.

I've been to ISU, Minny, and Arizona in my Hawk gear and St Louis, Milwaukee and Cincy in my Cub gear and as long as you don't make an *** of yourself you shouldn't have any problems. The people that end up getting their *** beat while visiting a road stadium are the ones that couldn't keep their mouth shut.

Re: Should I wear a rainsuit....

Was at Arrowhead two years ago to watch Dallas take on the Chiefs.

I am a life long Cowboys fan and was amazed as to how many of us were there that day. I would guess it was a 60/40 split(Cowboys). In my section there was about 1 Chief fan for every 10 of us wearing Cowboy gear.

It was funny as this guy a few rows up supporting his Chiefs yells..."Come on Chiefs fans let's make some noise!". Turns around and says "Oh, I am the only one..."

Re: Should I wear a rainsuit....

I live here in KC and people are really down on the Chiefs and especially Todd Haley. Arrowhead is an awesome place to watch a game, but you won't get the true Arrowhead experience because this year's team sucks so bad. There will be as many Packers fans as Chiefs fans there.

Re: Should I wear a rainsuit....

Great words of advice. I don't see myself starting any fights so I'm ok on that front.

No vag here, I leave those duties to the gf whom I gave these tickets to for her birthday. Funny how I can turn her birthday into a gift to myself!

Anyone else going to the game?

What's the going price for an adult beverage?
