Black Hole, Son! Adam Does The Coliseum

My latest over at FOX Sports is up, and it’s about my trip to the Coliseum to watch the Chiefs-Raiders game decked out in red. Here’s an excerpt:

I’m getting older — I’m more like Johnny Carson nowadays than Johnny Knoxville — but I definitely walked on the wild side during the first 30 years of my life. Nothing I’ve ever done, however, has been more dangerous than what I did this past Sunday.

I ventured into the Coliseum for the sold out Kansas City Chiefs-Oakland Raiders game decked out from head to toe in Chiefs apparel. Bright red jersey. Bright red hat. I’m 6-foot-3, too, so I definitely stood out.

Go over and check it out. Also, we’d love to hear any war stories about rocking red in Raiderland, so…

(One other note: That Raiders super fan, and I’m blanking on his alias, stays with Arrowman when he comes to Kansas City. Apparently, there is a fellowship of the superfans around the NFL and they all have each other’s contact info. Pretty cool.)

Addicts, have any of you been behind enemy lines at the Coliseum? Planning on going in the future?

Ha, awesome article and picture on the main NFL page, that is sweet…I got the link from AP earlier…

Glad you survived and we are not doing an Addict Reunion/Adam Best funeral this week…

Sigh of relief and glad you survived but I’d bet qualcomm stadium is filled by more people on welfare than Oakland. I’ve been told of Chiefs fans in their 60’s, doing nothing more than wearing a Chiefs shirt have been threatened there.
