A Season Ticket Holders Responsibilities To A Disfunctional Team

Home » Chiefs » A Season Ticket Holders Responsibilities To A Disfunctional Team

Those of you who read my posts know that I’m a regular game attendee. For nearly three years I’ve attended every home game, even dragged myself to the preseason fiasco’s. On Oct 25nd, that streak will come to an end.

Besides being a KC Chiefs fan I’m also a pretty decent muskie fisherman. This year a conflict arose between the Oct 25 game and a muskie tournament I regularly fish. I recently won a tournament, and with the Chiefs losing record decided that muskie fishing seemed more productive for that weekend than dragging myself to another game.

So the streak ends. Not a big thing, and its a decision with multiple positives such as relieving the pressure of feeling obligated to attend, as well as less posts (about the game day fun) which hopefully will lead to a fresher content. I’ve every intent on attending the rest of the seasons home games.

The end of my streak brings a question to mind, I wanted to air it with my fellow Addicts.

The NFL figures reflect that something like less that 2% of team fans actually attend a game each year. But one thing I have learned is that the one message fans can send that the ownership hears loud and clear is an empty stadium.

Thus the delimma.

I’m currently on board with Jeremy, I think we are going in the right direction, but:

What do you think Addicts? By attending every game even during the depressing last two Herm Edwards years, was I showing support for my beloved team, or was I sending a message to ownership that I was fine with the current cluster bang?

But to answer your question Randy, If I had season tix, I would probably attend every game, for the sheer thrill and experience of being there. I usually go to one Chiefs game each season, even last year, which was not worth the money. I'm like you, I live 3 hours away, so that is a factor, that makes it a bit more tedious. I would advise you to use your heart, do what it tells you. I don't think empty seats frighten owners, otherwise wouldn't Jacksonville really be trying to improve?

I'm assuming you mean either October 18th or October 25th. The Chiefs do not play on October 22nd.

Luke sometimes my mind wanders at the games and I usually pay attention to the crowd reaction. Loud cheers = favorable Chiefs call. Not the situation Sunday.....

I'm not sure about sending messages to the Owner, but I can tell you that the number of Cowboys fans at Sunday's game made me sick to my stomach. I was literally surrounded and felt like I was at an away game. I put the ratio at 60/40 Cowboys to Chiefs fans.
