Arrowhead Adventures! Arrowhead History!

by Chiefs

Aaaaah.....The Stories These Folks Could Tell! (yardbarker.com)

It was a couple of years ago when the Saints came to Arrowhead to play our Kansas City Chiefs. I was sitting in the upper level back then, an old man I never really noticed in past games tapped me on the shoulder. He asked me if I knew what was special about this game.  I told him I didn’t.

“I was here the day that Hank Stram returned to Arrowhead for the first time after he was fired”, he told me in a gravely voice.  “This time he was the enemy. They never should have fired Hank Stram” he whispered.
He told me “that Manning kid” was throwing for the Saints that day. Wow, that really got me thinking. I’d seen both Manning brothers play at Arrowhead. This guy had seen their father, Archie.   I asked him and he indeed confirmed it. He had seen all three Manning play in Kansas City. Where else in the NFL but One Arrowhead Drive……
A fascinating tale, for me anyway. I love history. Especially NFL history. And of course if you love NFL history, Arrowhead is the place to be.
 
I have seen a lot of history makers play at Arrowhead, and a lot of history making plays. What about you AA’rs?
Who and what have you seen at the greatest NFL stadium in the world?

Wow you saw that ! I'm jealous nemoi!

My most vivid memory of Arrowhead was bitter sweet. The game that Derrick Thomas sacked Seahawks Dave Krieg seven times. I was elated! Seconds to go and I knew we had won the game. I bent over to gather my stuff from under my seat, getting ready to head to the parking lot and heard a collective groan. I bolted up and asked what happened? We lost the game with a touchdown pass in the final seconds and I didn't even see it. It's just a good thing I can bury those few seconds under under all my other great memories at Arrowhead.

Haven't been to many games, but I remember being at a Nov. game in 2005 when Vermeil went for the TD instead of the FG to win the game against the Raiders. I remember Larry Johnson catching a little pass over the middle and running it all the way down to the goalline with just seconds left and then punching it in. That was awesome.

I remember that game it was a good one.

Excellent post by the way Lyle. We have to meet up next year.

Yeah man, once I figure out what game(s) I'll be at.

Lyle that Monday night game was the most fantastic time I ever had at Arrowhead. PERIOD. not sure if was the "Arrowhead is back" feeling or what but I have never seen it better. The Bills game this year was damn close.

It's from my time at AP, but here's a post I did about my MNF game experience from week 1 of this season. That was my best Arrowhead memory. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2010/9/15/1691247/kansas-city-chiefs-kool-aid-a-cup

plus i always look for jenna on the field she is so hot.

Oh wow I remember than Cinci game Addict, I was there of course! It was awesome to see Dick on the field, he always had command of his troops thats for sure. UNLIKE HERM! GREAT STORY ROBB THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! !!!!!

I have to say I have only been to 3 games at Arrowhead and unfortunatly my favorite Chiefs game was 2009's drubbing of the Donkey's at Arrowhead West. I got to watch Jamal Charles run all over the Donkey's and was 5 rows away from the sideline where DJ took two interceptions to the house!! With six minutes left my boss, and donkey fan, looked and me and said "I'll be in the car" and left for the parking lot. THAT is still my favorite game I have seen in person.

Lots Of Good Memories But What Had To Be My Best Memory Was In Dick Vermeils Final Game As Coach We Won That Game Against Cincy That Game Just Had So Many Emotions The Spirits At Arrowhead At The Time Were Great I Actually Cried A Little Half Are Team Left After That Season.

It is isnt it? Another Arrowhead story I could tell. The people involved in the event found a white card in their seat and were told to hold it up at a certain time. The stealth flew over WOOOOM its silent until it gets to you, then roars. I never have figured out how they do that. That place is the coolest place in the world!

that was cool to see on TV - I thought it was special effects at first

That picture is BEAUTIFUL!
