Training camp is going strong. Preseason football is right around the corner.
Time to start thinking about tailgating at the greatest NFL stadium in the world.
Legend has it that the first tailgating started when the first college football matchup took place, Rutgets vs Princeton in 1869 when folks lined one side of the field with picnic blankets fresh fried chicken, potato salad, lemonade, and homeade ice cream for desert.
Some cheerleaders likely encouraged impure thoughts in the men with dresses shockingly above the ankles.
After things were cleaned up and the garbage buried, they lay back in the tall , cool grass and enjoyed a gentle breeze as the clouds drifted by like memories across Gods mind.
That sounds pretty good to your Arrowhead Adventurer nearly 150 years later.
The game is different, the cothing has changed, even the way they got to the game is nowhere near the same.
But the basics will alway stay the same.
Good food, good friends, good football, good fun.
Over the next couple of weeks we will talk about one of the best parts of the Arrowhead experience.
The tailgating.
Some of my coworkers tell me they would rather watch the game on TV.
Good lord. What do you even say to something like that?
Oh well…
See you next week when we will chat some more about grilling, eating, drinking, dancing, and talking about football with some of the most brilliant minds in the game.
Chiefs fans.
