I've been around for quite a few years, but nobody here really knows me. When I post - it's not semi often, and most of the time, nobody engages in conversation because I don't post often enough. Needless to say, I am here because I love the Chiefs. When I was younger, my mother had club level seasons - and that really ignited the passion. However, since then - I have not been to many games. I was at the 'decibel' game against the Pats, I was at a TNF game against the Broncos a couple of years ago - and that's the last two.
I told the wife how awesome it would be to attend the Championship game, but realistically - I can't afford it. However - I always watch - and I always scream at my TV - a trait I inherited from my mother.
This past week, I entered the drawing for the AFCCG - and was beyond surprised when I ended up winning two seats to it. Thank you all. I immediately had to run out to stores to find "more" cold weather gear, I had to find a baby-sitter as there was no way my 3-year old was going, and I had to prepare myself for the biggest game I'd ever have the chance to attend (If I can't afford a AFCCG, then there is no way I can afford the SB!).
Because it had been so long, we didn't know anyone - and by the time we got to the stadium, my wife and I opted to have a couple of sandwiches in the car and then head in. I left to head in about 2 hours early because I recalled security being a nightmare, but we entered Gate D and there wasn't a single person in line.....
I want to thank all of Chiefsplanet for this opportunity and especially DaFace for running the contest. Getting to meet another CP'er was an amazing experience (I didn't get to meet Tamba though). It'll certainly be something my wife and I won't soon forget and it would not have been possible without all of you.
From the bottom of my heart - thank you all.
Now for some photos!
We had to park about as far away as we could from the stadium, you could barely see it from here!
Here are some picturesque views of the parking lot.
My face!
Here's a few views from our seats. I was quite impressed to be honest. You could see the field very good, and since the angle is quite steep, even a taller guy in front of me made it very easy to see.
A couple of photos after our victory!!!
And quite honestly - the most important photo of all. [Reply]

Not opposed to it if anyone wants to try and run with it. Just not my forte. [Reply]

i didnt introduce myself but i definitely talked to the people to my right, so that should count haha. Kind of a funny story this guy came up to me about 30 minutes before the game claiming we were sitting in their seats and we were looking at it like nope i know im in the right seat. and then he finally showed me his phone tickets and he was in the wrong section. I was like damn somehow daface bought duplicate tickets and they worked for both of us [Reply]

Or we could all get the CP logo tattooed on our foreheads... [Reply]
