The first one I can remember as the QB watching Chiefs games was Steve DeBerg that would have put me at about 6-9 years old when I became a fan and really started following the team. [Reply]
First games I remember going to were in 1975, one was Livingston, the other Dawson. I was 5, but my dad had been drilling knowledge into me since before the verbal skills formed. There were not alot of kids, much less little girls, at the stadium that I recall, and none at all in the area of my dads seats. I was definitely a novelty to everyone in my church dress waving a chiefs pennant and for the colder game, in my awesome red church coat. The game traditions were quite different and I remember alot of people had these long plastic horns that they cheered with and everybody was pretty dressed up.
Both games were won and for a few years the regular season ticket holder group in those seats called me lucky charm when I was there even though the winning really didn't continue. I would guess historically I have seen way more wins than losses. but not in the 70s. [Reply]

I think that's cool as all get out.
I'm one of them. DT and the chiefs were my favorite team to play with. Just so happened that when I started getting into football the Chiefs were on TV a lot as well, even in SE Virginia [Reply]
I voted Deberg, because he was the Quarterback when I started to become aware of the team. I didn't really become a 'fan' until the Marty/Montana years though. [Reply]
I became a fan after Super Bowl I was 7.
At that time the popular teams in the Mid West were Minnesota , Green Bay and KC.
I got PJs with KC logo and never looked back.
However I have very few memories of actually watching Len Dawson [Reply]
