My thoughts on my journey to thirty-one stadiums around the National Football League.

Stadium #15 - Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City Chiefs
Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO was to become Stadium #15 on the Quest for 31.It was a fairly long 12 hour road trip to Kansas City from Detroit, so we selected the Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs game on Veterans Day Weekend, to allow ourselves the extra day to drive home.I had always heard about how loud Arrowhead Stadium was on Sundays and I distinctly remember how difficult it was for the Kelly-era Buffalo Bills to beat those Chiefs teams of the early nineties on Monday Night Football. So I knew going in that I would be among some real die hard football fans.Crystal and I had a great time tailgating before and after the game and interacting with the local fans, as we made the stadium parking lot tour.The game itself was a fairly completive division rivalry between the first place Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos, but Denver pulled away from the Chiefs in the third quarter and never looked back posting a 27 – 11 win over the hometown team.Not even my Tomahawk Chop chant was enough to inspire a thrilling forth quarter comeback.
