Your heart is pounding and your palms are sweaty. Your adrenaline is pumping. Kickoff is hours away, but you are going through your game-day preparations with a routine that has stood the test of time season after season. You are a pro at this. It's game day! But you won't take your place on the line alongside the other big uglies. You aren't the starting quarterback or even the back-up punter. No. You are a Kansas City Chiefs football fan. Your passion is unbridled. Your love of the game knows no boundaries. You've got your face paint and your lucky jersey. Seconds seem like hours. The hated Raiders are coming to town, or maybe the despised Denver Broncos. Doesn't really matter. It's Sunday. And you are ready for some football. A Super Bowl title. Lamar Hunt. Lenny the Cool. Contact. The X-Factor. Marcus and Joe. DT and Tony G. Mr. Music and Warpaint. All have combined to make up the moments, memories and milestones that endeared this team to thousands of fans throughout its history. For 50 years, the Kansas City Chiefs have taken the field to the roar of the crowd, both in Dallas and Kansas City, as part of the American Football League and later the National Football League. From the days of playing in battered stadiums with no showers to the gorgeous new digs at Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs have a legacy like few other teams. They appeared in the first Super Bowl, became the last AFL team to win a game when they upset Minnesota in Super Bowl IV and produced a list of Hall of Fame greats that roll off the tongues of fans of the Red and Gold. For Chiefs Fans Only! captures the important moments in team history, the legendary players on the field and the personalities off the field in addition to the ever-present, always-vocal Kansas City Chiefs fans touted across the league as the NFL's best fan base. Game day at Arrowhead Stadium is so special for me. When I played at Purdue, we never had a game with 78,000 people. When we started winning, we had 32,000 fans at Municipal Stadium, but the first time I walked into Arrowhead Stadium for the first game against the Miami Dolphins since we'd moved from Municipal it took my breath away looking out and seeing the stands filled with all those fans wearing Chiefs read and gold. Back when we first played at Arrowhead, our bench was on the north side of the field,the sun side. People asked us why we would be over there in the sun when it was 110 degrees in the shade early in the season. That's back when they shot all the games for television with the cameras in the press box and Hank wanted us to be on the side of the field where they would shoot our faces instead of our backsides. That was Hank Stram, and that was a special time to be a part of Arrowhead Stadium. --Len Dawson, Chiefs Hall of Fame quarterback There is something special about Arrowhead Stadium. When I walked into it for the first time, I could smell the barbecue and it smelled wonderful. We'd walk from our car to the stadium and smell that barbecue and I knew what all those television announcers were talking about all those years. It's something you have to experience. And then, you get inside the stadium and see that sea of red. It's just amazing. --Kevin Costner, Actor That Monday Night Football Game against Buffalo was remarkable. The entire stadium was shaking. I've never been in a louder stadium. That was the night Oh, baby, what a play!; was born. When I think back to the great nights of covering football and broadcasting games for the Kansas City Chiefs, they don't get much better than that. And the fans- those wonderful Kansas City Chiefs fans- had a lot to do with it. --Kevin Harlan Bill Althaus is an award-winning columnist for The Examiner in eastern Jackson County, Missouri.
