-GoBengals- Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Figured I would share some random thoughts of this trip. 1. arrowhead is old and mediocre. But has better seats than Lucas oil (worst ever). 2. they added tons of color panels and signs to take away the “rape cave” feel the hallways had last time I was there. 3. it’s not that loud. PBS gets to 93-98 decibels during games. Max arrowhead output today was 102. I was metering. I was in the lower bowl. Not mid field but close enough. It’s all marketing fluff they sell to the media and their own fans. The put the word “decibels” ont the Jumbotron and fake noise waves to try to pump crowd. 4. these fans man. Some of the dumbest ever. They bitch worse than any fan base I have ever seen. Cocky, soon as we hit our seats bitched about calls from last game. And scoffed at any bad calls ever gone their way. 5. to make the last one worse, the stadium shows some odd close up replays, like random holding which happens on most plays. They show replays all game. Dude next to me literally said “how can they get away with this, they haven’t shown any missed holds on us” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he legit thought the stadium was just showing unbiased plays. Unreal. On the flop of their guy trying to get a call for being pushed he said “now see you can get away with that it’s blatant”. I fake flopped like 8 times in the aisle and asked him if that was Lebrun James out there. 6. their mascot is a wolf. The wolf mascot dressed as Spider-Man at one point. Why, to all of it, why? 7. parking is a shitshow. Just paved fields of idiots parking like assholes. Burn it down and start over. 8. props for after the game. Everyone was civil and cool. Fans congratulated us. Said go win it all for the afc. Etc. complete 180 to titans fans and raiders fans. 9. to the drunk girl in sec 133 row 12. Get your life together. 10. rednecks everywhere. I shouldn’t have been surprised. It’s Missouri. But all of them. 11. techn9ne was there to perform. Met him long ago. Nice guy. Anghellic is a fun album. 12. T-Mobile sucks. 13. go bengals.

membengal Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Great post. That’s extra interesting on the noise. You were there at PBS against raiders - we got PBS to 102 several times and got it to 104 once from what I observed. Glad to hear it is comparable.

Cricket Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 I’ve heard that at Arrowhead, it is much louder on the field vs. in the stands…which COULD be a thing. In any case, they weren’t loud enough to derail the Bengal freight train. [You could clearly hear the “Who Dey” chant on TV at one point, which was pretty neat.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often you you hear the opposing fans cheering and chanting at Arrowhead? They really brought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 I visited KC several times in the 80s and 90s. Nice town. Clean. Went to Kaufman Stadium, actually worked for Kaufman for a while, and it was nice. As far as cheers go…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphead Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Bengals had 4 penalties for 30 yds. I think only 1 was a false start. I heard a lot of Hu-Dey chants breaking out on my TV. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ@w Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 On their Mascot, my wife and I were trying to figure out what it was and now since you wrote about it we now know so thanks on that and like you said, why? But the character was funny the whole game, shaking his butt at Money to miss, trying to push the goal post for Money to miss, but the best one was when Money made the game winner and he fell down and died. 😂 Who Dey!

I suppose most things they could use would be “PC”. But a wolf of all things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda looked like a tall, skinny, rat. I did notice him falling like he was shot when "Shooter" kicked the FG. Funny shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
