Tailgate Timeline

With cheese-hat-wearing fans coming to Arrowhead (1 Arrowhead Drive, 816-920-9300) today for the Chiefs vs. Packers game, it's time to show Green Bay types what tailgating is all about. So here are tips from Monte Short — aka Arrowman, the season-ticket holder who wears opposing team jerseys with a crapload of Chiefs arrows sticking out of him. First, start preparing your outfit at least two days early — that's how long it takes Short to punch-press and glue together foam arrows. Next, cook your grub the night before so you can make the 8:30 a.m. opening of the Truman Sports Complex gates. By 10 a.m., finish breakfast and down your last Bloody Mary, allowing time for photos with fellow tailgaters. Be in your seat by 11:15, and don't plan on taking off until after 5 so you can "cuss and discuss" in the parking lot. After that, it's just a few days until you start making your outfit for the Denver game.
