It would have taken a lot more than an ice storm to keep Chiefs fans away from the game today.
Huddled under tents and around space heaters in the parking lot of the Truman Sports Complex, tailgaters said they never even considered staying away, even when weather forecasters predicted a winter storm of almost Biblical proportions. Even those who came from as far as Chicago this weekend wouldn’t admit to any second thoughts.
“We were going to be here no matter what,” said Matt Jenkins, a Kansas City native, now living in the Windy City, who brought his family back for the Chiefs’ AFC Divisional playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
