On a cold day, Chiefs fandom heats up as tailgaters gather early at Arrowhead Stadium

The bitter cold that came after a winter storm this weekend did not dampen the spirit of Chiefs fans who flooded into the parking lots of Arrowhead Stadium Sunday ahead of this evening’s game.

Hours before the Kansas City Chiefs take on the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, thousands of fans were tailgating in the Truman Sports Complex.

Many fans had waited in line early in the morning, before the parking lot gates opened at 12:30 p.m. , even as the temperature at Kansas City International Airport dipped to 7 degrees with wind chills of -2 degrees.
