Let's talk about the Kansas City Football Curse. The Kansas City Chiefs move from their original home to Arrowhead Stadium, and they are never the same. In fact, they struggled for several years to become mediocre, then when they did manage to get a good team together, they couldn't finish. Now, we are looking at the second season of the Kansas City Command (formerly Brigade) at the Sprint Center, their original home being Kemper Arena, and they are off to their second dismal season.
Hey, did you think changing the name would break the curse? Or did you think it would lose the stigma that the Kansas City Brigade made a very poor showing their first year at Sprint, not only with their stats, but ticket sales? The truth will soon be known. As we are looking at the first KC Command home game for 2011 coming up this weekend against the Iowa Barnstormers, will they break their perfect record of ... wait for it ... 0 wins and 3 losses? Are the fans going to see a repeat performance of the spanking that they got at the hands of the Spokane Shock where they lost by 27 points?
No, I didn't purchase Season Tickets for 2011. I talked to a broker, we looked at the prices, but the seats I wanted didn't come at the price I really could justify spending ... not after the downfall of the Brigade. What I will be doing, however, is making it to one game this season ... Scout Night on April 16th vs the Arizona Rattlers. And maybe, just maybe I'll consider June 4th when my original AFL Favs, the Chicago Rush, come to Kansas City.
After that? Well, let's just say that I am holding out for a return to someplace like Kemper Arena or someplace OTHER than Sprint Center.
