ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — Chiefs Kingdom is known for its support and energy towards its team. A part of the fandom that can go unnoticed is what they do pregame.
Typically, on any sort of game day, definitely have to have the Chiefs gear on,” Chiefs fan Carrie Robaina said. “Cook the same meal every single time, I do it with my family.”
Soup and salad is the meal Robaina has with her family every game day in an effort to help the team win.
“It all started with one of the Super Bowls that we won,” she said. “During the playoffs that year, we always made a different kind of soup and now it kind of stuck.”
Other fans, like season ticket holder Bret Grof, starts every Sunday the same.
“First things for me, it’s red underwear, every Sunday,” Grof said.
Accompanied by Ben Klein, the two Chiefs fans said every Sunday is fun and it’s all about enjoying the game and hoping for a Chiefs win.
“I wake up to a Snapchat from him with some Chiefs music playing,” Klein said. “That kind of gets me going.”
Fans like Jean Fields watch each game wearing the same socks and shoes. Fields said during the game, seats are taken seriously.
“We have to sit in the same seats,” Fields said. “If you’re standing and a touchdown happens, you have to stand the rest of the game.
