1. They Just HAD To Have Fans!

The entire NBA, MLB, NHL, and nearly all the NFL went empty building.
KC just had to play with fire.
Stupid.

5. For what it's worth, they had good social distancing at Arrowhead.

I even heard just a few hours before the game started that there were still tickets available.

6. Yeah...they jacked ticket prices out the wazoo

Neighbor of mine was thinking about going with others in a block of six tickets. They were $450 a pop for tickets he said were usually around $100 so he said hell no. The crowd was sparse, there could have been a hell of a lot more there and still maintained the distance.

7. I had kind of wondered what the tickets were going for.

Well, about 17,000 people were willing to cough up that amount.
