Lets paint this country RED!

Now I am in no way a photoshop genius, actually I have no clue how to insert a cool Chiefs helmet into the picture so that is the best I can do! Once again this idea came to me after seeing the ArrowheadPride Twitter List. Years ago on KCChiefs.com they started the Chiefs nation. I remember clicking on there and reading how the Chiefs had at least one season ticket holder in 48 states! I dont remember off hand how many foreign countries had a season ticket holder but it was in the double digits. Im sure the past 3 seasons have been more than enough to drop the number significantly, not including the current state of our economy, people are going to want to stay closer to home and enjoy the game.
Now some people on here from all the 50 states and Canada, know of some great spots to hang out with fellow Chiefs fans. I remember seeing the video of Pioli at a Chiefs bar in Philadelphia before the game with the Eagles. I thought is was pure awesome how the Chiefs fans in Philly represent, and it even got Pioli in town and they got an autographed helmet from him! (can't find the link if someone has it can they post it?)
Here is a write up of the Chiefs bar in Philly: Big Charlie's Saloon
Now what I am thinking is that if each of us Chiefs fans here on AP can post a location, know of somewhere awesome to catch the game with fellow Chiefs fans we should share it. When it gets closer to the season I will post this up again for anyone new who joins inbetween now and then.
When I was in NYC this winter I almost had the chance to go watch a Chiefs game at the Village Pour House with AA/AP's Patrick Allen. Much to my dismay there was a blizzard the Saturday before the game and I was stranded in Queens, unable to make it into Manhattan to catch the game. I watched from the computer totally bummed as we got Cribbed by the Browns.
For anyone and everyone out there, that travels, or cant afford tickets to the game, doesn't live in Kansas City, or cant afford Directv or Dishnetwork or someone that doesn't carry the game this is for you. Im not asking people to give up their private addresses or anything like that, just if you know of a place in a certain City or State, share the name of it. Some people like to watch the games alone, kudos to you I do as well sometimes. There may be a huge Chiefs draft party going on in somewhere in Arkansas and you may be left out!
I travel alot, usually by car, and would like to know of some places where there is a good Chiefs hangout. Who knows you may be the only Chiefs fan in there last year, but this year you could have a following with you. I say lets get back to painting this country Chiefs RED, lets proudly display our fandom in all the Cities of America (and Canada for the 10 or so APer's Craig mentioned). After all we are the team to beat. :)
So far as of 2 pm CST on March 19th here is the list:
1. "The Golden Q" Hays, Kansas
2. "The Fox & Hound" Metairie/NOLA area
3. "Big Charlies Saloon" in Philly
4. "Kansas City Barbeque" in San Diego, California
5. "The Village Pour House" in NY, NY
6. "Stan's B-B-Q" in Issaquah, WA
7. "Sidelines Sports Bar and Grille" Albuquerque, NM

i'll go first
I live in Lawton Oklahoma and there isnt any Chiefs bar/hangout known. Ive seen a few fans from time to time, but havent found a hangout other my house.
Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.
Hays Kansas
A great bar to watch the Chiefs is “The Golden Q” probably my favorite bar of all time. But really the best place to watch the Chiefs (other than Arrowhead) is at home on the big screen with fellow Chiefs fanatics. The bar is cool too but being half way between Denver and KC there are too many Donkey fans at the bar usually.

Question for you
What is Fort Hays State like? I’m looking into going to grad school and just exploring places nearby (originally from Nebraska but currently living in South Dakota).
The studs from the 2010 draft class will be: DT Ndamukong Suh, S Eric Berry, RB C.J. Spiller, RB Jahvid Best, WR Arrelious Benn, WR Golden Tate, WR Mardy Gilyard, OT Charles Brown, CB Kyle Wilson and S Chad Jones
It's a good place to go to school
It really affordable…nice people. The town isn’t exactly booming but there’s plenty of things to do to fill the time.

There is about 10 members of AP from Canada from what I've ascertained.
There is no Chiefs bar anywhere near Calgary. Infact I have to bribe the bartender in the Sports bars to even get the game on TV. That’s why last year I bought NFL Sunday ticket and drink by myself at home :)

NFL Sunday ticket has been my route for the past 2 season
When i was stationed in California there was a Hooters that was overrun with Eagles fans, it was the official California Eagles Fans Hooters, they had banners and it was all decked out in Eagles stuff. I always went there though, that is why i tried this, to see if there are other places out there that are just Chiefs fans.

Make that 11...
I’m a season ticket holder from Edmonton. And other than Arrowhead, I would agree that Sunday Ticket, my couch, and a beer (or 10) is the best place to watch the Chiefs!

In Metairie/NOLA area
the Fox & Hound has every game on and you can usually get a seat in the corner away from Saints fans and they will put the game on for you. You have to get there early and tell the ahead of time though. I would love to find a better place. Watching it at home on my new 50" HDTV would be ideal, but my apt doesnt face the right direction for a stand up Dish and we are not allowed to attach anything to the building. I am hoping for 2 primetime games this year.

sucks about the apt C&C
good luck finding a new place, any other Chiefs fans ever come in and hang out with you or are you always solo there?
Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.
so far we have:
“the Golden Q” Hays Kansas
“the Fox & Hound” Metairie/NOLA area
“Big Charlies Saloon” in Philly
there has to be more than that!

Don't live there any more, but one of the greatest Chief bars ever is in San Diego
Place called Kansas City Barbeque. It’s in downtown San Diego right next to a train station. Which was great for me. Didn’t have to drive.
They’re a Chiefs bar with great barbeque. It was also the bar that was in Top Gun when Goose was playing the piano. You can’t get better than that.
Here’s it’s web site: http://www.kcbbq.net/
If you’re in the military and stationed at San Diego naval base, it’s a must go
been there several times!
thanks for reminding me the name of it, i forgot exactly what it was called. The have a huge wall painted in the Wizard of Oz movie cover. Lots of Royals stuff there as well! Good one Mushin.

Should have suggested that as a nickname for JC and TJ

in Albuquerque, NM
There’s a nice spot in the NW part of town by my house called ‘Sidelines Sports Bar & Grille’ with usually some semblance of Chiefs Nation there every game day.
Any other APers from ABQ?

We have a very dedicated group of 5
who meet up at Cheers Sports bar in Jacksonville, Fl. every Sunday to watch the Chiefs. Sunday is happy hour all day. $1.50 drafts, $2.00 wells and a very nice big screen that we always get the Chiefs on. Maybe it’s cause we drink so much. Maybe it’s cause I slip the bartender a little skunk for the TV rights.
