Kansas City Chiefs fans react to playing in London: The good, bad and ugly

It's been announced that the Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the Detroit Lions in London next year. The game will be played in Week 8 on the 2015 schedule. Fans based internationally seem to like it (obviously) while those based around Kansas City do not (obviously).

Let's take a peek at some of the reactions I've come across since the announcement came down.

@ArrowheadPride @KCChiefsUK must mean Arrowhead is in the running for a Super Bowl at some point, right?

Imagine if Seahawks gave up a home game to go to London...it would be a riot. Feel bad for Chiefs fans..

@mellinger @adamteicher @kcchiefs @ArrowheadPride @ArrowheadAddict What Chief fan in their right mind is excited about losing a home game??

— Vincent Albano (@Valbano206) November 6, 2014

@ArrowheadPride why does this cost us a home game? Why can't it can't as a road game for both teams and they still get 8 at home? Any idea?

@ArrowheadPride Nothing cool about the London game. Marketing ploy for the NFL; fans lose out on a home game. Gimmick.

The ugly

@ArrowheadPride they better fly me to London then or I'm canceling ST

If the Chiefs raise ticket prices to make up for losing a home game next year I am done

— Jeff Hirst (@JHirst941) November 6, 2014

Another thing: taxpayers put what, $250 million into Arrowhead renovations? So they coughed up money so the Chiefs could give up home game?

— Adam Teicher (@adamteicher) November 6, 2014

@ArrowheadPride @D_1_C I'm already angry enough at losing a game at Arrowhead. If they make me pay for it? My dear god. I'll lose it.

— Max Chilen (@donehavinfun) November 6, 2014

@donehavinfun @ArrowheadPride I'm with you. If I have to pay,I won't renew. Just on principles
