Here's what Clark Hunt said 3 years ago about a Chiefs game in London

Way back in 2012 we ran a poll asking Kansas City Chiefs fans how they would feel about playing a road game in London. I specified "road game" and not "home game" because I already knew how Chiefs fans would feel about a home game in London -- they would hate it.

The Chiefs today announced plans to give up a home game and play the Detroit Lions in London next year. The reaction from Chiefs fans not in London has been predictable -- they don't like it.

When I was looking at our old story on a possible London game I came across a few quotes Clark Hunt gave to the Kansas City Star in 2011.

''It's something we may be interested in. It's something we would be open to. I definitely can't sit here and say that we've made the decision that it would be good for us. There are a lot of things that go into that decision. It's something we would want to discuss with the community. We understand that taking a home game away from the market affects people. We would want to make sure there would be support for it.''

''That's something that weighs very much in my mind. 'We have a tremendous home-field advantage at Arrowhead. That would be one of the main considerations.''
