The only thing I know for sure is parking is $22 at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Country Club Plaza and Crown Center are not that close to the P& L District.To give you and idea. CCP is around 47th and Main, CC is around 25th and main and the P&L D is around 13th and main. So there would be a lot of walking in some pretty busy areas.

The hotels are directly across from the stadium. Basically it's walking the distance of a professional team parking lot. I have no clue what they would be considered mile wise but we've walked it.

Here are some links for the hotels across from the stadiums.

YIKES! Are there other places nearby where we could park for less? I mean, I CAN walk pretty far. It's just that I'm not wild about it!

Also, how far ahead of time should we leave for the game if we are staying, say, near Crown Center or Country Club Plaza? Since the Chiefs aren't doing very well right now, can we still expect a big traffic jam heading to the stadium? Any tips re: in that regard would also be appreciated!

Thanks for the replies!

I don't know of any cheaper parking. When the games were sold out people use to park on the grass outside the ticket booth without paying. Maybe someone in here could say if they still do that??

We use gate 4 to get in..it's always less crowded. You may want to consider the chiefs bus

I'm not sure how much time to alot for the driving. We always come from the east side and arrive early to tailgate so traffic is not horrible. I'd leave at least an hour early from either location.

Gates open at 9:30am and there is an initial rush with the tailgaters to get there early...then traffic dies down a bit until closer to gametime....we get there right when the gates open but I'd allow for at least an hour if driving.

I'd suggest the chiefs express bus as well unless you want to get there early and check out the tailgating (which is better than the Chiefs this year).

yes the chiefs are not that hot this year but traffic does not reflect that. we tailgate for every game. and watch constant traffic coming in_ FYI mlbcrusier the game is Sunday noT Saturday as mentioned in your post

Woops! Slip of the tongue! I knew it was Sun. Guess I made the mistake because we WERE arriving on Sat. Trip is off. (Relative on the opposing team is injured!) Maybe next yr????
