The Chiefs will host their fifth straight AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium, following the Cincinnati Bengals’ win over the Buffalo Bills. Lots of fans will come to town for the game — which means a business boost for local bars and restaurants. Charlie Hoopers, a sports bar in Brookside, is usually packed on match days. “It’s really fun to watch them get excited and have a good time,” server Abby Roumas said. “More people are coming. People are stacked from the bar to the wall. There’s no more room. Everyone’s just standing.” Home games mean a lot of work – especially during the playoffs. “If it’s a home game, we have a crowd after the stadium,” Roumas said. “Now that the playoffs are starting, we have more and more fans coming, especially if we win.” Now Kansas City will host another game. Chiefs fans are excited to have home field advantage for the AFC Championship. “I love it because our energy is amazing out there and I think the fans would be a part of winning,” Julie Ferguson said. “I like to think that we are part of the success.” Fans can’t wait for the rematch against Joe Burrow and the Bengals. They hope to watch the Chiefs in another Superbowl. “My confidence level is a 10,” Monique Dukes said. “We’ll be there.” Fans remember that this is a rematch from last year’s AFC Championship. The match went into extra time. In the end, the Chiefs couldn’t get past Joe Burrow and the Bengals. In fact, the Chiefs have lost three games in a row against Cincinnati. A win against the Bengals on Sunday means a ticket to the Superbowl in Arizona.
