4. Kansas City Chiefs

 

Do you love football or just trying to find a great thing to do for a date night?  Then how about going to a Kansas City Chiefs game on Monday night football or Sunday night football?  There are 8 home games each year during the regular season.
 

Some things to remember, Arrowhead Stadium is one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL so you might want to bring some earplugs if noise bothers you.  Also, you might want to get to the stadium a few hours before kickoff as there are plenty of before kickoff to make this last for hours.

The Chiefs finally won a Super Bowl so the tickets to head to a game might be costly, but no matter where in the NFL you are, the best games are night time.
