Kansas City is known for its loud football stadium and tailgating but what happens when the Chiefs aren't playing at home? McFadden's Kansas City has found a solution to draw Chiefs fans to the Power & Light District.

McFadden's Kansas City is hosting away game tailgating at their downtown location in the Power & Light District. During the Chiefs preseason games, McFadden's employees invited die-hard fans to bring their decorated Chiefs trucks to the Power & Light District and park them on Grand Boulevard for the away games.

Sunday morning 13 Chiefs buses were lined up. Organizers expect the crowd to grow.

"Next home game we're looking to get more and more and just make this thing to where we have the entire Grand Street blocked off and this the official tailgating spot," said McFadden's manager, Andrew Jilles.

Anyone interested in bringing their Chiefs bus and tailgating to McFadden's for the next away game should contact McFadden's directly for a VIP Grand Boulevard parking pass.
