3,500 TICKETS LEFT FOR CHIEFS-BILLS GAME

3,500 tickets still need to be sold for the Kansas City Chiefs home game this weekend against the Buffalo Bills on December 13th to avoid a local television blackout. It could represent the first Chiefs home game to be blacked out since December 16, 1990. Since then, the team has sold enough tickets to lift the NFL’s local blackout for 155 consecutive games.

“This has unfortunately become a more common occurrence in several NFL cities this year,” said Chiefs COO Mark Donovan. “The possibility of a blackout is caused by a combination of the current economic climate, inclement weather in December, a non-divisional opponent and our record.”

NFL teams must sell out games by 12:00 PM (Central) Thursday – or 12:00 PM (Central) Friday, if the NFL grants an extension – to avoid a local television blackout.
