That Pittsburgh-Miami monsoon game looks like a blast, I’ve never been in warm rain except in Florida so I assume the water was warm.

I was actually at that Cheifs VS Seahawks Game... I think I was about 7 or 8 years old. The images of water pouring down the stairs was 100% accurate, It looked like we were at Nigara Falls. We ended up getting stuck at the staidum becuase the way out flooded. That was probably the coldest and wetest I had ever been in my young life up to that point. Crazy to see that on here so many years later and remember being there.

[@craigcampbell8560]

I remember that game. We ended up leaving via gate 2 instead of gate 4 or the East circle exit. We always used gate 4 because there was a lot less traffic at that gate since most of the people going to Arrowhead didn't know gate 4 is even there. We would come in gate 4, pay for parking, then make a U turn on to the access road (east circle) for lot L and park on the grass between the access road and lot L. It was obviously a long walk across the overpass and through the tunnel, then across lot C to get to the stadium, but well worth it on most nights because you could get out VERY quickly because you would walk back out there while the cars were mostly at a standstill. You could then turn left onto lot L and exit back out Gate 4 to Raytown road, or go around East circle until it dumped you off on Blue Ridge Cutoff (right turn only). I'm pretty sure both gates 4 and 5 were under water after the game because they wouldn't let us go that way. Raytown road is at the bottom of the hills that lead to it, and even though the south side sits lower than the road there, it's entirely possible that creek flooded badly enough to flood the road. Brush creek sure did along the plaza that night,

The only NFL weather moment that matters is the superbowl XLI (2007) It never rained during a superbowl ever before, not a drop. That morning the half time headliner woke up with a call from his producer saying him that with 4 electric guitars and dancers on high heels with the upcoming storm it could get tricky.The artist reply: "Can you make it rain harder?" The artist was Prince, his purple rain performance is considered the best half time ever. It is as if the weather gods themselves come down to make it just perfect.

It rained SO hard that we still got wet because of the mist in the air. The water was so deep at the sidelines that a fumble pile could have resulted in a drowning. Flash flooding around Kansas City that night was horrific. There were a few deaths in the Plaza are because a wall of water came down Brush creek and took out bridges with cars sitting them waiting for traffic lights to change.
