Have A Drink On Me: Chiefs To Treat Fans In London To Free Beer At Local Pub

The Chiefs "wanted to find a way to thank their ticket holders who are heading" to the team's Nov. 1 game at Wembley Stadium against the Lions, so they will buy them their "favorite pint," according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. The team will "take over The Admiralty, a pub in London's Trafalgar Square," the afternoon of Oct. 30 and "pour for their fans." Chiefs President Mark Donovan said, "The idea is if you're coming to London, whether you came in on a train from Manchester where you live or whether you came over on a flight or whether you came in from Germany because it's easier to get to London than Kansas City, you came to support the Chiefs and we want to buy you a beer." Teicher noted the team believes "about 800 ticket holders will make the trip to London for the game." Donovan: "We've been pleasantly surprised by the number of fans who have told us they are going to London" (ESPN.com, 10/22).
