"Fans from all over are lining up for a chance to snap a selfie and send some good luck to the Chiefs before the season kicks off.  

“We are a lifetime Chiefs fan. This boy is five years old, so he’s already seen three Super Bowls, and he is big big fan,” Chiefs fan Bailey Casey said.

Casey, who brought her young son along, said it’s already been a special experience.  

“I am excited to see Travis Kelce play and Patrick Mahomes; he is my second favorite player.” Andy Jordan said.  

Fans lined the fence, eyes peeled for stars like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. For young Andy Jordan, seeing Kelce was a dream come true.

AJ Betts, just 9 years old, was all in.
