OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- The pre-season game between the Chiefs and the Seahawks is in Seattle, but the best tailgate party is in Overland Park!
How often do you have the chance to hang out with an NFL Hall-of-Famer? Tonight’s the night.
Will Shields is hosting a Tailgate Extravaganza to talk football, have fun and celebrate the 10th anniversary of his 68’s Inside Sports.
Here are the X’s and O’s you need to make this big play:
- It is free
- Open to the public
- 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Friday, August 25
- At the 68’s Inside Sports Fields location, 9111 Flint in Overland Park
- Autographs from Will, 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
- Lots of great things for kids
- Fitness class demos
- First half of the Chiefs game on a huge screen
As much fun as this will be, according to Mr. Shields, it is also a way to thank the people who have made 68’s Inside Sports a success and encourage others to get fit in a Hall of Fame way.
Will Shields is a walking billboard for how his system works. His playing weight was in the 310-315 pound neighborhood. Now, thanks to eating right and working out properly, he is at about 260. He has traded his playing weight for what he calls his “walking weight.”
By the way, here’s an easy way to locate the party: Just look for the wall-sized photo of Will (from his Hall-of-Fame induction) on the side of the building.
The Chiefs kick off at CenturyLink field in Seattle at 7 p.m. Friday. The game will air on CBS.
