Halfway from Wichita to Hutchinson, in a car dealership in the small town of Haven, sits one of the Kansas City Chiefs oldest fans.

Francis Shep has been a Chiefs season ticket holder for 45 years.

"When I first bought them, I don't know what they cost. A lot less than it is now. Maybe 12 dollars, something like that."

A lot has changed since Shep first bought the tickets, and not just the cost.

"I went there (Arrowhead Stadium) for 20 years and there was only a handful (of fans)," remembers Shep.

He had tickets when the team was good? and during off-years.

"Well I went to one game where it was just ice. Going around to our seats, you had to crawl on the floor, you couldn't stand, there was that much ice. So we just crawled around. I had heated socks on and the batteries went down, and oh was it cold."

Shep admits he doesn't get around like he used to.

"My seats are 44 steps down. I have a hard time getting back up. I get down all right," Shep chuckles.

He turns 90 next week, days before the big game.

A win from the Chiefs would be a pretty good gift for this long-time fan.

"I've been waiting for this for 45 years. I'm ready for it. They deserve it, the Chiefs deserve it, crowd deserves it, players deserve it."

On Super Bowl Sunday, Shep plans to take in the game from the comfort of his own home.

"I'll be settin' in my easy chair, TV on, heating pad on my back and enjoying the game."

And win or lose, you can bet Shep will still be cheering on the Chiefs.

"I'm proud of him," says Shep fondly, pointing to a figurine of his favorite player, Patrick Mahomes.
