“I’m trying to keep the spirit of those original rowdy fans alive, that’s what I’m about.” – Lynn “Weirdwolf” Schmidt
Super Bowl Sunday is almost here and to get you fired up for the big game is one of the most iconic members of Kansas City’s wolfpack, Lynn “Weirdwolf” Schmidt! For twenty-four seasons, Lynn has been dressing up as Weirdwolf for Kansas City Chiefs games and encouraging fans to get rowdy! He even coined the phrase “Decibel Up” which led to the fans setting the Guinness World Record title for the world’s loudest stadium at 142.2 decibels. In 2002, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the ultimate fan for that year. Last season, he attended the Super Bowl and cheered his team on to victory, even appearing in Apple Music’s commercial for Rihanna’s halftime show.
In this episode, he’ll talk about his journey with the Chiefs and their fans, give a look inside his gameday activities, and give advice to anyone out there dreaming of becoming the ultimate fan for their favorite team.
