Seats covered in ice at Chiefs' stadium ahead of playoff game
The NFL postponed the kickoff for the Kansas City Chiefs' home playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday ... with good reason.
The seats in Arrowhead Stadium were encased in ice after a storm hit parts of Missouri and Kansas, among other U.S. states, Sunday morning.
The storm forced stadium workers to use rubber hoses to get the ice off the seats and hand-held salters to clear the aisles and steps.

With the game time pushed back from 1:05 p.m. ET to 8:20 p.m. ET, hopefully the stadium staff will have enough time to clear the seating area for the expected 76,000 fans.
