You mean after The Ralph!
Used to live in KC (OP) and went to a few games. Parking is ample, tailgating is good, Easy in and out. Never stayed at hotels near by, but they would be across the highway and not easily accessible. Not the best or worst area of KC. I'd either stay downtown at the Power and Light District if you like to bar hop or at Country Club Plaza if you like to shop. AH is very very loud. The gold level seats are corporate boxes and pretty empty most of the time. The stadium is loud because they want to be known as the loudest and pump in high decibels through the PA system to obnoxiously loud levels. Fans won't bother you as long as your respectful. All in all, my second favorite stadium to visit so far. (Meadowlands, Candlestick(old), Cleveland (new and old), St Louis, Oakland, Soldier Field (before and after) Washington, Three Rivers).
