Yea, it just looked run down and old. People don't realize how well Arrowhead has aged compared to other stadiums.

Sorry, I just never heard the "ashtray" reference. I understand the cookie-cutter or multi-purpose stadium thing.

Can someone elaborate on the Denver stadium being garbage. Not sure if it's the old or new one you're referring too. I'm guessing the hippies and mormon Bronco fans are even worse.

I'm planning on going there to watch the Chiefs in the last week of the season.

How was RFK? I've always wanted to catch a Redskins game.

It's your typical Joe Stadium. I don't think it's garbage, but it doesn't have a 'wow' factor that you get when you walk into Arrowhead. The one thing that annoys me is that they know the fans won't make enough noise, so they installed "barriers" that are essentially big sheets of tin, so one drunk guy hitting than can make a lot of noise.

I went on a east coast baseball stadium trip a couple years back with my brothers. Gonna have to do the west coast as well to get closer to rounding out all 30. Much easier to go to multiple baseball stadiums rather than football.

Ended up leaving before game, which had to be played because it had playoff implications for the visiting Reds.)

Arlington Stadium (1 game @ Texas Rangers old ballpark, a nice old stadium)
