The Broncos want a new stadium and it might be a dome (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=348088)

They want the new stadium so that they can let John Elway graze the grass at Mile High all year round.

Taylor Swift tickets are going for $4000 for field level. It would have to be retractable.

Their new stadium will remind everyone of a huge mega Walmart with hundreds of coin operated ponies leftover from all the closed down Kmarts of the Elway era.

With smelly vision tvs you will get the illusion of a big stinky barn from all the horse faced mechanical bronco’s at every level of the almost already obsolete new stadium.

Lets Ride

I do not live in Denver, but I am 100% opposed to a new stadium and anything related to a dome. Just enhance the stadium they have that is barely a quarter century old.

There’s no way the fans will chip in to replace a 22 year old stadium. Walmart will have to build it themselves.

Seems insane to me that that they would want a new stadium that soon. I’ve never been there, but I’m sure it’s still in great shape if Arrowhead is still nice after 50 years.

That's kinda what I was thinking. A dome means they can host SBs and watching the Chiefs win SBs on the Broncos field would be epic.

It's not about how nice or what shape the stadium is in it's about creating more space for more money and different types of seats. It's about hosting a Super Bowl

Traveling to Denver is not bad, either.

Do it Denver. DO IT.

No kidding.

Been to several games there, and it was baffling why it's set up that way. At least their rail system helps a lot.

Nope, especially now that the I 25 expansion is mostly complete I can get to wherever the new stadium is in an hour or less.

What is shit about the place?
You can walk to Coors Field, Ball Arena, and like 50,000 restaurants.

Oh.

Feddy scares you.
Good lord.

On the other hand, it does suck. At the Pats/Chiefs AFC Championship Game, between tailgating and the game itself I froze my ass off for half a day, even though I was bundled up like an arctic mummy. I'm getting too old for that shit. Would have been worth it had we won, but we didn't (you too can die in a fire, Dee Ford).

It really seems like modern conditioning and equipment have negated the cold weather thing anyway, much like the altitude doesn't seem to phase players in Denver like it once did. And in any event, cold weather doesn't count for dick if you're playing New England or Buffalo.

Flying into town isn't ideal for shitty weather either... I kept coveralls and other cold weather gear at my dad's in KC specifically for Chiefs playoff games, or else it would take an extra bag just to travel with all of it.

I personally don't think a dome would fix a major issue for football in KC though... yeah, there's maybe a game in September when it's 90⁰ and maybe a couple in Dec/Jan that are under 20⁰, but I've been to plenty of late season games that were 30-40⁰ and perfectly fine. The truly brutal games are few and far between.

Baseball might be a different story, but of course they do a lot of night games in the summer anyway. The domes in Phoenix are nice, but it was also 105⁰ outside when the Chiefs played there in September.
