Omaha just doesn't have a desire for a pro sports team other than minor league. It's more of a college sports town anyway.

That actually supports my point though. While cities like Omaha, Louisville, and Memphis grow they'll be looking for ways to establish themselves as the next great city. A pro franchise helps put those cities on the map.

Meanwhile, KC loses it's teams, and it looks like a dying city.

Why no roof? We are gauaranteed a Super Bowl with it. We spend $200 million qnd we get $400-500 million in out of state revenue into our city. A college bowl game? A mens final Four? Who knows?

King Carl is already on record as saying it will never be used for a Chiefs game. It's only for special events.

Indoor football in the abomination that brings desolation.

Carl won't be there forever. The first monsoon game in October or the first below 15 degree game in December and all the pusses will be calling for it to be used.

I'm not sold on the benefit to KC of hosting a Super Bowl. The Sports Guy reemed Jacksonville as a terrible place to have a Super Bowl cause there was nothing to do. Are people going to start rushing to Detroit as a great January vacation destination? Watching KC's hotels, resturaunts and transportation system struggle under the load will only reinforce the perception of outsiders that KC is a cowtown.

I have a hard time believing that KC has any fewer things to do than New Orleans did, and they've hosted many, many super bowls.

You might as well host a SB on the moon as Jacksonville. At least you could hop around in low gravity and play solar radiation tag.

Is KC really as replete with fun and engaging adult activities as New Orleans these days, Mr. Brock? I'm glad to hear it, if so.

I can surmize one of 3 things about Brock:

1) he is the king of unstated sarcasm

2) he is a Mennonite

3) he has never veuntured outside his bedroom in his parents house.

Feel free to enlighten me about the wonderment that was New Orleans.

I liked the town, but the only thing I saw was a bunch of drunk stumblebums milling about.

They are one of the top ten convention cities in America; therefore, they have hotel facilites for a gabillion out of town visitors.

They have dozens of 4-star resturaunts.

They have a concentrated adult entertainment distrcit (bars, casinos, and girly shows) that is within walking distance of all the hotels and all the 4-star resutrants and the SB venue.

They are also the chocolate milk city. Just bring your own grahams.

Frankly, I don't know why they don't just build a stadium in Las Vegas and just have it there every year.

No, its a one time infusion of cash. Maybe a little bump in the long term but not much.

But back to the bottome line......We spend $200 million we get $400-500 million in return.

L.A. fans do not deserve ANY team.
