The Broncos want a new stadium and it might be a dome
 

Their new ownership sent a survey to season ticket holders asking what they want and many options included a dome. The ownership likely would want a dome to make a bid for a Super Bowl.

The Chiefs have wiped their dicks off on their curtains for nearly a decade.

I can imagine why they want to build a new house. LMAO

Is Patrick paying for it?

Wow season ticket holders in London already.

It’s the least he could do really.

Pussies

Their stadium was built in 2001 and it’s already obsolete? JFC.

I love domes. But I must be the only one. It truly baffles me why people prefer to sit outside in 2 degree temps vs at an indoor venue. No dome in GB and Buffalo. Insane to me.

This would be awesome. I could walk to the stadium to see the Chiefs in a Super Bowl.

So they can hang mobiles from the ceiling and stimulate interest.

You are disqualified from the Alpha list.

They ****ed around and found out that Pat is a snow game guy.

Yep... You and the Betas are happy inside...

I'm not sure I've ever seen a game in a dome. Is it impolite to wear a hat indoors in a dome?

Why would you choose to be uncomfortable? I remember I watched a baseball game when I was a kid at the Twins Metrodome or whatever it was. It was fantastic. No sun in my eyes. No 90 degrees and humid. 70 and no wind. It was a dream.

I assure you there are others like me. I would go to 10x as many Chiefs and Royals games if it was in a dome. Im not going to a day Royals game in August and I'm not going to a December Chiefs game. Life is too short.

They’ll suck just as much indoors as they will outdoors.

Ur dick is too short beta lmao

I'm an avid indoorsman.

there's a franchise with no goddamn self respect left

Years ago I saw a Missouri/Illinois game at the dome in St. Louis. It was pretty shitty. As was the game. It was one of those games that was so bad I didn't even care that Missouri won in the end.

Die in a fire, Gabbert. 4321

I love watching fans sit outdoors in 2 degree temperature on my 75 inch TV.

Having done it several times, I'm kind of torn. On the one hand, if it truly gives your team an advantage, I'm in favor of it. I also don't really want Arrowhead to be domed or replaced. 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.

New ownership wants to have brand new everything there. They’re the richest owners in the league.

By all means. Get a dome a watch your biggest rival win a ring on your own damn field LMAO

Killing a bear is no longer a survival trait. Modern survival skils are being able to maximize your travel points at Marriott.

The stadium? No. The Broncos? Yes.

^makes BBQ in a crock pot

That’s entirely too much cooking for him

Those December games are critical ones. The weather has a way of separating the die hard fans from the fair weather soft betas like you. It’s all the more reason to never invest in a dome. Keep the actual fans coming to the games that matter the most and leave the soft ass BWillie’s of the world at home where they belong.

Yeah cooking is womens work

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

The current stadium is kind of in a s***** place

Traveling to Denver is not bad, either.

Do it Denver. DO IT.

FYP

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.

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.

Even the Light Rail station is about a mile walk from the stadium. I take the Bronco bus when I go to games and it's basically a bus that goes from outskirt park and ride directly to the stadium. When the game is over you get on the bus for your park and ride and get to your car and drive home that way. It also gives you a little more time to sober up if you need that kind of thing

To be fair, that dome was abysmal. The one in Vegas was amazing. Those are the only two domed stadiums I've been in.

They'll have spy robot birds like box frame Walmart stores. Only these birds nudge the field goal kicks and moon balls

If you do go to a Broncos game and you're sitting in section 500 you want to be on the east side of the stadium because it stays in the Sun the longest. Which means you'll stay warmer longer

I despise the travel part of going to games to begin with. It's hard for me to get excited when you have to deal with hours of traffic and miles of walking to watch a game that can be viewed in my living room.

Old man syndrome. I don't care.

We don't have hours of traffic and you can park within 50 feet of a gate.

They just got a new stadium a little over 20 years ago, I wouldn't vote for it.

Almost every new stadium should have a Retractable roof unless it's in Socal or something. Best of both worlds. During the nice parts of the year ir can be open and during the shitty snow or miserable summer days ir can be closed. If Arrowhead had one we would have a Super Bowl already.

Question, do you ever go to non-chiefs Bronco games?

You Are Not Alone

I would imagine by the time this new stadium is built and ready for games is 10 years away

The most surprising part of this story: The Broncos still have season ticket holders.

And 100 million in upgrades this year including a really big new expensive scoreboard screen scrolling marquee of constant info. No one is building a new stadium.

While I don't like freezing my butt off, it is definitely an advantage for our team. I would not want a dome. However, I would have been willing to entertain the rolling roof idea.

As a Chiefs fan it pains me to say it but I preferred the old Pile High Stadium. The old stadium at least had soul.

ROFL

rep

Maybe it was made with Chinese steel. :eek:

Yes, Denver.

LMAO

FedEx Field is right at 27 years and it is a ****ing mess and rust bucket. Just like any construction near D.C., there was poor quality and shortcuts taken while costs ballooned.

One of the biggest piece of shit stadiums I have ever set foot in.

That's the same setup as Giants games (I went to see our Chiefs there pre-Jesus). Very handy not having to drive, though it kills the tailgate experience.

So, you work with the city and unshittify the area it is located. You don't spend another few billion to just relocate and then leave that shell.

The Texas Rangers did this in Arlington and I think that was stupid.

True. It really is in a good area, right off the interstate.

Domes are for the kind of people who put ketchup on steak

Or trash franchises like the St. Louis Rams

Mahomes puts ketchup on his steaks. You saying domes are for people like him?

I love domes. I eat my steak rare with no sauce on it.

And bite your tongue, our fearless leader Patrick Mahomes puts catsup on his steak.

Weird. You'd think they'd be more worried about getting a real QB in Denver first.

Pile High was built on the cheap and it shows. I think old mile high was in better shape than the current stadium is now

This was nearly my exact thought. Why build a stadium now? The only thing I can come up with is to hide their incompetence from passing satellites . . .

Is this arena football?

What does it tell you if ownership would rather not do that? It probably means that it's cost prohibitive or not worth the trouble. And remember these are the Walmart Bros they own more real estate than the Catholic Church.

Will it have a white horse statue?

As long as it doesn’t have a possessed looking one like outside DIA.
