King Carl is on record saying that the Chiefs will never use the roof for their games.
Looks kind of weird but I've heard they could easily make the bottom of the top of the roof a gigantic video screen. That would be cool.

I don't know. I can't seem to get on board with the idea, even with the reasons you listed. I guess if I were to have a roof, I'd just as soon see it be like Reliant Stadiums' retractable roof, not just a rolling roof.
I'm all for upgrading both stadiums, because they both need it. The location of the complex makes it the perfect venue to watch sports, so I don't really want to move the Royals downtown, or see the Chiefs bolt for Wyandotte.
I'll tell you what is a kick ass venue for a football game - Lambeau Field. When they upgraded around that stadium, they did it right. I would love to see the Chiefs come up with a plan that could somewhat mirror what Green Bay did. Anyone who has seen the renovated Lambeau knows what I'm talking about, and should agree.
