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.

Lambeau is great, but they left the shitty benches-bad move.

Very true. AROUND the stadium is terrific, but inside sucks with all that bleacher seating. Reminds me of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. Blech.

But the club section is ****ing fntastic.

I'm for the rolling roof. We need change.

I would have voted for a new Arrowhead had you not included the stupid IMO idea of wasting money on a downtown baseball park. Do the minor upgrades to Kaufman Stadium and leave it there. There is not a nicer park for baseball viewing that has been built and wasting money on a new park for the Royals is insane.
