Made the parking crew at Arrowhead look like a well oiled machine.

That's it though, loved every other minute of the Kingdom taking over the desert.

Took 1.5 hours to get parked? Seriously? Wow! What time did you get in line to park?

How was the stadium itself?

I enjoyed the stadium. Easy to get in/out of (once parked), was comfortable on a 100+ degree day, and Cards fan seemed to be a friendly, yet indifferent bunch.

It was my first domed football game so that was kind of unique.

The problem seemed to be that the stadium itself is somewhat in a residential area. So you had regular ol Sunday afternoon traffic light cadence with an influx of gameday volume. So sitting at stoplights with like 4 cars making it through on a green arrow. On top of that, the lots are color coded, so if you had green per se you were directed to the other side of the stadium for that specific lot instead of say red parking at Arrowhead and you can park wherever, outside of gold. Poor signage, staff just standing around what little shade was available, first game of the season, etc. and it was a bit of a clunky process.
