[Dayze]

they should've hired Zach to take the pictures.

some of those are awful.

but cool to see everything wrapped up etc.

[Tytanium]

The padding around the field looks about 1000 times better than it has in the last 20 years.

[Titty Meat]

The padding looks awesome. Last years was awful with the different colors of green.

[Dayze]

so will beers be $10 this year?

serious question; I wonder how/if at all prices wil go up on everything etc.

[Hammock Parties]

I'll miss our green padding.

[Sofa King]

i like the soccer turf.

[Bugeater]

Other than the ghey-ass soccer lines painted on the field it looks great.

Whats wrong with 10$ beers?

Negatory, you didn't use the word "ghey" in your post.

[Hammock Parties]

I always thought that green padding would see a championship.

[boogblaster]

looks good .. is that new seating closer to the field .. has to be right ...

[bobbything]

I handle some advertising for a company that is a Chiefs sponsor and apparently the designers of this renovation forgot to consult the media members that will be using the designed media suites. From what I understand, it sucks from their point of view. In fact, Mitch and Len's suite is smaller than the Spanish broadcasters suite. About half the size to be exact. And the glass is soundproof :shake:

[beer bacon]

There are something like 2,000 Sony high-def 60 inch TVs in the stadium now.

Eh, they can crack it I'm sure to let a little in for the broadcast.

It's being replaced altogether and they're switching suites with the Spaniards.

[sedated]

the chick in the third pic needs to be in the "would you" thread.

[LaChapelle]

I hope the new sponser is Starburts and not Skittles
looks like all the colors of a rainbow are present
Cassel says "Taste the Rainbow"

[Fumblerooski]

It's not really closer... Soccer fields are about 30 yards wider than football fields... So the seats just look closer because it's set up for the soccer game.

[Bwana]

This

[Goldmember]

Wouldn't it look better if the seats on the lower level were red instead of orange? Or are they two different shades of red?

[Renegade]

Look's nice. Too bad the Wizards and the Mancheter United will be the first to break in the new digs.

[MoreLemonPledge]

I've been waiting all summer for Monday night.

[BWillie]

They aren't going to let the soccer players go on the field and mess the turf up are they? I'm going to be pissed if they make a divot and Eric Berry blows his ACL because of Manchester Gaynited :cuss::cuss::cuss:

[Mojo Jojo]

Look's nice. Too bad the Wizards and the Mancheter United will be the first to break in the new digs.

I think Man U. was the first team to play in Philly when they opened Lincoln Financial Field...If it wasn't Man U then it was another EPL team, but soccer opened that stadium. Guess what? The Chiefs Exec. VP/COO Mark Donovan came from the Eagles. Look for a lot of events...soccer etc. to be coming to Arrowhead.

[InChiefsHeaven]

I just JIMP a little. I can't WAIT!!!

[Tbone8801]

Are those RED seats on the lower level? please god tell me its true!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

[Reerun_KC]

Are those RED seats on the lower level? please god tell me its true!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

You mean they discarded the orange seats?

[Hammock Parties]

I'll miss the orange seats.

I always thought they'd see a championship.

[Mojo Jojo]

I think they are still orange. One of those traditions the Hunt Family doesn't want to change.

They still look orange to me.

[Fish]

There are something like 2,000 Sony high-def 60 inch TVs in the stadium now.

2,149 of them... to be exact...

[FloridaMan88]

The tax payers of Missouri have invested millions in Arrowhead and the Chiefs new training camp facilities in St. Joe and how does Clark show his appreciation? One of the lowest payrolls in the NFL.

Because of the significant amount of public $$$ the Chiefs have received for the "New Arrowhead" and new training camp facilities, the team should be forced to show their profit margin considering how little they are spending on the on-field product.

What a disgrace.

[FloridaMan88]

2,149 different ways to witness a 16 year playoff win drought... and in HD no less.

For once, I completely agree with you.

Even after signing all of their draft picks, and even if they were to sign a few higher priced veterans during camp, they still won't break $70M.

The Rams were the only team last year to spend less than $80M. Only 4 teams spent less than $90M - KC being one of them.

[Buck]

LOL WOW. Nice Ring Of Honor.

Guess who led the tour for media day of Arrowhead?

Clark Hunt himself...

Just a coincidence that the soccer game is this weekend.

Yes Tour Guide Clark Hunt's story about his father's dying wish was especially touching.

As told by Clark, what was his father's final wish for the Chiefs as he was on death's door? Winning a Super Bowl? Winning a playoff game?

Nope... Lamar's message from his death bed to Clark and Jack Steadman was to renovate Arrowhead Stadium.

Watch the end of the video of Clark's Arrowhead tour on kcchiefs.com if you don't believe me.

Like his father, Clark Hunt's Super Bowl trophy is Arrowhead Stadium.

Only at Arrowhead can you watch the game in a fucking camping trailer...

And I am not shitting you.

The Kansas City Chiefs, with HyVee, will invite four fans a game to watch the football game inside a customized Airstream trailer stocked with furniture and televisions. DAVID EULITT/Kansas City Star

Who the fuck would want to watch the game from there?

If I wanted to watch on a TV, I'd stay home.

I'm going to assume Hyvee will hold raffles every week.

fans each week will win chance to tailgate inside arrowhead with view of field...enter this fall @HYVEE

Grass looks great... But by Oct it will look like goats balls...

Maybe time for some next turf?

[007]

that is embrassing.:shake:I don't know. It is definitely unique.

[chefsos]

They really should have bright green lights and fog and maybe an alien or two emerge from that Airstream when that fucking drawbridge that's been carved into it opens.

how many drunk people Raider/Bronco fans will throw trash and beer on these things?

Didn't the Hunts also invest something like $75mil of their money too? Or more? I don't find that very disgraceful. I guess that's just pennies or something. :shrug:

From the press box(es), you can see 2nd base at Kauffman Stadium. Seriously.

FYI, Warpaint has two articles up about Arrowhead. They're free. Not to pimp, but I enjoyed the information.

Knowing WP, they got the wrong stadium.

[gblowfish]

I believe taxpayers did about $250 million and the Chiefs and Hunt Family did about $100 million. I think the KC Star had the exact figures.

The only thing that pisses me off is, $350 million, and we'll still get snowed on and rained on, and still freeze like a mother in December. Except for the rich people. They got all the real goodies. This really hasn't done much at all for Joe Average fan. Wider concourse, more places to piss, that's about it. Now if we could just get a team that wins.

I noticed that the large majority of the "upgrades" were done on things solely intended to generate revenue... Essentially, they gave us more crap to spend money on...

Yep, the county spend a shitload of money so Clark can make a shitload of money.

I think the place looks great.

I would love to sit in the old press area.

[WilliamTheIrish]

From the press box(es), you can see 2nd base at Kauffman Stadium. Seriously.

Press boxes should have been moved to the top of the stadium in 1973. Those hacks have lived charmed lives in that stadium. If they have complaints, buy a fucking ticket.

It costs at least that much to see the Raiders beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead, so to see the Chiefs beat the Raiders in another game...yeah.

[ChiefsFanatic]

Yep, the county spend a shitload of money so Clark can make a shitload of money.

The put up $75 million, but part way through the project they spent another $50 million that they were not obligated to spend. Would you rather have the Glass Family own the Chiefs, or the Hunt family?

Well, the results have been about the same. Should we talk about how many millions Clark saved from having one of the lowest payrolls the last couple years?

I agree with this statement, why havent we made this switch yet?? every year i look at the field towards the end of the season and think wow that looks like crap. hopefully some of the renavations will help this.
