Will ‘Mahomes effect’ get The Chiefs a Billion dollar stadium?

[Deberg_1990]

Billion dollar stadiums seem to be all the rage.

Will the Chiefs and Mahomes popularity get the Chiefs to build one of these sweet new palaces?

Or is Kansas City not quite glamorous enough for one?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Can't afford it. Mahomes got 1/2 Billion

[TwistedChief]

I'd much prefer some minor upgrades to Arrowhead than a billion dollar stadium.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

JFC dude

[DRM08]

They don't need it. Arrowhead is a great stadium. The weather outdoors is an advantage in the playoffs since they have the most talented QB in the league who can throw the ball very well in horrible weather.

[Bugeater]

I'm a purist and a traditionalist...I didn't really like the last renovations to Arrowhead.

[displacedinMN]

Maybe in 20-30 years

[TwistedChief]

I'm thrilled we no longer piss into troughs. But that's just me.

[CoMoChief]

Even though they expanded them...still wish the concourses were wider in some areas.

[CoMoChief]

The troughs were great....nothing better than bumpin balls with your fellow Chiefs fan.


Hah..you guys tricked me into saying that. Better not tell anyone.

[big nasty kcnut]

No stop trying to replace arrowhead.

[tk13]

They can put it downtown right next to the new Royals stadium.

Ha. I had forgotten about those. Definitely a 70s era thing. Imagine if a new stadium put those in. The backlash it would receive.

[ping2000]

It needs to be bulletproof. Fucking crazy ass faider fans.

I want Mahomes in a temperature-controlled environment as soon as he hits 30.

[comochiefsfan]

No.

Arrowhead is an iconic venue. Why try and get rid of it?

This Arrowhead is just fine and while the history ain’t perfect it’s not all bad

[lewdog]

This.

Retractable roof by the time he hits his 30's.

[scho63]

Arrowhead Stadium has aged like fine wine. NO!!!

Just like Camden Yards - still great 28 years later

[kgrund]

I'm thrilled we no longer piss into troughs. But that's just me.

Still have them in upper deck. They rock. Bathroom stops WAY faster with those puppies, which is the only thing that matters. They do have stalls for the bashful.

[RustShack]

Maybe he can get a rolling roof for us.

[Bugeater]

There's exceptions to every rule. LMAO

[Valiant]

When the royals move downtown after the lease expires who knows. Maybe a thing like the rams stadium can be added. Put in shops and bars where Kaufman stood.

[Hammock Parties]

This.

Retractable roof by the time he hits his 30's.

Last night I want is Mahomes, aged 33, slipping on wet turf and blowing out something.

[Dante84]

My number one beef with Arrowhead is the ugly ass yellow club seats.

Outside of that, if they needed to update it, it would be cool to just encase Arrowhead with a nice exterior like 30 feet away from its current walls, and then have a retractable roof, for when Patrick is in his 30’s & 40’s.

[Frazod]

I'm a purist and a traditionalist...I didn't really like the last renovations to Arrowhead.

With the additions on the southwest side, the stadium no longer has the symmetry it did before. A minor thing, I guess, but it looked much cleaner before.

[POND_OF_RED]

They’d going to need to expand the hall of honor section to add more trophy cases. That’s the only stadium renovations I’m interested in.

[HonestChieffan]

After Covid we will never see Arrowhead full to capacity . New Normal will suck balls

[R Clark]

Wow pessimist much?

If Brady can play in New England at 40 pat can play at arrowhead when he’s 50

[Titty Meat]

KC is pretty broke right now

There was a certain charm to the bleachers swaying.

Do you like tailgating? If so, do NOT build a downtown stadium.

From what I've seen, a good tailgating scene starts first and foremost by having a large parking lot where fans (and their vehicles) can gather before the game. There are other factors but every pro and college team that has a great tailgating scene always starts with that.

A stadium built in a city's downtown simply doesn't have room for a large parking lot like this. At best, there's room for a small parking lot with a few hundred spaces for the high-rollers like what Lucas Oil has in Indy. Most downtown stadiums don't even have that.

Think of all the teams you know that are known for their tailgating, then name one that built downtown

I DON'T miss the troughs though.

[Bowser]

They'll have the whole complex to their selves once the Royals pack up and move downtown. Keep Arrowhead, build up a fan experience destination around it.

[suzzer99]

Hah..you guys tricked me into saying that. Better not tell anyone.

I learned what adult penises looked like at the Arrowhead trough. True story.

[bringbackmarty]

You'd think that arrowhead is on a clock, the most recent renovations are now well into their service life but kc is broke. They ain't paying for it. Kc may be one of the last to go but eventually the game moves indoors during bad weather.

One man's sink is another man's trough.....

It's all a matter of perspective! :LOL:

[htismaqe]

The troughs may be a bit uncivilized but dear God, changing to urinals slowed bathroom time down by a factor of at least 3.

[MahiMike]

If they don't do it now they never will.

[O.city]

Bulldoze the K when the Royals move, build a big hotel complex with restaurants and outdoor bars that can be easily used when tailgating etc.

Done.

[Dayze]

doesn't matter to me.
I won't be able to attend if they do ; hell, I can't afford to attend now. lol.

the real question is whether Clark is going to try to fleece KC/JaCo and for how much.

I've seen the Chiefs win super bowl; something I legitimately never thought I'd see in my life time. So , as far as I'm concerned , they can do whatever they want. Move ,don't move. Change name, don't change name. Renovate, build a billion $ stadium.

none of it matters to me anymore.

[eDave]

Dude should at least get us a rolling roof. He has a stake in both teams.

This would be a pretty good solution. Its still in a really shitty non-centralized area though. Its crazy to me they have no entertainment district down there. I'm not a huge tailgater though. I much prefer the urban environment at power and light or an outdoor bar with a roof top than drinking Busch Light in the parking lot in the snow or 95 degree heat. Ive always had a great time before and after the B12 tournament down at Power and Light and watched the Super Bowl at Country Road Ice House.

Cards stadium is way out there but there is an entire entertainment district, including Coyotes arena, right next door. Always hopping and great fun being there when the game, or concert, is going on inside.

https://i.imgur.com/P3eNtSk.jpg

Dbacks stadium downtown has entertainment all around as well as is even more fun. Heck, you can eat at Fridays in left field. Been there a few times and it's super cool.

I imagine Sprint Center is similar. Crank that to 11.

Deberg thread

[kcclone]

I like the affordable (pre-covid) prices on tickets, so I would be against the idea of a new stadium.

Arrowhead is a great game day atmosphere. It seats 78k and has a perfect set up for tailgating.

[ROYC75]

No shit, as a kid I asked my Dad why the bleachers were shaking, he told me everybody was excited!

It always has and will have the perfect NFL tailgating experience.

Problem is, some people just seem to think you can fix perfect!

I believe what you are trying to say is he can spin this shit in anything.

This. And build up public transit to the fucking place. That would be nice.

Unrelated to your comment, but if they do anything because of Mahomes it will be adding more luxury boxes opposite the previous renovations.

[Funkstown]

No. Keep both Kaufman and Arrowhead next to each other.

[gblowfish]

Arrowhead is a classic venue like Lambeau or Soldier Field. Leave it be.

All of this, Truman Sports Complex is iconic!

Absolutely! It reminds me of Lambeau and Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia combined. That Vegas Stadium? That garbage makes me want to wretch.

[FloridaMan88]

I think the rolling roof idea should eventually happen.

The projected cost in 2006 was $170 million.

I am not a Jackson County taxpayer so it's not my $$$ to spend, but that doesn't seem like a bad deal, considering the likely ROI from events such as the Super Bowl, Final Fours, etc. Arrowhead could have hosted with a rolling roof.

[eDave]

A Superbowl in Arrowhead is my next hope to see before I die. That would be awesome.

[Deberg_1990]

Then the only way KC gets one of those is a billion dollar stadium with retractable roof.

Doesn't count. Must be Arrowhead. Rolling roof makes that a good possibility. Gonna need hotels though.

This and the retractable roof would help give KC a chance at hosting a Super Bowl.

[redfan]

Define "all the rage", DeBerg.

[Chieftain]

I don't think there is a need for a new stadium. Arrowhead looks great. It doesn't feel like an old stadium at all and has all the amenities a fan would need.

[mlyonsd]

We just expelled the jinx from Arrowhead. Let's keep it.

[gblowfish]

None of us regular joes would be able to afford a ticket.

[BWillie]

While we hold Arrowhead to that standard, I don't quite think the rest of the country holds it in the same regard as Lambeau.

Personally, I think the new Vegas stadium looks amazing but it lacks some character. Character builds over time, though. Most football stadiums lack character compared to baseball, though.

[ChiefsFanatic]

What if the Royals moved, and the Chiefs get a new stadium built where The K sits now, but with a twist......

They use the original blueprints, constructing a very close duplicate of Arrowhead Stadium, but all the most needed changes are made, like wider concourses, etc. plus all the new technologies could be a part of the infrastructure in the new stadium.

To top it off would be either a rolling roof, or retractable roof. It would keep everything that makes Arrowhead so great, and the fan experience in the stands, and in the tailgating areas would only change for the better.

It would be something that people would always talk about, because it's something that has never been done before. Arrowhead was regarded as ahead of its time, and has proven to be one of the single best one sport stadiums in the entire world.

I think it would be amazing.

For that fact,,

IF a new stadium needed to be built. There is enough land to have 3 stadiums while the new would be built. Just less parking for a while.


Over the next 200 years-play the shell game with stadiums.


BTW NO to downtown stadiums. NO NO NO.

KC has the best setup in sports.

[KChiefs1]

I wish I had been able to go to a game at Municipal Stadium.

It was awesome but I was just a kid who found stuff like that amazing.

[Couch-Potato]

I hope so, and this is how I hope it goes down...

1) Move to down town KC. Arrowhead is in the middle of nowhere and KC is lacking in entertainment, might help revitalize the P&L district. I dont wanna here you old fuddy-duddies talking that nonsense about traffic or changing the culture.

2) Incorporate parts of the old stadium so that you can continue to call the new stadium Arrowhead. Narrative = "Its not a new stadium, they just moved and uprgraded the old one. Parts of it anyways."

3) It should be loud.


In all seriousness though the stadiums they are building out here in LA are really doing a lot to revitalyze the South Central neighborhoods and maybe Arrowhead could do some good for parts of KC.

[KChiefs1]

What they need to work on is having a "Ballpark Village" setup between the stadiums with bars, restaurants & shops to make that a great place to go after the games.

Think a smaller Zona Rosa setup.

[Bob Dole]

I seriously don’t understand the constant yearning by some for new stadiums. I go to games to watch the game, not swim or get shitfaced and play video games. KC has an iconic sports complex that has been maintained and updated as needed. Just stop already. You’re as bad as the remove statues crowd.

[luv]

Updating the current stadium is fine. When we toured Arrowhead last January, there was talk about the concerts that are held there, and the challenge that the shape of the stadium and the seating structure holds for artists. I actually kind of like that.

I love busy concourses, too. The only thing I would change would be to do something to create a larger pro shop. Or put another one on the other side of the stadium. I know they have the little kiosk type ones throughout the stadium, but the main one is always shoulder to shoulder with the line being long enough that you're in the way of people trying to shop, and that room is limited enough already.

[eDave]

None of us regular joes would be able to afford a ticket.

They will have to come out with officially licensed recliners. Which will put your live image in a stadium seat. With a 3 minute delay for decency.
