I liked the new video ring, much better than the boring look it previously had. Times change, get used to it. I don't know by face many of the HOFers, so it was nice to get a pic when they showed the names on the ring. Concourses are much wider at lower level, food was pretty good, lines were short. Bathrooms much improved, no waits at any time (men's) Trashcans were overflowing, so they need to keep an eye on that... umm other than that, can't really see a whole lot of difference. The same 'feel' as all the other games I have been to (minus the whole expecting to win thing). I think the isles to the seats were wider as well, didn't have to wait forever to get up to the concourses at halftime.

She made sure everyone noticed her during pregame.

So glad we don't have to listen to that crowing anymore......

**** the NFL. they should give every team at least one primetime game. No respect.

Zooted summed it up well. Still a lot of construction going on, but overall I'm very pleased. I also thought someone was playing loud music in th eparking lot, but realized it was actually the new stadium sound system...whoa! I personally can't stand the rap music, but I guess a lot of people like it.

- New video boards are an improvement.:thumb:

- Video ring around the stadium is neat; it really lights the whole stadium interior up, but I wonder if players might complain about it interfering with the game.:spock:

- New intro video not only sucks; it's an embarrassment. It needs to never be shown again. Whoever approved that nightmare needs to be fired, then shot.:bang: I'd much prefer the "War of the Worlds" type intro from last year.

- Never, NEVER, let Patti DiPardo sing the National Anthem again. She has always screwed it up, and she was true to form again Saturday night.:#

- Wider concourses are a welcome change; you no longer feel like you're walking through the NY subway. There's a snack bar every 5 feet, and plenty of TVs so you can still see the game.:thumb:

- Latrines urinals have replaced the standard trough; no more splash zones.:thumb:

- Lack of cigarette smoke in the concourses was also nice; all the smokers went to the "rings" at the four corners.:thumb:

-As far as the video boards, they are quite nice, but at least in this case, they were shooting 4:3 content, so replays were bracketed by either ads or a simple logos. Prerecorded content, like messages from the players and promo material took the width of the boards.

The new boards are showing the replays at 16:9 not 4:3. If they were to fill the full board it would be closer to 3 1/2 :1.

If you have been to other NFL stadiums with the 4:1 boards you would know that they are broken down into 16:9 with a 4:3 side. If you went full screen at Arrowhead with replays you wold lose a lot image top and bottom. I remember when Tampa tried that and you only would see a waist to neck shot during the replay.

They need to take lessons from the Colts production crew. Man, they know how to work a crowd into a frenzy. Anybody that was at that playoff game a couple of years ago will agree.

The Colts???? God lord....everything they do they stole from the Pats and Jags?

FYI...The Jags stole all the stuff from the Chiefs. Check out the VP of Admin. who oversees the Game Production. Former VP under Carl. You are so lost...please get found.

Piss on the Colts.

Doh, I wasn't talking about the team. I was just saying their pregame production was alot more exciting than OURS (Chiefs). I repeat, I am a life long Chiefs fan. I was just stating my observations.

What about the Colts was more exciting? FYI "alot" is two words "a lot". If you want to be serious get the simple things correct.

Looking at some pix my friend took at the game. I'm diggin all the retro signage witht the squared "A" in the Arrowhead logo seen in a few places. I remember when that was in the mddle of the playing field, kinda cool and retro.

I was most impressed by how the field held up and it was great to not see all the soccer crap that has been all over the field during the Chiefs' preseason games the past few years.

Why can't they paint the Arrowhead at the 50 yard line and the End Zones for the preseason?
