Chiefs have to play all games on the road?
 

According to Keitzman the steal workers are going on strike and if the construction isn't done the Chiefs will have to play all there games on the road next season. Keitzman is full of shit.

roofles

Well that would lead to a 1-15 season.

Does anyone know much about Labor Unions?

And the stimulus continues to fail.

Obama...dang...

WTF

there was murmurs about this a couple weeks ago. Should be interesting

They're moving the games to the Sprint Center......

Wait, why?

Is Arrowhead under Construction?

If this happened I'm sure they would be able to play at Kansas or Mizzou instead of having all road games.

:tinfoil:

Well unions are pretty stupid to begin with but that is served for the other forum.

Guess the Texan logo wont be in Kansas City then.

more than I care to

Nah Keitzman said it has something to do with revenue. The Chiefs would make more money if they play all there games on the road.

Neither stadium could hold the season ticket base.

Oh brother

It is under construction remember the renovation?

Playing the games at Kansas is an issue because the Chiefs play in Missouri and the Mizzou campus is a good distance away and isn't that big...

There are all kinds of issues if this is true.

You guys are funny.

Are they moving all of the games to LA?!? Is this going to be a secret experiment?!?

yes. i know force breaks strikes. 10M Chiefs fans V. 100000 steel workers.

Good thing this team will probably suck anyway

Kietzman's "source" says a strike of 30 day or more would cause the Chiefs to play all games on the road. Said they could play at KU or MU but both have issues. Or would play at each of their opponents stadiums.

The Dome in St. Louis will hold them.
There were more Chiefs fans in the Dome when KC played St. Louis than there were Rams fans.
Playing in St. Louis....I would like that.

well i work out there during the season. my job may not be there anymore, lol.

Are the "steal" workers going remove the seats and the field?

The only way to solve this problem is to scream while running around in circles.

Maybe we can cut a deal with the Cowboys and play there during all their away games, then wear our Texans jerseys all year long. :)

I guess the stadium is all ****ed up from the renovation if you stop in the middle it probably wouldn't be suitable to hold people.

MU football games are played on Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. Built in 1926, the stadium has an official capacity of 68,349, and features a nearly 100 ft (30 m). wide "M" behind the north end zone. Men's and women's basketball games are played at the Mizzou Arena, located just south of the football stadium. The Hearnes Center hosted men's and women's basketball from 1972 to 2004 and is still used for other athletic and school events.

How many season ticket holders are there?

I'd imagine they would have more room for KC fans than an opponents stadium would.

well yeah, it's got at least some validity to it. it's being announced on 610 and 810 now.

this location has about 83,000 seats:D

69,000

NFL stadiums hold more people so if Chiefs fans didn't travel the fans there would just buy the tickets so the Chiefs would make more money...and the Chiefs would get the home revenue for the game.

**** YEAH!

KC fans fleeced again?

King Carl talked about this before the renovations took place about moving the games to Columbia or Lawrence. He said those places couldnt hold the season ticket base so it was not logical to move games there. Basically in the region are only choices would be Lincoln or Norman.

That's there plan.

Yes, it would work. The people in Nebraska are Chiefs fans. The people who can't get into Memorial Stadium on Saturday could get in on Sunday.

So they weren't going to do the Mini Camp at Arrowhead this year anyway? That was always fun

Somewhere Carl is laughing his satanic ass off.

Fuggin' A?

Qualcomm Stadium has about 68,500 seats total.

You guys are Hardcore.

I am WAY ahead of you.

it looks like he saw this one coming...........

Didn't they make a big deal about using local labor? And now these ****ers go and strike? That's pretty rude.

Economy's down the tubes so this union thinks it's a good time to strike? **** them and bring on the scabs.


PhilFree:arrow:

There isn't really one dominant NFL team in the area as far as fans go, there's just as many Donk, Viking and Bears fans as there are Chiefs fans here.

Well. We already have Texas emblems already.

envy?

610 says they might need to have another bi state tax to get this done :(

And that is during down years. During the 90's it was around 72k to 74k with a waiting list.

This just in, the Chiefs will wear their throwback uniforms all year and will play in Houston.

Sounds like the Funkhouser revolt has begun! Score Hunt-1 Funkhouser-0.

While I agree with the sentiment, as big as this project is, finding that many experienced steel workers that aren't union who are willing to cross the line could be difficult.

Ironically a strike occured when they built the Sports Complex thats why the dome was scrapped.

Luckily they have enough done at Kauffman they say they'll be fine there. What I don't understand is that the season is roughly 4 months long (well for this team this year it will be) if they lost one month of construction or even two wouldn't they be able to play the last two or three months at Arrowhead? Seems to make sense to me :shrug:

This is why I hate Unions. If we demanded a raise and walked off of our job we'd get canned. Strength in numbers!

Or not strong enough to stand on their own!

Keitzman is a dolt.


That said, given the number of people looking for work, it would be a great time to tell any striking Union workers to gfy and hit the bricks.

Guess we won't have to worry about blackouts. LMAO

They could easily squeeze a couple thousand on the east side in the grass and on the M.

I'm sure that the recently released financial services sales dick will make a great steel worker. Maybe the drive-tru order takers that just got replaced by someone in India? I'm sure that they can hang steel.

You know.... this is the perfect opportunity for True Fans™ to show their real commitment to the team. They should all donate their free time to helping with the construction.... Pull together! We can do this!

The Bears played in Champagne, IL while the spaceship landed in Soldier Field.

I think Champagne from Chicago is a further drive than what KC to CoMo is.

Parking and space period would be a ****ing nightmare if they played in CoMo.

The season ticket base would NEVER go to Norman, and Lincoln isn't exactly convenient either. Faurot Field can hold more than KU's stadium, and you could expand it with temporary seating behind each endzone (field level), and above the Hill. You could easily get it into the mid 70s if you had to. No, it's not Arrowhead, but it's the best local option there is.

As for the union situation, either they do right by the Kansas City area, or the area should turn against them in every way possible. This is nothing but a stick up by Labor. Work for the money that was in the project and be HAPPY that you have a job!

Will this delay the release of the schedule?

How many people does the kansas speedway hold?

Most ****ed up offseason EVER!!!

I hope it does happen. I would love for the Unions to continue doing this stupid stuff. Then, MAYBE, people will start seeing them for the fact that they are nothing more than legalized organized crime that is backed by the democratic party.

Dang you finally said something sensible. :)

I know quite a few union carpenters, including union steel workers and millwrights in KC.

I hope they can work something out, but to assume a construction worker isn't replacable is pretty funny. You're right that some 60 year old sprint IT guy probably can't, but strong backs are available. ALOT of construction guys are laid off right now.

Yeah, I'm sure the company isn't trying to **** them or anything. They wouldn't do that.:drool:

Hell yeah Kansas Speedway could hold them all and then some. That would be the best solution rather than trucking to Lawrence, Columbia, Lincoln or where the f#*k ever.

Also a caller just called and said her husband is a union worker and they don't have a say or a vote in what the union does. One man by the name of Terry Davis is the local president and he alone has the say so on whether the union excepts the construction companies bid or not. I say KC needs to go full on Nuthooks for this economic terrorists. He's basically committing extortion and using our beloved sports team as bait for these local businesses to put up more money. I think alot of union guys are going to continue to work because they know how lucky they are to have a good job.

Fire them all and hire illegal immigrants. That'll fix things.

The companies could be the a-holes as well, there is no doubt about that.

Given the economy and the number of construction companies that are slow, the number of employees that are laid off, I'd say they should probably be happy to still have their jobs, still be getting their benefits and have work.

There aren't alot of construction companies recording record profits the past couple of years that I'm aware of, are you?

I don't know what the situation is. If the company is asking for givebacks, don't blame the union for striking.

No way....there is too much $$$ at stake for all sides.

Iowanian do the union workers still get paid while they are on strike?

ROFL

No.

i'd say this ladies husband doesn't attend any union meetings. the president, or head of the bargaining committee can accept or refuse the proposal, but the membership has to vote to ratify the contract.
sec

So why are they striking?
