About the stadium renovations...
 

I read the renovations will be completely finished in 2011. On the jumbotron at Arrowhead however, they are using "The New Arrowhead" as a selling point for 2009 tickets. Anybody know just how much or which part of this renovation will be completed by next season? I was looking forward to the concourse renovations in particular.

I know it's hard to type with one hand but Jesus...

You'll probably have some nice steelwork to gaze upon.

Man, that avy is an actual pic.

Cut him some slack, would ya?

the chiefs renovations aren't as visually pleasing as the royals

who cares though, who wants to be at either?

If Herm and Carl are BOTH gone, I'm there. Shitty construction or not.

The only thing I know is that the hd video screens and the video ribbon will be installed in time for the 09 season.

So can I get a recap on what all is being/has been done? The first and only time I've been there was the Raider game this year... sucks I know.

Arrowhead with a video ribbon just seems wrong.

Meh, I don't mind.

It's not like it's Wrigley.

Some stadiums are famous for history. Chiefs fans made Arrowhead famous.

Put a team the fans can believe in on the field, and Arrowhead will be back in it's proper place.

Plus side to the renovations are that they saved millions by removing some key features.

After CP is canned and most likely Herm et al., the designers and C Hunt agreed to remove the 15 suicide booths that were to be located through out the stadium. They decided that the cause for most of the hopelessness had been removed. They are now replacing them with Carl Peterson Era simulators, apparently in an attepmt to stay connected to the past. It is rumored that patrons can insert a dollar, or any higher amount, and watch as the machine takes your money and gives you nothing for it. This may help teach the younger fans what they got to miss out on.

Personally, I think it is a nice touch. Upon the day the Chiefs are looked on as the current Pats are, I think this will be a good way to keep our fans intouch with what it takes to get to such great heights.

they will weld the piss troughs together
hoist it up to Peterson's office window
and send Carl's belongings down to the parking lot

But we won so many regular season games...

Fine. I hear the machines are going to flash 2 pictures when you put your money in, no matter the amount. The first picture will be the sea of red cheering after winning a regular season contest, as made clear by the fancy gothic script at the bottom of the image that will read, "regular season victory." The second picture will be the red sea pissed off and leaving early from a playoff loss. This too will be made clear by the script at the bottom that will say, "early exit after a playoff loss."
