Nowadays though, everyone wants their own stadium. Only 3 stadiums (Network Associates Coliseum in Oakland, the Metrodome in Minneapolis and Pro Player Stadium in Miami) are still home to both a football and baseball team. The dual-stadium thing much like what KC has is becoming the big thing. Seattle, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and soon Dallas/Ft. Worth will have 2 stadiums sharing the same parking lot.
There's actually good reason for that too...anyone hear about how the Minnesota Twins had to stop their game in the 11th inning or so so they could convert the dome into football for the Gophers.
