Vanished into thin air, like KC's chances to ever host a SB.
In before: "Who gives a shit about hosting a game that we haven't played in for about 50 years?"

What actually happened is, the construction unions went on strike during the building of the sports complex. It put the building timeline way behind schedule, and there were massive cost over runs. The Jackson County Sports Authority told a lie to the public because Jackson County is a heavily Democratic and Union Membership County. The Sports Authority said that the cost prediction failed to account for enough money for access roads into the stadium, so the money that would have went to the roof was spent instead on access roads. So the rolling roof was axed. That really sucked, because the rolling roof idea was what sold the project to the voters. Now, a rolling roof would be way too expensive and not the best coverage alternative. Arrowhead could be enclosed for wet weather, but would be hard to enclose for cold. And again, the Chiefs like it being cold in December because they see it as a competitive advantage against other AFC West teams. Like today.

If we lose today, we should start one of those gofundme deals and buy all the Post Toasties in the world. Then we should slip in during the dead of night and fill the stadium to the brim. Then we should invite Goodall and all the other NFL coaches and all the other GMs to come and piss in the biggest bowl of corn flakes in history.

Maybe after we win the Superbowl, they can ride that wave to something like this.

While you're at it, replace those ridiculously tiny video screens! It's embarrassing. I had trouble finding/seeing the down and distance during the game...
Needs something like this:

Compared to the new standard in the NFL (ie stadiums built in the last 10 years), Arrowhead is a dump. The flip side to that coin though is that cutting edge stadiums aren't free. I would rather pay reasonable ticket prices for Arrowhead, than to see 80% ticket price increases to pay for the latest and greatest stadium. Ticket prices will be going up enough as is, just because of Mahomes. |

Dome football sucks.
But it is still better than that damn Oakland Coliseum field. |

Hey, it's Arrowhead and I love it on a perfect 60-degree fall day where the sun is shining. It's the anything-but-perfect summer and winter days that have to be fixed. Ad for the K, the face that is wasn't moved into the area south of I-670, or on the river north of the River Market is simply stupid. I would have preferred just south of I-670 to add to the skyline, but either would have worked. MLB is a downtown sport IMO, not some "place next to the highway" sport. Plain and simple, 80+ games a year needs to do its part to support the area around the stadium.

I think the "Jackson County" thing to do would be to cover Arrowhead in a giant blue tarp. Agree?
Clark, make it so! |

Would be nice if they flat out built a new stadium. The one being built in LA makes me jealous. Maybe when the SBs start flying in with Pat it'll happen?
