In case anyone needs it spelled out, we would play at a neutral site if the AFCCG ends up being Chiefs vs. Bills. All other scenarios abide by the usual rules (so any other game the Chiefs play will be at home).

Yeah, from that view it looks like they elected the worst possible of all worlds.

A flattened out lower bowl puts folks from about mid-way (who aren't going to get that 'blimp' feel either way) further off the field, which from the lower bowl s a greater concern than being elevated.

Then as they went higher in elevation, rather than go 'out' to keep fans lower, they went up. Worse still, with no overhang, they started from way out off the field to begin with. By the time they get into that third deck, you're way off the field AND are essentially going straight up.

And that's all compounded by the open end zones that necessitated such a sprawling setup to begin with by simply removing tens of thousands of potential seats that then need to be crammed between the end goal lines.

It's just a REALLY bad design. In looking at the photo of it, I understand more now why it felt like every seat was awful. They simply appear to have picked the worst possible layout at every single step.

Like I said - it's a shit venue.

If vote passes and its comes down to Chiefs vs Bills, I'd like to see that game played in AZ. Would be much easier for a team to just stay in AZ for the SB...PLUS I could go watch the game muahaha

As I said on Wednesday. His lungs should recover in a week, and he had no tracheotomy, after a round of tests on his heart and circulation, he could actually play this year. I doubt if they go there, but he could potentially play with no risk.

Shenanigans.

SIr , I have done some tabulations on your "Number of Posts to Years of Membership" ratio and then cross calculated the quality co-efficient and determined that the macho/sexy level of this ratio is completely off the ****ing charts. The macho sexiness is too high and the number of posts is way too low. If you do not post more, I am afraid there a massive instability will be generated and the entire universe might collapse. PLEASE for the love of god increase the god damn posts/years ratio by posting more.

Thank you.

One thing I'm sick of is people bringing up the fact that the Chiefs lost to the Bills and Cincy as if that makes this all unfair.

All that means is the Chiefs losses are to better teams than theirs.

H2H is a tiebreaker. That's it.

I'm for that as well. I am in AZ that week and could extend through the weekend...

Just don't re-sod the field the day before the game

You want to play on that shit field? The one that ****ed us with injuries already?

No kidding. Forget that place. Rather play in a sandbox

Can't do it. Quality is everything. Soon I will go back to sleep for another ten years while I recharge.

Game Cancelled. (Rule book - if game cannot continue after day 2, canceled)

Winning Percentage is determining Seeds and Bye Week. (by rule book)

Neutral Location in a game 3-4 weeks away based on how the canceled game might have ended I think disrupts everything the least amount AND doesn't change the schedule. (voted on due to being fair, after a unique circumstance). It also might not even be needed.

Move on.

Why couldn't they resume on Tues/Wed?

Those same people never bring up that Cincy got blown out by Jacoby Brissett and lost to Cooper Rush and Mitch Trubisky(at home) or that Buffalo got beat by Zach Wilson and Kirk Cousins.

And just to build on this a small bit as it relates to Arrowhead.

Fellas, we are spoiled as **** by that stadium. I know they're talking about building a new one, but they oughta just build THAT again someplace.

I always enjoy the road fans coming in and sitting near us because they are universally in awe of this place by the middle of the 1st quarter. Or some schmuck that hand-waives it because "hey, I've been to The Swamp to see LSU...."

When the noobs come sit near us it reminds me a bit of how normal the experience has become for me. It's why I like to get to road games when I can to remind me of how special the place is. I've been to over 100 games at Arrowhead now; the shock/awe is largely gone. But I need to be reminded at times of how perfect the joint really is and how spoiled I've become by it.

But yeah - it's totally unreasonable that I should be chagrined by losing an AFCCG there. I mean it's not like my favorite memory of a sports fan is being in the stands and watching them hoist the Hunt trophy after beating Tennessee or anything. Hell, I'll always remember that Patriots loss. (The Bengals loss didn't happen).

As a fan, this is a kick in the dick. The experience of being there is simply being taken away in some ridiculous attempt at unearned 'equity' for a team that had the ball in their court and elected to walk away.

For those that don't make it to the stadium often, I can see how this could be much ado about nothing. For those of us that make that journey every weekend, this is absolutely bullshit.

Balto · 01-06-2023, 11:15 AM

Well, we would have to play on it for the SB so why not get a game under our belt to really fine tune cleats and what will works best?
