Chiefs Is it time to replace Arrowhead with a dome? - Page 20

Deberg_1990 · 12-22-2013, 10:08 PM

The cold, crappy Dec/Jan. KC weather doesn't appear to provide any real home field advantage anymore.

At least the fans wouldn't be so miserable in a nice climate controlled facility. No more thousands of no shows or leaving at halftime on bad weather days.

Discuss......

While it would be nice for extreme temp games, the owners can pay for it. Football should be played in the elements.

I like the idea but I agree Hunt and Glass should pay for it.

Just bring some NIACIN and some IRISH WHISKEY to ARROWHEAD for those January games.

I don't go to Royals games in August and I don't go to Chiefs games in December. Life is too short to be miserable.

I used to be a "football is played in the elements" guy but the game is different and will continue to change. It's faster, it requires perfect timing, and health is at an absolute premium. I'd rather watch two great offenses play in ideal conditions than a mud pit or a snowstorm (as fun as that Bills-Colts game seemed last season).

If the Chiefs had a retractable or rolling roof, I'd want them to keep it open as much as possible... but if the weather is extreme enough to adversely affect play, close that baby up.

We have a ****ing Ferrari now, and these cave trolls want to park it on the street.

Also a good reason.

**Easy 6** · 11-13-2018, 06:03 PM

Gonna say the same thing I surely said when this thread first came out... NO

Mud games
Wind games
Snow games
Rain games

Thats all part of playing football, its a game meant to be played outside... those conditions have historically created some of the most beautiful and fascinating football games of all time

The league is already doing its best to make the game unrecognizable... lets not lose one of the last vestiges of old school, snot nosed, classic football magic

AFCCG
Arrowhead at night
Steel Men are coming
Theres a blizzard blowing in

Hell.
Yes.

THATS football

So, no.

Whaaaaaaat?

Mahomes retired in 10-15 years? I'm thinking another GOAT-level of tenure....18-20+ years of service with multiple SB rings.

I bet Arrowhead gets a new/refreshed stadium before Mahomes is out of KC

-King- · 11-13-2018, 06:14 PM

Used to say no... But now I'd lean towards yeah. As of now, it's pretty much impossible to take a family with younger kids to a game after October. That's my reason for saying yeah now

This was the "concept drawing" that was shown to voters in 2007. It was like a big clear tent over Arrowhead. Jackson County voters said, uh....no.

Just awful, an extremely ugly band-aid

There isnt a single QB in the NFL better suited to playing in the elements than Mahomes

That big arm can turn the weather against visiting QBs, its why Buffalo ****ed up so bad... Mahomes would've been perfect for playing in those conditions

Money is a genuine throwback... he could play anywhere, in any era, in any system and still be legit

I've not given up on Arrowhead in December (especially if the games matter), but **** the K in August! Not even if it's free!
