Looks like we found a Frank White voter.

Looks like an option for TWO rolling roofs was thought of at some point but I really like the single roof that covers the middle area for activities and such. Looking at that 3rd picture you can easily see how this would work and how they actually designed the stadiums to at some point include the rolling roof.

The rolling roof at the time was way ahead of its time it should have happened then. Now it just looks like a massive Quanset Hut.

We can do much better than that and keep an outdoor stadium with a retractable roof. That way you lilies can sit comfortably out of the rain and not mus your doo.

Cops used to watch entrances and exits when going to Kansas City as a kid. I saw police pulling cars too many times. Once I moved to Johnson county it was much easier to buy beer.

Roads need major attention, but the city board approves a silly hotel & convention complex that won't make the city a better place to live.

More like Frank White is being a **** because the Royals fired his ass from being a tv announcer and wouldn't consider him for a coaching position.

Its not just about the weather, and watching a game and not freezing. People who don't live in Jackson County don't give a shit about the taxpayers getting stuck paying millions an millions of extra dollars because Frank White didn't make the team put protections in place for Jackson County residents.

If people want to be upset with someone, be upset with the clowns from the Royals running the push for a new stadium. Literally, they have approached the entire thing like an unprepared 4th grader who suddenly sees a couple of toys they want, making an impromptu bid for an allowance increase in the middle of the Walmart toy section, only to have another breakdown because they have to choose only one of the toys.

How could anyone cast an informed vote for maintaining the tax, when the Royals can't even present a plan for their proposed stadium because they can't decide where to put it.

A football stadium with a retractable roof elevates Kansas City and the greater metro area.

Also, having a retractable roof will generate revenue for Jackson County and the businesses in and around Kansas City.

And, yeah, people won't have to get frostbite, and lose digits in December and January. Oh, how can we be real football fans if we don't get frostbite?

And, imagine how much louder we could make the new Arrowhead, with all that sound bouncing off the roof and onto the field. If we had had a roof, Elway may have just walked off the field in tears, instead of asking the ref to quiet the crowd.

Does Frank White and any dumbshit that supports him realize that the Chiefs/Royals have all of the leverage?

Nashville is actively trying to get an MLB team.

Kansas would welcome the Chiefs with open arms.

It still looks very cool and would work well. I personally hope they never cover Arrowhead, or build a new retractable roof stadium. But if they do, I hope the 1st option would be to build a rolling over the current stadium. Just my opinion.

Kansas City would be back on the Final Four circuit and would be the site of the Big 12 Championship game in football.

Keep the stadium an outdoor stadium.

Don't build the retractable roof. It's ugly as ****. Looks like Chernobyl's new safe confinement. That thing rolls over the building it covers, too

I guess there's a chance someone will win it now who isn't Texas or Oklahoma :evil:

No one is forcing anyone to attend when it's cold. Yet the fans still show up in droves, with plenty of experience to battle the elements. Just like the players and dozens of other people on the field. No different with the heat early in the season, or the temp on the fields.

Your problem is with the NFL, not the Stadium.

I have attended the cold/rainy/snow laden/freezing temps of a Chief's football game before......

Give me that anytime over attending a game in FL where the temps are so high you can't find anywhere to get relief. (Like the previous game a few years back in Jax)

The humidity at the JAX game this year was crazy too. Impressed the players can handle it.

A retractable roof is ugly? lol

Plenty of retractable roofs are awesome. This is a no brainer. Buffalo already ****ed up not building a dome of some kind

That would be awesome. Nobody here cares about the Royals unless they are winning
