McDowell: Why The Chiefs Pursuit to Renovate Arrowhead Has Hit A Snag
We've been talking about this for a few weeks over in the Royals thread. It's been interesting to see how quiet the Chiefs have been while the Royals negotiate for a new stadium, and in the last couple weeks there's more and more smoke that the Chiefs and Royals staying in Jackson County is not a sure thing. Sam McDowell finally wrote about it. It's a very long column so I just picked some highlights. It's a good breakdown of the situation. It sounds like Kansas hasn't made any serious offers but they're the obvious alternative if Jackson County decides to punt, and it sounds like the Royals and Chiefs want answers soon.

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. |

[QUOTE=Shiver Me Timbers;17346320]WAY back in the day we used to drive to Nebraska From NC Kansas. It was easier to fake being 19yrs old (as opposed to 21) when you are 16.[/QUOTE
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. |

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. |

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 |

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 |
