Yes. Would absolutely love a rolling roof. I literally will not consider going to a game past Oct 31st. With a rolling roof...I would and we could get a SB and more events. I know plenty of ppl who cancelled on the Billy Joel concert because it was 110 heat index.

For current times, it is an anamoly that it is county owned stadiums that one team prefers to stay in and the other teams wants to move but needs a deal with the county to move before 2031, and they just assumed that required continued relationship with county on new stadium. If the Royals or Chiefs end up in new stadiums, they should seek to own the buildings and the only public ask is for Star bonds in Kansas or TIF in KCMO. Possibly another public ask could be deal on land or a 100 year lease like KC Current has. I think those could be ways to get development financing incentives that do not require voters approving a new tax. The value of those incentives would end up being more dollars than the ask on extending the 3/8ths and teams would own their building. Use the tax collections from the venues to repay the financing for a couple decades. Chiefs or KCMO taking ownership of Arrowhead from County might be the best move for Arrowhead. County would look pretty stupid owning Arrowhead as a concert venue and possibly a UFL team. County would probably have to rename the place. TBH, Considering that the NFL team salary cap for players is $255 million and the players do not even get half of the earned team revenue. The Chiefs probably could build and own their own venue and remain profitable, especailly if the only public ask was the same incentives available to developers. |

The public doesn't want it. They voted overwhelmingly no in the last renovation that was on a separate ballot. Only candy asses want it. it's a good thing KCMO predominantly does not have sugar asses.

Yeah, KC weather isn't great by any means, but it's not nearly shitty enough for a dome. It's nice here for those 110° days and I'd never want to go to Lambeau during a cold front in January.... but, one -30° windchill night doesn't mean Arrowhead should have a dome (even if you could argue moving that one game).

The roof was a great engineering dream that later turned into an ingenious sacrificial compromise. Just like this latest vote the prior one was also debated with a lot of similar vote no arguments. What the roof vote did was give people their chance to vote no and tell the owners to shove it while feeling slightly better about voting yes on the extortion tax for their beloved team... a compromise.

As an owner you just write off 30% of potential sales? And as already mentioned, the usefulness for things besides football the rest of the year. But I do think outdoor teams, get a slight edge, so stay outside. |
