Stadiums like Wrigley, Fenway, Lambeau, etc, were constructed largely using steel frame. It’s much easier to replace or mend steel I-beam construction than concrete, which naturally degrades over time.
He said rough estimates to truly keep Arrowhead viable for 25-40 more years would rival the cost to build a brand new stadium, and would likely make the stadium not usable for a full season of football.

Why in the hell have Kansas City or that matter any freaking city anywhere not start replacing concrete high rise, skyscrappers or other tall buildings that have been made from steel and concrete ?
Just think about that one?
KC hasn't had any earthquakes, ground shifting events for many years!
