I would bet money the teams who have the best rated facilities don't have a lot of playoff wins in the last five years. |

Didn't we go through this already?
And then win a Super Bowl? Again? Well at least this should give Buffalo fans something to be excited about. |

Some of these things are very easy to fix. It isn't hard to upgrade the weight room and weights, get more training staff, and fix the food.
Some of these other complaints like size\space are due to Arrowhead being old. |

None of these have anything to do with Arrowhead. Chiefs practice facility is its own building and area down the hill from Arrowhead.

All the players said they loved the Raiders facilities during the Super Bowl week.
Better upgrade the practice facility, Clark. |

Have ya been in it?
It's not. I understand why the players don't like it - it's not at all impressive in person, regardless of the photographs. That said, there's just not a shitload that can be done quickly. You'll have to excavate further area under the stadium to expand it. I can't speak to the training facilities or anything - they didn't let us go back there. But the locker room is nothing to write home about. I suspect the overwhelming majority of guys came from better lockerrooms in college if they played at Power 5 schools. I know Mizzou's is better. |

The players want the shiny new training/practice facilities that have recently been built in Dallas, Minnesota, Miami, Las Vegas, etc.
This is where the players spend most of their time during the season and these facilities include a locker room that is used way more frequently than the home stadium locker room (that the Chiefs renovated at Arrowhead in 2021 but it's only used on gamedays). Is it a bad look for well paid players to be crying about facilities? Maybe, but that is what they are expressing with these survey results. |

And when you compare this to the Chiefs current practice facility... yeah there is no comparison. |

I do think the players are moreso talking about the locker room at the practice facility than at Arrowhead. The one at Arrowhead is comparable to others around the league and plus, they only have to be there a few hours 10-12 weeks a year. The practice facility one where they are there for multiple hours a day for 6 months a year is just bad. Them getting new chairs instead of the stools they had as their upgrade is kind of hilarious |
