How about leave Arrowhead where it is and build a giant dome that covers the entire complex. Kind of a miniature version of that Mall of the World in Dubai.

This idea had grown on me over the years. There wouldn't be anything else like it in the world. The Arrowhead Experience is great as it is but the ability to host a SB and other events would be huge for the KC Metro area. Being from out of town I wish there were another hotel or two across the street and there seems to be enough space that there could be a small shopping and food/bar area right there as well.

What does Frank White hope to gain for Jackson County by doing this? I'd love to understand his thinking or clearly see the upside of this move.

Their justification for refusing to extend the current deal seems to be that Jackson County pays sales tax to maintain the Truman Sports Complex but does not receive direct revenue from the stadiums. They want to be cut in on the profits.

BS. The only reason White is being a bitch is he is still pissed that he was never hired to manage the MLB team.

Anyone who thinks any of this is about "liking sports" is an absolute moron. The economic impact these teams have on the county is enormous. Jobs, tax revenue, and more options for consumers is far more important than liking sports or not.

Bring'em both over to the Kansas side. I wouldn't mind shaving an hour off the drive. #selfish

As someone not familiar with the details of the original rolling roof design, were there plans to be able to enclose the sides and temperature control the stadium? If it's simply a roof, wouldn't that just protect from rain/snow, but still be cold as balls? How does that progress us toward hosting a Super Bowl?
