As for what I want in a stadium, here's my list.
1. Easily accessible via subway or light rail or other large scale people movers. Or even better (for me) walkable from hotels. Maybe even close to the airport, though I recognize that's a niche need for me. 2. Stuff to do before the game that's better than walking laps on the concourse. A team history museum is nice, but you need at least two hours of activity that's not static for repeat visitors. Per Post 105, it doesn't have to be in the stadium itself. It can be across the parking lot, and doesn't even need to be football-oriented if the private sector just wants to make a big mall/entertainment area within walking distance. 3. Big TVs in the concession areas. We're talking big TVs. Big ones. 4. Individual urinals. We live in the 21st century. 5. More leg room in the seats would be nice, though I recognize that's a tradeoff with visibility. 6. A little radiant heating in the concrete below the seats would be nice. 7. Unique and recognizable architecture. When you tune in on television, you instantly know it's Arrowhead. I think that's my main list. |

Again, like Arrowhead, Kauffman shows no signs of needing replacement when you attend. Feels like everything has been upgraded and kept up-to-date. I guess we just have to trust that the concrete is about to disintegrate even though it looks fine to us laypeople. |

The Royals should really re-consider the downtown stadium concept.
This isn’t the 1990’s anymore… downtown isn’t filled with workers in offices who will be in close proximity to attend 81 home baseball games. |

If that one and done comment is truthful Hunt has already made up his mind about leaving Arrowhead. At that point just throw up your hands and let them go to Wyandotte or Johnson.

Chiefs at Arrowhead all-time winning pct: .603 Chiefs away games all-time winning pct: .461 That seems pretty crazy. We haven't always had Reid/Mahomes to make sure we just kick ass everywhere no matter what. |

I assume that Patrick Mahomes II is lowering the other teams' home winning percentage a lot.

Can update with screens everywhere and charge very minimal for attendance to view games LIVE. Also have open food/drink vendors for revenue like a normal game. I think a lot of people/families would come have the tailgate experience and then pile into Kauffman to watch the game live on a jumbotron. |
