$3 billion new Chiefs’ stadium in undecided KS location, 70% taxpayer funded to generate move across state lines

Roof/dome technology will be fascinating to see how it plays out in other sports facilities, seems to let a lot of natural light in

Do you really need a dome just for a handful of December and January games…or heat in early to mid September?

"Hunt added that the new stadium will hold 70,000 fans and will be built with the idea of amplifying the crowd noise."

It's going to like the old HHH Metrodome, LOUD

I doubt the grid structure of the ETFE roof is going to be nearly as unnoticeable as depicted in the renderings. Is that a B-2 bomber flying overhead?

They're not building a $3B dome for only the 10-12 Chiefs home games a year (half of which are probably being played in good outdoor weather). It's all about being able to utilize this kind of facility year round for things like mega-concerts (Taylor Swift, etc.), NCAA tournaments, and the one Super Bowl that the NFL will award to them for fleecing the taxpayers in such a grand fashion.

Here's the complete set of their renderings (six images total):

IMO, Sox should consider a retractable dome. Something like the ones in Seattle or Toronto. It make all the sense for fans and for the owners. The bad baseball weather days in Chicago seem to increase every year. It has gotten to the point where I will not even think about heading to a game where the forecast is questionable - i.e., hey, raining a bit now but there is a window to maybe get this one in. Then the cold and snow in late March early April, some uncomfortably hot weather or dodging summer rain storms. A retractable dome would be a bigger investment up front, but it would easily pay for itself.

From the early discussions, it does not appear that a dome will fit on the 78 or Amtrak sites.

We're not building a stadium with a focus on the skyline view and very short right field to be a retractable dome. The dome ain't gonna happen.

I still don't see how they get a park in that railroad yard. It's like Al Bundy trying to get a woman's size 8 foot in a size 4 shoe.

I think they will find a way to also grab part of the BNSF section to increase the site dimensions.

Because I am a fanatic, loyalty goes with the territory.

I fail to see the difference between AH and Hammond if this is the criteria.

A fanatic is a person who holds extreme, unreasonable, or obsessive enthusiasm and devotion for a cause, idea, or activity. Often unwilling to consider differing viewpoints, they exhibit an intense zeal that goes far beyond what is considered normal or rational.

It's sports 🙂
