I think that's what will end up happening. Jackson county will bend over backwards to keep them where they are. If they impose a new tourism or sales tax to raise money people will have to vote for it, that's where the issues may come in. They voted against the rolling roof several years ago but the team stunk then. [Reply]

The issue, again, is just the location. I supposed you have the whole season where you can do big tailgates and have big watch parties for away games and such, but that's just a big chunk where there's nothing going on there. [Reply]

They have to invest in the surrounding area. There isn't anything but Arrowhead there after Kaufman moves. The thing about ballpark villiage is it has tourist stuff close to it. Development of the surrounding lands will be key. [Reply]

Meanwhile Jackson County is still under water from the Power and Light investments.
Amazing how all of these downtown investments are so great for the city yet we still have shit schools, shit roads, trash, homeless, and rampant crime. [Reply]
I get it the focus is money, but Arrowhead is undoubtedly a top league environment that certainly wouldn't be equal with "upgrades." But after what they did to San Diego & Oakland, it may unfortunately be inevitable [Reply]
This is about the practice facility but interesting answer from Andy Reid today when talking about some of the grades from the recent NFLPA survey... the one where the Chiefs rated poorly in several areas.
#Chiefs Andy Reid said he doesn't think the facility is behind the times and that you don't usually upgrade a facility that you may be leaving soon.

The Chiefs can still make incremental improvements/upgrades to their training facility/locker room... similar to when they renovated their gameday locker room inside of Arrowhead Stadium a few years ago, before the stadium issue is resolved. [Reply]

I'd root for the Missouri Redskinsnecks.
Yeah I bet you would
