Expensive swing and miss.

I think we all knew it was coming but it sucks.
Arrowhead is a special place and it is just hard to imagine the Chiefs not playing there.
Kansas is gonna bankroll 70% of it, the state 60% and the cities 10%, the other 30% is on the hunt family who has the wealth to pay for the whole thing and then some.

I wonder what Lamar is thinking as he looks down from above, Arrowhead was his favorite place on earth.

the only stadiums older are Lambeau and Solider (which is also going to be replaced).

while nice, how do you really have a home field advantage in a dome?

The specs say it will seat at least 65,000. Arrowhead capacity is 76,416.

Hopefully at least be a retractable roof. Arrrowhead was originally meant to have a retractable roof but it was deemed too expensive to engineer at the time...the stadium was about 25 years ahead of it's time. I assume this will probably go out toward the race track?

I bet the fan used a bad word, which would free Metcalf of any wrongdoing.

What I said.

Steelers WR DK Metcalf had a history with the Lions fan he confronted during Sunday's game, per @TomPelissero.

Metcalf reported the same fan to Seahawks security last season while playing for Seattle.

A source close to Metcalf says the fan called Metcalf's mom a derogatory word and called Metcalf "something we both know you don't call a black man."

Who the heck are the chefs?

[mr.zorak]

The lack of defense and pass rush by the Colts is offensive.

AT&T Stadium gets surprisingly loud on the rare instance when the Cowboys do something positive.

[SwahiliSteve]

Who exactly are the chiefs gonna get for Thursday to be their quarterback? Are they gonna pull a Phillip Rivers?

Chad Hene may be the obvious choice 

[Hogslobber]

Need to see what Bill Kenney or Steve DeBerg are doing.

[buff2.0]

They need Fitzmagik

great googly moogly. have a snickers.

Holy sunflowers, Kansas got the chiefs but wow... how do you look at your constituents with a straight face when their taxes go up?

The state gets ONE suite.

https://x.com/joepompliano/status/2003565770039554498?s=61&t=yqgft3mqzhJjVNQN1flX9A

The Chiefs will receive $1.8 billion in public funding for a new $3 billion stadium in Kansas — the largest public subsidy ever for a U.S. sports stadium project.

The Chiefs' new stadium will have about 65,000 seats. That's 10,000 fewer seats than Arrowhead Stadium, likely leading to more luxury suites and premium clubs.

The state will own the stadium and then rent it back to the Chiefs. The Chiefs will be required to pay $7 million in rent during the first year, with rent payments escalating annually by the greater of 2% or the rate of inflation (CPI). However, the rent money doesn't really go to the state, which I'll explain in a second.

The Chiefs must occupy the new stadium for 30 years. Once the initial term is complete, the Chiefs will have six 5-year options to renew their lease. If the Chiefs exercise all renewal options, the potential occupancy term is 60 years.

The Chiefs will retain 100% of revenue from stadium operations (tickets, concessions, parking, suite sales), naming rights and sponsorships, personal seat license sales, mixed-use development operations, and team headquarters and practice facility operations. The government has the contractual right to veto any naming rights or sponsorship deal, but only if it falls within specific categories, such as tobacco, vaping, adult entertainment, firearms, or political entities.

The state will receive one complimentary suite within the stadium. If that suite becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond the Chiefs' control (e.g., the World Cup or Super Bowl), the team must provide the state with a comparable suite. The state will cover all food and beverage expenses inside its suite.

Kansas cupped the balls and everything on that deal.

Less seats keeps prices up as that room will go to suites.  The dome is louder as long as your seats stay home and don't get sold on stub hub.

That will leave Missouri with no nfl team.

And no nba team. Ouch. Guess they're an mlb state.

That sounds like a pretty shitty deal for the state of Kansas but I'd glean there's some other significant sources of revenue not in the post above.

Yeah - the state might be taking it up the keister but you don't fund a stadium in hopes of direct profitability. It's the ancillary tax revenue that theoretically makes it worthwhile. No one cares adequately about the long term economics so the short term kickbacks to those that matter will always win out.
