Official: Arrowhead Final Four Speculation
Rolling Roof supporters claim that Kansas City could compete for a Final Four if the roof is approved. What do you think?

Without a doubt. I'm frankly shocked the SOS people aren't bringing this up.

Maybe they'll throw us a bone on one final four, but that's it. Too many other locations are much more appealing. Shuttle busses are not attractive to attendees, especially when they can avoid them at other locations.

What is the transportation situation like in Indy? NOLA's mass transit sucks and they host it quite often. I remember I took a shuttle bus to the Super Dome in 2003.

Yeah but you can pretty easily walk to most anywhere a tourist would want to go in NOLA.KCMax wrote: What is the transportation situation like in Indy? NOLA's mass transit sucks and they host it quite often. I remember I took a shuttle bus to the Super Dome in 2003.
Frankly I think we have just as good of a chance of getting the final four at Sprint as TSC. In fact even with a roof, I wouldn't take it for granted that the NCAA would choose to stick it out at TSC over Sprint.

Final four is not going to Sprint or any 18k seat arena (for the 50 billionth time )LenexatoKCMO wrote: Yeah but you can pretty easily walk to most anywhere a tourist would want to go in NOLA.

Yes.
Though we could have a retractable roof over Arrowhead only for half the cost of the rolling roof, and still get the Final 4.

Re: Official: Arrowhead Final Four Speculation
final fours will never again go to traditional arenas. when they can get 50-80k in domed stadiums, there is no point in going back.LenexatoKCMO wrote: Yeah but you can pretty easily walk to most anywhere a tourist would want to go in NOLA.

Re: Official: Arrowhead Final Four Speculation
This all depends on whether or not the rolling roof could create a climate controlled environment (wasn't this discussed somewhere else?). If so, the answer if of course we would get the final four. KC has a BIG history with the NCAA that will not be easily forgotten by either party. We are unequivocally the best host for the big XII tourney and all the NCAA events we have held have gone on very well including the 1988 Final Four. Better here than Indie.

Come on the NCAA didn't move to Indy for nothing. They have something against KC. We'll never see another Final 4 even with a rolling roof.

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't think the NCAA is too particularly enamored with Kansas City anymore.ShowME wrote: Come on the NCAA didn't move to Indy for nothing. They have something against KC. We'll never see another Final 4 even with a rolling roof.

I may be right. I may be wrong. But there is a lot of gray area in-between.
