Should have made the new tax 5/16 instead of 3/8. Then could have claimed new tax that is less than old tax.

I think it will pass. And I want it to pass so that we get the important part here (the Royals going downtown). But I just can't get over how pathetic than Chiefs proposal was. It's just downright embarrassing. Idc what DCole says, that proposal is shitty for everyone. It is totally unbefitting of a dynastic team with super-star celebrities like Mahomes & Kelce.Metro wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:44 pmDo you think the vote is going to fail?TheUrbanRoo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:44 pm Tbh that Chiefs proposal is so shitty and disappointing that I honestly think it would be better for them to go Kansas and actually get a real stadium setup that they deserve.

Opinions are like....... I get it, some people wanted to change Arrowhead dramatically. As a long time STM, I don't want it changed too the point it doesn't feel like Arrowhead. I'm not saying the conceptual plans we saw are perfect. There are plenty of things I wanted and didn't see but I also know the plans we saw will change over the actual design phase. The only thing I'm very opposed to is a roof. That's on Arrowhead or a new stadium one day.TheUrbanRoo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:46 pmNo I don't.

I actually love how the renovation doesn't change the appearance of Arrowhead. The most recent renovation to Lambeau makes it look hideous. With Buffalo getting a new stadium, we have the only classic stadium left. Arrowhead is now the Wrigley or Fenway of the NFL. We are the stadium on every NFL fans bucket list.TheUrbanRoo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:46 pmI think it will pass.

It's not even classic though. It's just concrete spiral staircases and an endless parking lot, all from the 60's. Lambeau atleast looks old. Ours looks old, but in that crappy suburban 70s way like the Oakland Colliseum is.dnweava wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:55 pmI actually love how the renovation doesn't change the appearance of Arrowhead.

The curves of Arrowhead are so damn iconic and amazing looking. Saying it looks old/crappy and comparing it to the Oakland is maybe the most asinine thing I've ever seen on this board.TheUrbanRoo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 3:10 pmIt's not even classic though.

I agree with you and part of the reason why I'm voting NO. this thing was rushed. Let's cut the BS hash out everything and submit it for a vote that will easily pass.TheUrbanRoo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:46 pmI think it will pass.

Huh? I agree it's a classic, but it's also dated at the same time. The renovations are not good enough to really give the stadium a modern feel IMO. The press box looks like an add on etc. They could have done something more with the exterior and kept the bowl nearly un-touched.Imarealperson wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 3:50 pm I think you’re overstating some of these opinions from much of the World Cup “Community”.
Also, the “people I talk to outside of KC”. I think you have an opinion then try to cobble phantom support to back it.
Thanks for sharing. That was the last thing I was holding out for.bspecht wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 1:44 pm "Crossroads Community Association and @Royals sign Agreement to address stadium proposal."

I'll be the first to say that Arrowhead is a destination for NFL fans. But it's not because of the stadium itself. It's the whole experience.DColeKC wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 4:12 pm How’s it constantly make the top 3 “bucket list” stadiums on every single list that comes out if it’s just a “KC” thing?
