I'd actually love to see the Chiefs move to Kansas, but yeah I'm willing to let it slide if Chiefs don't move or go downtown.DColeKC wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 8:46 am Chiefs aren’t leaving arrowhead for several decades if ever. Royals will move downtown sooner than later and it makes zero sense to build anything near arrowhead like an entertainment district. Start with the fact there’s only a handful of home games per year and add in that KC is one of the lowest concession buying markets in all of the NFL due to tailgating. No developer is taking on that project. Football stadiums are meant to be a bit more isolated compared to baseball.
There would be complete outrage if either team crossed the state line. Sporting is trying to get over to the Missouri side.
Arrowhead is probably the most historic stadium in the NFL outside of Lambeau Field. It's has the world sound record and also is a classic original. Furthermore, you're right that I can't really see NFL making a big impact downtown with only 9-10 home games a year if you're counting playoffs too.
My hot take has always been to build a Chiefs stadium on Penn Valley Park so we could actually get some use out of that park for once and it has the amount of land needed for a stadium and lots. But I surmise this will never happen. The Royals...are a different story
