Vote in this poll if you actually live in Jackson county.
We've all shared our opinions in the other thread. But who gives a shit what somebody in Platte County or Johnson County or Phoenix or NYC thinks. We're all just noise. [Reply]

cool, I would have never driven to where Arrowhead is located in my LIFE if it wasn't there. Talk about a shithole. If a retractable roof in Kansas ALSO has the added benefit of Raytown Rednecks swearing off attending count that as a bonus in my book. You can watch the Super Bowl on a free antenna so you don't have to set foot in Kansas. [Reply]

Any new stadium design is going to suck though, compared to what we currently have at Arrowhead. Regulations won't allow them to build the same kind of steep bowl that Arrowhead was originally built with. The replacement would be wider and flatter, with longer views of the field and much worse acoustics. [Reply]
thats right. smokes and methed out hookers. money well spent over a team thats holding hostage the county that has supported them for 50 years and threatens to sell out to uppity terrorist birds. GFY John Brown [Reply]
It would be louder with a roof. People are just holding on to something old and outdated because of nostalgia alone.
lmao uppity terrorist birds.
I mean you realize for an outsider how hilarious it sounds to rebel against the elitists who live in...KANSAS? Look I lived 30 years there and I love it but like if you're worried about people across the state line take a hard look at why you are holding a grudge. Adults got over that. [Reply]

Given the number of people/families I've known who left the Raytown area in the 90s around the same time my parents also said fuck this, I'm surprised it doesn't resemble a Detroit suburb by now, tbh. [Reply]

There's a time and a place to raze a community to the ground. That time and place for Raytown and large, large swaths of Independence was 25 years ago. [Reply]
The about of unreasonable hate that some on this Board towards the State of Kansas is both mystifying and comical at the same time. As a Kansan my preference would be a renovated Arrowhead because it would likely be cheaper and the place is special to many of us Chiefs fans. However, as long as the team stays in the metro, do we REALLY care THAT much what side of the state line the stadium sets? [Reply]

My grandma lived in Raytown so I'm familiar with it. Just so we're clear I'm not trashing it without reason [Reply]
