Chiefs spending more than $10 million in updates to Arrowhead Stadium this offseason
Chiefs spending more than $10 million in updates to Arrowhead Stadium this offseason
BY PETE GRATHOFF JANUARY 29, 2019 10:14 AM, When the Chiefs next play at Arrowhead Stadium, things will look a little different at the building. The Chiefs announced Monday the team is making updates to Arrowhead that include a “modernization” of the Arrowvision scoreboard, a re-application of waterproofing measures to the entire upper deck and new seats in the upper deck. “It has been a decade since our last major renovation to Arrowhead Stadium was completed and we’ve been taking an extensive look at areas we can address as we move towards future seasons,” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said in a release on the team’s website. “We are excited about these projects and look forward to the work beginning in the coming days and weeks.” Jim Rowland, the executive director of the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority, said the cost of the updates will be more than $10 million. The Chiefs are paying for the work, Rowland said, but in the future can request to be reimbursed by the sports authority. The scoreboard on the west end zone will remain the same size and shape, the Chiefs said, but will have new LED panels that are expected to enhance the clarity. In the upper deck, the new seats also will have cup holders for the first time. Work on the stadium could begin next week, according to the Chiefs. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nf...225228300.html |

Any semblance of order there would help. For the playoff games it would have sped things up if they had a few security people out front yelling that Hot Hands packets set off the metal detector.

It would be nice if they had more trams to shuttle people from the outer reach lots up to the stadium. People with bad knees or hips or backs have a really hard time making that walk, especially in sub freezing weather. No reason why this couldn't be done. They charge $60 per car and $100 per RV to park out there.

I don't why they like the circle scoreboard so damn much. Just put big square ones in.

Two things: 1. Chiefs will not be on the hook for this. Just procedural. County will pay. 2. Parking receipts go to the County NOT the Chiefs. |
