Some renderings

It looks like Jerry World fucked the Vikings stadium and had a baby.  Which given KC being the midpoint between those cities on I-35 is kinda fitting.

haven't we all learned that end zone windows are a bad idea?

Any competent architect would know it can be done if the field runs north/south

1. I was hoping that the Chiefs would move back to Dallas so Dallas could get another Lombardi.

2. Mr. Hunt, when speaking about what the Chiefs are about, mentioned that they have always chased "Big Dreams":
Divisional Titles
Conference Championships
Lombardi Trophies

What he DID NOT say the Chiefs chased were:
Regular Season Stat Trophies
MVP Trophies

Do You see the Difference here Cowboy Fans ? ? ?

It's just the way of the world now. If you won't pay their ransom, someone else will. 

Be my guest. Football is a TV product, who cares where the teams are? Taxpayer dollars for something used 8 times for 3 hours per year is an awful use of land and money.

Who are you speaking at with this take? Cowboys fans don't give a single shit about regular season stats and as far as I can recall only Emmitt ever won league MVP. Jerry wins revenue and valuation every year which is another thing we don't give a shit about. We all fucking hate Jerry Jones. We all know he's not a serious owner or GM. I would trade him for Hunt or literally any other owner in the league.

Seems to be a bad sign that this is a town's google preview picture:

I recently watched a really good and interesting documentary on Gary. It was a very hot spot for a time. The true capital "Industry town". The swing from a city recognized for its intriguing development to the downfall is sad, interesting and well, very Murican'.

That's why it needs to be indoors so you can have Taylor Swift's residency. That alone would add about a trillion dollars to the local economy.

When I was in Iowa everyone seemed to be very loyal to the Chiefs instead of the Vikings, Bears, or Packers. Not sure why that was the case

Can confirm. Funny old lady working the Coffee Bar in Des Moines airport had a Chiefs logo neck tatt. She was a hoot.

I can agree with this. Football stadiums can be out in the middle of nowhere and would make no difference. As you said, they only play 8 home regular season games each year. Most on the weekend. Many times, people plan well in advance to go to the games, coming from all over. As opposed to MLB, which has 81 home games a year, many during the weekday evenings. NBA/NHL, 41 home games a year, also many during the week. Centrally located downtown stadiums are best for these sports. Easy access, usually public transportation to get to a game. 

Not sure why citizens care so much about billionaire owners trying to strong arm them into funding their new stadium toys, and they leverage the rest. They reap all the benefits, citizens actually pay with their own money to fund a good chunk of the price. What benefits do citizens get? I don't see any. It's a huge racket. I wish people would wise up and tell these owners to fuck off and stop funding their stadiums. Many times, a new one isn't even really needed.

These aren't anything, they were with the original "we're interested" presentation ks had a year or two ago. An architect hasn't even been chosen yet.

Well, Ft Wayne is much closer to Indianapolis and about the same distance to Detroit as Chicago.
This feels like Bears ownership pulling a flex to get the city to fund a new stadium, which is appropriate given the graft that is Chicago politics. I suggest the Bears organization look into kidnapping and/or hiring some drug mules.  

I mean, you “can’t” out-politic Chicago and Illinois. Good luck to them though.

A good site is on the SE side where the former steel mills were in the lakefront. Counterpoint, Chernobyl-light contamination.
