Clark gets to go twice a year to those multi-billion-dollar, state of the art stadiums in Vegas and LA and compare it to his own stadium that last had an upgrade 15 years ago. Now that his team has won three of the last five Super Bowls, he's probably rightfully thinking that his team should play in a multibillion-dollar stadium, especially when he has THE player in the NFL on his roster. Does that make them chickenshit for going to the county voters with an awful Royals proposal that they most likely deduced would lose just to leverage Kansas to get what they want (again, allegedly)? I guess we'll know for sure in the coming months. |

But there are plenty of somewhat wealthy typically older fans that can't afford a box but would pay for tickets if it's indoors but otherwise they will watch at home. Sure you can still sell out games, but you could sell out games for more money if you could reach more fans that would compete for tickets. But I'm probably not going to make it either way. So I'll happily watch the real fans in the September heat and December cold on TV.

I just haven't heard any upgrades that people actually want. I really don't know what it costs to maintain a facility like Arrowhead, which is like 50 years old, for another 25 years. $800M being available for shit to be rebuilt, have minor upgrades, maybe fix the locker rooms, etc. Doesn't sound that bad to me. Can only imagine what inflation will be over the next 20 years.

If you have a retractable roof, you don't play in the elements when the elements are bad.

A new stadium also means that many longtime STH can kiss their tickets goodbye as they won’t be able to afford the PSL and massive price hike that Clark will implement.
Just look at what’s going on in Buffalo. Tons of people who have been STH since the early days of the franchise are being priced out of their seats and have to give up their tickets. There is nothing about a new stadium that will be good for the common fan like us. We’ll all be priced out for the most part and the Arrowhead atmosphere will be a distant memory. It sure will be nice for the rich folks who want to be seen and Clark’s wallet though. This all sucks. |

And higher ticket prices means even fewer die hard fans and more of the casual, there so can say they were there fans. I’ve seen that change taking place at Arrowhead over the past however many years. You have people show up who are spending way too much time on their phones and yelling when we are on offense. I’ll continue to argue for the old ways but, I know it’s a losing battle; change is coming, to both KC franchises.

If I was a Jackson County resident I think I would've leant towards voting Yes just with the hope that the team won't leave the county. In my opinion the Chiefs had the leverage from the beginning (not just since the No result) given they're in the middle of a dynasty. Being a fan from abroad though I'm not too concerned as long as they stay in the region and retain the name and branding. Would be sad to see the team leave Arrowhead but it'll happen eventually. |

Some quick googling USA today says the Chiefs have the second highest average ticket price at 578 dollars. . business insider has them 7th in season ticket prices. Take that for what you will if it's reasonable or not. |

Yes, but they have no Personal Seat License. The PSL's in the league range between 15k and 50k a seat. Figure than into your pricing.
