Just this past year in 2006, the voters voted on stadium rennovations for the Royals and Chiefs. A $575 million dollar proposal to completely rennovate each stadium; $250 million to the Royals, and $375 million to the Chiefs. There was also a second initiative on the ballot for a "rolling roof" that would roll between the two stadiums. This roof, when positioned over Arrowhead Stadium, would have the capability to also be sealed so events like a Super Bowl or Final Four could be played in Kansas City. If this measure passed, it would be paid for by area businesses through a "special use" tax.
Well, the voters approved the main package of rennovations, which also forced both teams to sign new 25 year leases with the county. However, the voters did not approve the rolling roof.
Now, if Carl Peterson would get his head out of his ass and overhaul this football team, I think that would make most Chiefs fans really happy because they would actually be committed to one particular direction for the team to go in. Enough of this patchwork they do every year that will "hopefully" get us a playoff berth. For years, that's all the Chiefs have had to do.... make the playoffs, please the Season Ticket Holders, and repeat. People in this town are sick of the fair weather attitude out at One Arrowhead Drive..... time for "King Carl" to do his job or get the heck outta KC.
