Unsurprisingly, all this seems to be tied to Hunt trying to squeeze the city of Kansas City for massive renovations to Arrowhead Stadium or, failing that, building a new stadium, largely because it turns out, building a stadium in the middle of nowhere and putting massive parking lots around it leads to nobody wanting to build anything around it supporting those massive parking lots in the middle of nowhere.
Who knew rich billionaires were so complex?
70K fans so going to need around 15-18K of parking spots. People tailgate so it's a big deal to have space for them if you are building outside downtown. This isn't just at the outskirts downtown. And really, nothing occurs outside of gameday that would make anyone want to open up something near it..
Hunt family are worth nearly $25 billion. Not all of them are involved with the Chiefs, but clearly the family has money. And the Chiefs are worth $6 billion. They should be able to fund what they need.
I do wonder if the other PA's copy what the NFLPA has done with these surveys.
Travel - only 8-9 times for a regular season in the NFL. They have bigger guys plus only so much hotel space to accommodate the 100 odd people from the team for the 1 or 2 nights unless they use separate hotels to give everyone their own room. NHL expect chartered flights and some guys share rooms.
Locker rooms at stadium would be the same concerns. Family, given the volume of games, probably not as big a deal since the games begin at 7pm and you are not bringing kids to that late a start.
Practice facilities would cover the other items.
Weight room more important for the NFL. But, similar concerns by all other pro teams for the other stuff.
Owner, how much do they finance all of the other stuff.
