New Arrowhead?

A friend of a friend said he had to pay $20,000 for a PSL before he could buy seasons tickets for the Raiders.

I saw some on social media last night. "Wait. Are you telling me the KANSAS City Chiefs aren't already in KANSAS?" People are so ******* dumb.
I have friends that just moved to the KC area and their son has two tickets, lower bowl, and they told me that the PSL for two tickets by their son was going to be in the neighborhood of $20 grand, plus tickets each season and parking. So $10 grand per ticket.
 
Sports are just pricing me out of the market. I have a boat and a lake house. i would rather go to a swim up bar and watch games or head to the bar. Also, have a 65 inch TV so watching at home is easy also. The price for the new Chiefs tickets is going to be crazy. With parking, Concessions, tickets and all of that. Yeah not worth it to me. My last game was at Lambeau two or three years ago and i bought the worst team on the schedule (Lowest priced ticket) and each ticket was 220 a ticket. I was at $440 with my two tickets, plus 20 dollars parking (Not bad for parking at Target across the street from Lambeau).

We have an income that puts us well north of average. I can’t fathom people dropping money like that on games.

Got a 75” tv with a much better view. That and I hate crowds.
 
I would agree, but they want to go to evens with their son, they are empty nesters, and can afford to purchase the PSL.
How long does the PSL last? 10k for a lifetime isn't really that bad. My sister and BIL have had season tickets for the last 5 years and I think they are like 2500/per including parking passes. I assume PSL would give you first crack at any event that goes on there too.
 
The good thing about PSLs is that it can just keep going one level deeper, next is a PSLL, a personal seat license license, need that license to purchase the seat license to be able to purchase the seat.
 
That seems to make the most sense. Makes good use the existing parking.

The other location I've seen thrown around in the renderings is the NE corner of I70 and I435. (39°07'25.0"N 94°50'50.0"W) The parking would be an issue there and seems cut off from some of the other amenities that would be within walking distance closer to the Speedway.

The other thing I forget is they could just demolish basically anything with the amount of money they are spending.
The new stadium will be west of 435

I think they are for as long as you own the tickets. From what my friends son told me, he owns the rights to purchase the tickets and can even sell the tickets for a year and still retain his rights the next year. Quick AI search says that the right for purchasing tickets at the current stadium will end when they move to Kansas, then everything will be reset and new PSLs will be sold to bring in more money. It states that currently PSL are NOT being sold in KC, so maybe that is the work around to actually get control of the tickets. You can sell your rights to someone else.

So this doesn’t look like a great deal for Kansas. Great deal for the Chiefs and the politicians who supported it though

A state like Kansas takes a deal like that 100 out of 100 times. I don't think that most people understand how many cities/states would give up a lot more for an NFL team. This locks them into the state for 30 years. That's 30 years of relevancy in what's easily the biggest professional sport in the US.

Eck I dont know. This cost/benefit is way off. The more details that come out about this deal, the more I am glad Missouri isn't paying for it.

Good on them.

The taxpayers basically just spent 3 billion to have a sports team move across the same town, they will be spending millions in maintenance, and they’ll “own” a facility that will need billions more in renovations at the end of that 30 years. They will NEVER break even on this, not even close.

Congrats to the reaidents who voted this abomination down.

Luckily for Missouri, their backwards politics are ensuring that they won't have to pay for stuff like this for a long time. My guess is that Kansas is working on the Royals too and I would also guess that they will get them.
