You're right. The Rangers completely misled the Arlington taxpayers and threatened to leave town. Itwas a farce. But still, the people voted for the new stadium. Should've done their due diligence.

**** the chiefs - they deserve this. Vile organization

Is that right? I really don't know much about them. I've always had the impression they were good people.

I was in Arlington for an event a month or so ago, walked around those 2 baseball stadiums for the 1st time.

If you were a non baseball fan and were dropped off there and was told to "meet inside the new stadium ", you would probably be 50/50 on walking in the right stadium. It's crazy.

You're right. Probably greater than 50% would pic the old ballpark. Aesthetically it is far superior. I have a litany of issues with the new place. But I won't bore y'all.

Count me in as someone who hates all of the enclosed stadiums popping up around the country. I live in Dallas and used to go to all the Cowboys games when they were in Irving. No longer attend any as the environment is horrible (not to mention drive to Arlington). Football is meant to be played outdoors, and part of the fun is braving the weather with your friends/family. Texas Stadium had some dome, but with the roof constantly open you got to feel the weather.

They all want the ability to use the facility year round for concerts/events, which makes sense, but we don't have to be happy about it.

They will leave the roof closed (Cowboys and Rangers) with perfect weather outside.

Yep, the Texans and Astros did not open their roof once in the past year.

Wow. Years ago, the Astros would open the roof around the 7th inning once things had cooled off, which was great. I guess an unfortunate rules change prevents this now.

Man, I guess I really don't get this. There's a ton of fans of teams in different states. They're the KC chiefs…not the KC Missouri chiefs. Again the giants and jets play in the meadowlands, and the only gripe I hear is "how far out of the city it is"

And the 49ers stadium is like 40 miles away from San Francisco. At least the Chiefs stadium is in the same city.
