Sounds like making a slightly improved version of a stadium that so far has gone really well is a better option than trying to reinvent the stadium design process.

OK, great. Where’s the money for it?

It depends how much they need and if they get any government help.

But, I've never seen an NFL team ever say "We would have built a new stadium but we're poor so oh well".

I don’t know if there is a more alarming answer than that one to the question of “Hey, how are you gonna pay for all this?”, especially for a lender.

The problem is when you do an original design like in Minnesota you run into the fact that it needs $280 million over the next 10 years in repairs to continue to be usable.

it's time you all are hauled out to the public square and shot in the face

what bank wouldn't give them a loan

Allegiant Stadium is awesome though. What stadium would you base it off of?

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

We are about to be into year four of this saga and the answer remains “all of them”.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

It doesn't have a roof which is kind of important in a place that is cold and snowy 5 months of the year.

Not that important to the people who live in Green Bay, Buffalo, Denver, Boston, New York, Philly, Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

Thanks for informing me not all NFL stadiums are domes.

Isn’t Kansas City the coldest? Chicago, Green Bay, Cleveland and Buffalo all have the lake effect warming. Denver has its unrelenting sun. KC is just brutal.

That game in Kansas City last year was awful, but on average I would guess that Green Bay and Buffalo are still quite a bit colder.

I can't understand how any Bears fan could want the team to play in an indoor environment at home. Plastic grass, plastic glass, this whole simulacrum to make you feel as if you're almost outside watching a game people would traditionally play outside, but not outside. There's such a sadness about it, this team that's supposed to be at the heart of the league, playing at a multipurpose conference center upon which a carpet is occasionally rolled out for football games. It's bad enough the Saints play in a cave and they're a tier below the Bears in terms of cachet.

Huh?? Kansas City is about 10 degrees warmer than Green Bay every month of the year.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Because the moment you watch a football game in a dome you wonder why you want to ever watch football in 25 degree weather again.

I get the impression here that the Bears had somewhat delusional aspirations for both the grand scale of the project and the extent that public money would be coming out to support them. At some point you just buy what you can afford, even if it’s not what you wanted.

"This is the good life," I say, as I kick up my feet and watch the St. Louis Rams go 4-12 in some sort of tomb.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

I don't base my opinions based on things that St. Louis didn't do well. If I did, I'd never eat pizza.

Yes, we get it, you’re a big Nelly fan.

Chicago, Green Bay, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Boston are all colder than KC.

The Browns are officially moving to a dome in the suburbs. Though to be fair it doesn’t look like Cleveland will go down without a fight.

We can't build housing but we can build football stadiums that replace 25-year-old football stadiums.

Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have confirmed they are indeed focusing on a new domed stadium in suburban Brook Park, releasing a statement yesterday saying, “The transformative economic opportunities created by a dome far outweigh what a renovated stadium could produce with around 10 events per year.” The statement also said that “this stadium will not use existing taxpayer-funded streams that would divert resources from other more pressing needs,” which neatly obscures the fact that it would use $1.2 billion in new taxpayer-funded streams that would divert resources from other more pressing needs. And headlines like “It’s official: Cleveland Browns moving to Brook Park” remain premature, since nobody in state or local government has approved the $1.2 billion in tax money yet, so really we’re still just at “Browns owners’ #1 choice is someone giving them $1.2 billion,” and who wouldn’t want $1.2 billion? I bet you could roll around in it real nice.
