Kansas City, Mo. ? Could a Super Bowl be in the future for Kansas City? Not the team – the town?

The Kansas City Chiefs made a presentation to NFL owners Tuesday that included plans for a rolling roof on their 33-year-old facility that would meet the league’s demands for weather-protected stadiums in non-Sun Belt cities.

Houston Texans owner Bob McNair was impressed with the presentation.

“I think it’s an exciting proposal,” he said. “I think it is very innovative and certainly would give the Chiefs a lot of facility with their venue.”

The possibility of a Super Bowl might be a good carrot to dangle in front of voters who will be asked to approve hundreds of millions in improvements to both Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadium, home of baseball’s Royals.

The Chiefs already have said they wanted about $300 million worth of renovation for Arrowhead. Clark Hunt, the chairman of the board, said the roof would add “between $100 million and $200 million” to the bill.

Hunt said there was no guarantee of a Super Bowl for Kansas City.

“We’ve tabled for quite some time our request for a Super Bowl, so we’ll have to see where it goes,” he said. “If you look at the way things have played out in other communities who have made commitments to new stadiums, particularly weather-protected stadiums, they’ve had an opportunity to come back to the membership and request a Super Bowl.”

The rolling roof, which would service both adjoining stadiums, first was discussed when the Truman Sports Complex was built in the early 1970s.

“The rolling roof is part of the discussions with (Jackson County). The rolling roof has the capability to slide over either stadium,” Hunt said. “The Royals have been less committal about their interest in the roof to this point, but we think the rolling roof could be a tremendous asset to Kansas City, regardless of its use for baseball.

“It could tremendously augment what happens at Arrowhead Stadium and maybe create some other entertainment options at the sports complex when it’s rolled off the stadium.”

NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue said Lamar Hunt, Chiefs founder, made “an excellent presentation” to his peers.
