An uncovered stadium, in Missouri, in January. Why even ask this?

Because he Meadowlands in NJ just got the deal for 2014. Since the NFL broke their own 50 degree rule, everything's an option.

Yes, but there's probably not enough highend hotel space to make a successful bid.

You don't need a pro football team to host a super bowl. Just a big stadium and crooked politicians.

I would prefer that the Chiefs be IN the Super Bowl, but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon!

On today's date in 1923, Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty says it is legal for women to wear trousers anywhere.

This is funny!! KC isn't big enough to handle the crowd.

AreUNorml 2 years, 11 months ago

how so? you underestimate the will of football fans. They will be booking hotel rooms as far away as Topeka.

I'd rather see Kansas City play IN the super bowl than host the super bowl...

If we borrow the Way-Back machine and return to 1970, we can see that.

Can I vote for bewbies?

If they did have the super bowl in KC that would be the closest that the Chiefs would come to being in one (you can not live off of the 1970 s-bowl forever).

I can't believe people pay all that money to see such a rancid team. I look at a dollar and know that at least it is good for four quarters unlike the Chiefs

Hey Andini, sorry you have to work today. Sure to the Super Bowl thing, but it woud be too cold. They should have covered it when they had the chance.

If Kansas City would build the rolling roof that Arrowhead and the K were designed to have they've been guaranteed a Super Bowl, an MLB All Star Game, and a NCAA Final Four. Unfortunately, the voters and leadership of KC are too short sighted to see that building the 200 million dollar roof has been guaranteed to bring these events to town, each of which would bring more than a billion dollars into the local economy. They're going to spend at least half a billion trying to fix I-70 through downtown (which is impossible) though.
