BRAVO!!!

I'm fine with either way -- I actually wouldn’t hate to lose some of these random schools from the pool of players. But I don’t care that much.

Chiefs unveil renderings of planned $3B domed stadium in Kansas​

The Chiefs unveiled Wednesday the first renderings for their new stadium in Kansas that is scheduled to open for the NFL's 2031 season.

One of the biggest aspects of the design from MANICA, an architecture firm in Kansas City, Kansas, is that the $3 billion, fully enclosed dome will feature a ceiling of translucent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene panels. The new stadium's design also pays homage to Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs' longtime home venue in Missouri, which opened in 1972. Similar to Arrowhead, the dome will be built with a symmetrical and curved exterior, including a scalloped upper deck in each end zone, continuing the Chiefs' unique look when compared with other NFL stadiums.

In a statement released by the Chiefs, club owner Clark Hunt said the stadium will hold 70,000 seats and will be built with the intention of amplifying crowd noise, a request that he heard from several season-ticket members in multiple surveys. In 2014, Arrowhead regained the Guinness world record for loudest stadium -- after fans for the Seattle Seahawks broke the record -- with the fans' collective voices generating 142.2 decibels.



"From the beginning, our goal has been to build something that [improves] the gameday experience for every single fan," Hunt said in the statement. "This new stadium will do just that. It's spectacular. It honors the rich legacy of this franchise while setting a bold course for the future of Chiefs Kingdom."

In late December, Kansas lawmakers voted unanimously to allow for sales tax and revenue (STAR) bonds to be issued to cover up to 70% of the cost of the stadium and the accompanying mixed-use district, including the Chiefs' new training facility. Hunt said he and his family will commit $1 billion in additional development, a portion that will be incentivized by the STAR bonds.

In the team's statement, Hunt said the new stadium will still be an ideal place for Chiefs fans to tailgate, which has been a distinct aesthetic surrounding Arrowhead. The atmosphere hours before kickoff -- with tantalizing smells of barbecue -- is similar to that of a major college football campus. The new stadium will be surrounded by more than 20,000 parking spots.

"I've been thrilled with what I've seen," Hunt said in late March of the dome's potential. "It's very, very exciting. Our fanbase is going to get an incredible stadium, something that'll be iconic and serve the community well for a minimum of 30 years -- and hopefully closer to 60."

This was a silent portal entry as there was nothing about it until he committed

I guess I'm not surprised considering he came from the SEC to being with.


The offensive is probably going to be the main issue in 2027, having to replace Kaczmar, Eckelman, Simpson, Ellis and Frucht is a lot. Thankfully Harvey and Bemis are back so the returning cupboard isn't completely empty. Scholvin got drafted in the 15th round by the Twins, fingers crossed he doesn't sign as he would be a big piece.

That being said, basically every major pitcher from last year is back so the pitching should continue on the positive track.

I'm guessing they will still add a couple of more transfers, no new announcements though yet.

Remember (Roger Bannister?) breaking the 'impossible to break' 4 minute mile. Every channel (only 3 in those days) carried it. Most pundits said it was a record gonna last forever, as no human could go that fast. Just shows to go ya.

Oil aside, LA is best (only?) fishing waters for redfish (or so have been told). thats enough to buy a WR or so.

How bad is it that I never even realized there were ads?

Nah, Argentina was trying to generate offense until the red card. Spain’s defense was just too good.

Met Beau’s dad at an event. Good guy and built like a house. His dad said Coach LJ pulled him aside after the spring game and said he has a big role planned for Beau this year. Rooting for him to take the next step.

Sources: FSU, Clemson expected to reach settlement with ACC​

Florida State and Clemson will vote Tuesday on an agreement that would ultimately result in the settlement of four ongoing lawsuits between the schools and the ACC and a new revenue-distribution strategy that would solidify the conference's membership for the near future, sources told ESPN on Monday.

The ACC board of directors is scheduled to hold a call Tuesday to go over the settlement terms. In addition, Florida State and Clemson have both called board meetings to present the terms at noon ET Tuesday. All three boards must agree to the settlement for it to move forward, but sources throughout the league expect a deal to be reached.

According to sources, the settlement includes two key objectives: establishing a new revenue-distribution model based on viewership and a change in the financial penalties for exiting the league's grant of rights before its conclusion in June 2036.

This new revenue-distribution model -- or "brand initiative" -- is based on a five-year rolling average of TV ratings, though some logistics of this formula remain tricky, including how to properly average games on the unrated ACC Network or other subscription channels. The brand initiative will be funded through a split in the league's TV revenue, with 40% distributed evenly among the 14 longstanding members and 60% going toward the brand initiative and distributed based on TV ratings.

Top earners are expected to net an additional $15 million or more, according to sources, while some schools will see a net reduction in annual payout of up to about $7 million annually, an acceptable loss, according to several administrators at schools likely to be impacted, in exchange for some near-term stability.

Just sayin': Besides getting a new revenue distribution model based on viewership and a change in financial penalties for exiting after 2023; both (i.e. Clemson and Free Shoes) undoubtedly came to the realization that no other conference wanted them.

In which case, why wouldn’t Duke and UNC demand the same from basketball revenue?

A picture I took in York back in 2006. My wife had a convention in Birmingham and she thought it would be fun to rent a car and explore England. I had never driven on the left side of the road and GPS didn't really exist but I somehow managed. That's not to say that there wasn't a few harrowing moments of me getting lost in Birmingham, looking the wrong way before pulling out onto the street or going north when I should have went south. It was a great experience. It was one of those things that if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger.
