    The fact that the new stadium won’t be a dome

    Is absolutely ridiculous.

    There is no home field advantage for a team that passes the majority of the time.

    Football should be played in the elements.

        I had forgotten that Jackson County (MO) taxpayers had passed the funding referendum on putting a rolling dome on top of Arrowhead. . . . Oh wait, they didn't. Well, fortunately for them Mahomes doesn't pass that much. Yeah, stupid Queefs, they'll never win a Superbowl with no dome.
        Insert whimsical line here

          No dome and at the current location. Pick one or the other, not BOTH.

            The weather in KC is nowhere near what it is in Orchard Park.

                I was curious so I looked up some averages:

                KC under 30” of snow/year
                Chicago under 40”
                Green Bay under 50”
                Buffalo…OVER 80” hahah

                this alone is why they needed a dome…doesn’t even include the heavy winds and sideways rain which wreak havoc on everything much less a finesse offense like ours (and a QB that historically performs very poorly in such conditions)

                  what difference does location make? Are domes banned in OP? What an idiotic comment

                    So I checked rain and wind yearly averages:

                    KC rain 42 inches wind 12.30 mph
                    BUF rain 39 inches wind 14.68 mph
                    CHI rain 39 inches wind 9.9 mph
                    FB. rain 29.52 inches wind 15.8 mph

                      I think he meant the fans got screwed twice. No dome AND stuck with the same middling location. He’s saying it would have been nice to get at least one of those two outcomes. Dome at OP or as a consolation prize open air (downtown).

                        I didn’t check but I would guess those rainfall totals mostly were not in winter

                            I get it , the snow only affects one of two game a year. Wind and rain have much more affect on games, especially the wind.

                              Look even if they were going to build a dome it wouldn’t help this team for the 4 years. So the bigger issue and an issue now is what do they need to do. Well how about this, the Bills ran the ball 14 with their RB’s, Josh had 10 rushes and they still had over 100 yards! That’s the problem, they need to run the ball more. Wind/rain/snow affects the passing game, I’m not sure what part of this Dorsey doesn’t understand about that!
