Or You Could Do That

The Arizona Cardinals finally have their own stadium… the first one in 108 years.

The new Cardinals Stadium is a $465 million spectacle of design and architecture. It's grass field rolls outside and back inside again - that's about 60,000 sq. ft. (or 1.3 acres) on a sliding tray! Future college championships and Superbowls will be played there in coming years and, believe it or not, the Cardinals have actually sold out all eight home games this year to fans who'll be watching in airconditioned comfort!

Meanwhile in Kansas City, we're renovating our 35 year stadiums for a cool $850 million. No cool dome, no sliding turf, no modern, innovative design, no infrastructure to support a Superbowl. Ugh.

At least we're getting the Sprint Center for basketball and hockey.

How could you forget?!?! The Sprint Center will also be home for the KC Brigade!
