Ford Field blew me away with how a football venue can be built to have state of the art facilities from the bathrooms to the concessions, to the the sightlines, be indoors, be as large as the stadium is, and still not have the game experience ruined by a stadium that is as large and not open-air as Ford Field is. Basically, I was impressed by the gameday experience, even though the Skins-Lions game I went to was in Detroit's 0-16 year.

Arrowhead, by comparison, is a really impressive football atmosphere, but for a football-only stadium, really was kind of a pain. There are "good" kinds of old, and Arrowhead wasn't of that kind. I know they did a really expensive renovation on it recently, but I have a hard team believing the stadium improved in any meaningful way.

(Kauffman Stadium (KC Royals) -- on the other hand -- is a beautiful venue, albiet preposterously limited in # of seats for an MLB park. I suppose though if you're the Royals, that doesn't much matter.)

Thanks.

The only time I was at a game in Arrowhead was in '74 or '75. My recollection was that it was a wonderful venue for that time - - much nicer than RFK or The Vet or Three Rivers or the bandbox the Pats played in back then (cannot even remember its name).

That was almost 40 years ago and certainly stadiums and amenities have advanced since then. I'll just prefer to remember Arrowhead for what it was.

Oh, and I used to love to go to see the Royals when I had to be in KC on business... Haven't been to Kauffman Stadium since about 1990.
