Revamped Arrowhead Stadium Shows off Jackson County's Foresight

Upgrade and renovate Arrowhead Stadium ready for its national television closely.

While local sports fans, the renovated facility can enjoy tonight, viewers will be across the country see it as good as the Chiefs play the San Diego Chargers, as part of ESPN's doubleheader Monday Night Football.

Jackson County residents are very proud of this moment. In 2006, they have a strong commitment to preserving major league sports in Kansas City, when they approved a three-eighths percent sales increase in the Truman Sports Complex to improve. Bistate voters have already rejected a similar tax in 2004 for stadiums, placing their fate in the hands of Jackson Countians. And they came through.

Tax District will cover $ 250000000 in public funds set aside more restrooms, new concession stands, wider concourses and other facilities for fans at Arrowhead to add. Chiefs have contributed $ 125,000,000 of new rooms and other features to add. This is $ 50,000,000 more than the team originally promised to spend, with all its promise to cover cost overruns.

Four years later, the campaign promises of 2006 were held. Jackson County Sports Complex Authority officials report that the makeovers of Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums on time and on budget.

And tonight, when New Arrowhead is in the national spotlight, Kansas Citians will once again realize the importance of big-league sports to keep alive and living in this city.
