Re: F U Sporting
a damn shame...it's been a great venue for the game and fans (outside of the damn cold)
My initial thoughts would be Arrowhead picks up the game, although I don't like the idea of a large stadium looking 3/4 empty. Which also applies to my second thought would be the Dome in St. Louis, at least it removes the cold part of the equation. My other thought would be a smaller college stadium a bit further south, I was thinking Tulsa stadium. It'd still be in the MIAA footprint and probably 10 degrees warmer on average than the games in KC. Maybe Abilene-Christian can host and Adam Dorrel can have everybody bunk up at his house.

Re: F U Sporting
Arrowhead won't want it for the same reason they didn't want the MSHSAA championships. They don't want a game played on grass on Saturday before a game on Sunday. Granted that week the Cheifs play at home on a Thursday night but still, why would they want a game that will have 4,000 people (or 12,000 if it's an MIAA team) in their 80,000 seat stadium?

Originally posted by IowaBearcat View PostThat's how I read it. Just asking for a 2018 host. Hard to want to take on a single year this late. But might be an opportunity for a Pittsburg, KS, who already had a bid, to show they could take it on in 2023?
I think the NCAA has been happy with Pittsburg's hosting of the Indoor Track and Field championships, but obviously, this is a different ballgame.

Re: F U Sporting
I think the bottom line is that Sporting didn't want to mess with it and it wasn't worth it for them. And although it was the KC Sports Commission who pushed for this to start with, they probably won't care because now they've got bigger fish to fry with the World Cup bid.
