K.C. to host 2015 Super Bowl if renovations approved

The NFL announced Sunday that Kansas City would host the 2015 Super Bowl if voters approve a tax to renovate Arrowhead Stadium.

Commissioner Paul Tagliabue addressed a meeting of team officials and civic leaders by speakerphone from New York, where he was involved in negotiations on a contract extension with the players union.

Tagliabue announced late last year that Kansas City would get a Super Bowl if the renovations were made and if a rolling roof was built to make Arrowhead Stadium climate-controlled. On Sunday, he announced the owners had voted to make Kansas City the site of the 2015 Super Bowl if the stadium is renovated.

That's some pretty interesting stuff. That's pretty much the same reason that the Cardinals built a new stadium. Back when Sun Devil Stadium hosted the Super Bowl, the NFL stated that everything was great about having the Super Bowl there. The weather, the community, the activities, everything but the stadium. The stadium sucked. The state of Arizona took offense to this and has since built an $8 (how many 0's are in a zillion?).

Later.
