Super Bowl in 2015?

NFL.com wire reports
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (March 5, 2006) -- The NFL announced 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. He announced the owners had voted to make Kansas City the site of the 2015 Super Bowl if the stadium is renovated.
Jackson County voters will vote on two propositions on April 4. A 3/8-cent sales tax would raise more than $500 million for renovations to Arrowhead and the Royals' Kauffman Stadium. A separate tax would raise about $200 million to build the rolling roof, which would be used for both stadiums.

I saw the plans for that sliding roof, pretty amazing. I'm all for the Super Bowl getting out of Florida and California for a change. I wouldn't mind foul weather super bowls myself.

What I want to know is how they had time to vote on this, but they as of yet have been unable to negotiate a deal with the players union, and really can't agree on the issue of revenue sharing among themselves. I think they need to set their priorities straight...

The voting on the rolling roof has nothing to do with the Collective Bargining agreement, it's the residents of Johnson County, Missouri; voting on a tax that would give the Chiefs the money.
Even though I'd love the SuperBowl in KC, I hope it fails. I want the Chiefs to move to Wyndote County across from the KS Speedway, and for the Royals to move to Downtown KC.

No, I realize that, but I thought the owners had to vote on where the Super Bowls were played...

I'm just against domes period. If you have them they should all be retractable and have to be open during games, If they have other events then close it.
