Reports on the proposed stadium at Bannister Mall put the stadium size at 18,500. But according to documents submitted to the Kansas City Economic Development Council, the stadium size would be between 17,000 and 22,000 seats and could expand to 27,000 with temporary seating.
The cost of the stadium would be $140 million, with Wizards’ owners OnGoal kicking in $65 million. The other $75 million would be part of the $267 million of public money that is being sought for the project.
One player said OnGoal was working with different companies to come up with the best turf for the conditions. He added that a heated field may be in the works as well. That would certainly be a good thing if KC were to get the MLS Cup here. You never know what the weather is going to be like in November.
Best of all: No football lines on the field. Ever.

The ideas for the field all sound good, except for the turf part. Grass please.
agree, I don't want turf on the field, give me grass.
for the love...no turf!!!
Don't sweat it, it'll be grass. The word 'Turf' doesn't refer only to artificial surfaces.
I read "turf" in that context clearly as "grass". Why would you heat an artificial turf field? They get to 120 degrees on their own.
I wonder if the heated field is also long-term planning for a schedule shift by at some point.
Hopefully we can get MLS to start scheduling around FIFA dates!
