It’s “America’s Creative Crossroads”…
It lays a strong claim to be The Soccer Capital of America… now a finalist to host matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup…
In 2014, The Huffington Post named Kansas City “THE place to be” city in America. Yet the accolades keep coming…
Sporting Kansas City: Four championships in six years… 108 straight sellouts at World-class Children’s Mercy Park … and one of the top atmospheres in Major League Soccer …
But we will go beyond all that in our series entitled “Going to Kansas City: The Series” (#Go2KC). Sure, we will mention the “big” and “touristy” attractions. Yet our focus will be on the unique and top shelf places to see, enjoy, eat at, drink at, smile and laugh at, interact with, party with, human with, listen to, and to just “wow” at.
This ain’t your typical list of attractions. They are Unique. They are Top Shelf. They are Kansas City.
Each piece in the series will be themed and all will focus on a weekend trip involving attending a Sporting Kansas City match as the traditional MLS powerhouse has all weekend home matches (1 Friday. 9 Saturdays. 5 Sundays.) left on its MLS schedule. See Sporting KC’s Felipe Gutierrez, Ike Opara, Tim Melia, Graham Zusi, and Johnny Russell, and visits by stars such as Sebastian Giovinco, Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley, Diego Valeri, Carlos Vela, Giovani dos Santos, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Places rich in creativity, history, and experience… suggested by people who have experienced them, by Sporting Kansas City players, and by those from vast walks of life.
