Orlando City visits Kansas City for the first Western Conference road trip of the season. And while Kansas Citians will still defend their smoked meats until they’re blue in the face, these days they have so much more to offer.
The Venue
Sporting Kansas City play inside Children’s Mercy Park, a soccer-specific stadium that has a seating capacity of 18,467 but can expand up to 25,000. The stadium has hosted a number of International matches, the MLS All-Star Game and CONCACAF.
The supporters of Sporting KC sit in both the North and South ends of the stadium, but when you have TEN supporter groups you need to find room to accommodate them.
