The Kansas City Blue Crew put into words what we all were thinking, at least for those who supported/covered FC Kansas City from 2013-2017.
A final thought for the day. Tonight meant something. Maybe 10k doesn't sound like a lot to everyone, but it sure does mean something to us. We were there during the FCKC days. We remember a televised game the last season where we couldn't pull 1k. The team folded soon after

In a league where teams like Angel City FC and Portland Thorns FC regularly fill their stadiums, for the KC Current to set an attendance record in Kansas City for an NWSL game of 10,395 last night, the milestone was incredibly significant, giving hope and excitement for the future of the NWSL in KC, especially as it prepares to open its NWSL-specific stadium at the Berkley Riverfront Park in 2024.
