The bid for MLS expansion to St. Louis has backing from one of Kansas City’s biggest soccer figures.
Four days after the world saw Peter Vermes scare the living daylights out of rookie Colton Storm, the Sporting Kansas City manager joined The Border Patrol with Nate Bukaty and Steven St. John on Sports Radio 810 WHB.
Vermes discussed a variety of topics on Wednesday morning, including St. Louis’s vote against a soccer stadium that significantly hurts the city’s expansion hopes. The head coach was quick to point out, however, that Kansas City experienced a similar setback when the Bannister Mall stadium plan fell through in 2008, well before Children’s Mercy Park received the green light.
