Sporting Kansas City celebrated its U.S. Open Cup championship with a party on Friday inside the Power & Light District.
As the team walked onto the KC Live! stage, players Seth Sinovic and Roger Espinoza emerged with the trophy and placed it on a table next to three others. No MLS club has won more Open Cup championships than Sporting KC’s four.
Sporting KC defeated the New York Red Bulls 2-1 on Wednedsay to win No. 4.
Team president Jake Reid was the first to address the crowd on Friday, revealing that the newest paint on the Children’s Mercy Park north wall — symbolizing the title — will be orange in honor of late owner Neal Patterson, who died in July.
