Sporting Kansas City History
Sporting Kansas City has the honor of being one of the original franchises of Major League Soccer, first kicking off in 1996 as the Kansas City Wiz. A year later, the name changed to the Kansas City Wizards, which remained in use until the end of the 2010 season.
The Wiz/Wizards/Sporting KC were founded by Lamar Hunt, who owned the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL. Hunt also helped to create Major League Soccer, the American Football League, and the United Soccer Association of the '60s, and his Hunt Sports Group owned the Wizards until shortly before he died in 2006.
Kansas City's MLS franchise has been home to some of the greatest names in American and international soccer, including Alexi Lalas, Tony Meola, Preki and Matt Besler. They have had a sustained period of achievement under former Wizards player and 2000 MLS Defender of the Year Peter Vermes, who has coached the team since 2009.
Sporting KC have claimed the MLS Cup in 2000 and 2013, a Supporters’ Shield in 2000 and four U.S. Open Cup titles (2004, 2012, 2015, and 2017). In 2023, Kansas City reached the Conference Semifinals of the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Great evening
by Fisherman Dan on 4/16/24GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium - Kansas CityTicket master delivered! Every part of the experience was super easy. Tickets were sent almost immediately and super easy to download to my wallet. They offered parking passes which I hadn’t even thought of. The tickets were exactly where we had ordered them from. I will always use Ticketmaster from now on and never some subpar ticket place like stub hub.

by Cdd on 4/16/24GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium - Kansas CityAll vendors and workers were kind. Once in a lifetime experience for grandsons seeing Messi. Prices of food and drink way too high but still worth it!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Sporting KC/Inter Miami
by Emily on 4/16/24GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium - Kansas CityHad a great time at the game this past Saturday night. The Stadium was electric with all the Messi fans in the house. My only criticism is that parking and traffic flow is a nightmare even when purchasing a parking pass close to the stadium. We had no trouble finding a parking spot, but it took 35 minutes to get into the parking lot. Upon leaving there was no manning of the traffic happening and between people weaving through moving cars and congestion in the pedestrian tunnel to outer parking lot I’m surprised no one was injured.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great Preview of Large Venue Soccer
by JB on 4/16/24GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium - Kansas CityThe energy was contagious. Great atmosphere. Both teams played well and if not for a couple giveaways the score could have gone SKC’s way. Bravo!!!
Rating: 5 out of 5 What a fantastic game.
by Mc on 4/16/24GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium - Kansas CityWhat a fantastic game. MLS NEEDS TO take advantage of the Messi power to up the game.
Rating: 5 out of 5 We had fun
by Vonnie on 4/16/24GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium - Kansas CityWe enjoyed the game and had great seats. I expected it to be crowded but the parking situation is still utter chaos and they need to work on that aspect but I believe that’s the stadiums headache. My tickets were easy to get and I was kept informed the whole time about everything so that was a plus all in all we really enjoyed ourselves. It was super fun. And a great experience for my son, which is what it was really all about for me.
