To accommodate Messimania coming to Kansas City, the match was moved from the club’s usual home of Children’s Mercy Park (capacity 18,467) to the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium (76,416), which will also host this summer’s Copa America group-stage match between the U.S. men’s national team and Uruguay on July 1. Sporting Kansas City played its home matches at Arrowhead from 1996-2008. The official attendance on Saturday night was 72,610, setting a new club record for Sporting KC and marking the highest ever attendance for a soccer match in Missouri.
