Inside the intimate Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday, an MLS franchise once on the brink of relocation commemorated its 20th anniversary. It honored its most longstanding fans and paid homage to the inaugural season with retro warmup jerseys, videos and signs.
An evening to celebrate.
Well, everything except the result.
Sporting Kansas City lost its second straight home match, a 2-1 result to the visiting Colorado Rapids.
Sporting KC, 4-2-0, lost only twice inside its home stadium in all of 2015. It matched that number Wednesday in front of 19,168 fans, the 74th consecutive sellout.
