Well I’ve done it. I have ventured back into the realm of attending live sporting events. Earlier this month Sporting Kansas City announced that they would be welcoming 14% of the capacity of Children’s Mercy Park back to the stadium for the team’s upcoming matches. The first of those matches took place Tuesday night in front of 2,300 socially distanced fans according to the team.
The decision to allow fans into the stadium was a bit of a controversial one and rightfully so as Kansas cases of COVID-19 continue to rise and Wyandotte County (home of Children’s Mercy Park) recently announced that youth sports were not going to be allowed to take place for the Fall season.
