I'm hoping that somehow I'll be able to score tickets to the games at Children's Mercy. Think it would be a really cool atmosphere. With a capacity of only 18k and season ticket holders getting first dibs, I'm guessing I'll have to try to score something on the secondary market.

Definitely going to be a tough ticket. That stadium is amazing. My brother is close friends with Brian Illig, was actually in his wedding. The Illig's not only own Sporting KC and that stadium but they are one of KU's biggest boosters. They donated a ton for the remodel of KU's stadium. They want it to be multi purpose so that when the World Cup Soccer is in the USA they can have games there. Children's Mercy isn't big enough for World Cup games unless it is 2 small countries nobody cares about. Big games will be at Arrowhead and then games a notch below will be at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence.

He gave us a private tour of the behind the scenes stuff of the stadium before one of the games. Quite impressive. I'm guessing my brother will be able to go to games there but doubt I have that same privilege. Would love to see a football game there.

Nice! I spent a fair amount of the holiday season watching the three cameras that they had set up as they demolished 3/4's of the stadium. It was insane how quickly they could do that and get everything hauled away.

I've never been to a Sporting KC game. It's on my bucket list. I've heard that they're really fun.

Ketchup sandwiches and coors light is quite the diet for a professional athlete.

@Jim14510 Figured that much. I grew up seining the Elkhorn River, creeks and lakes around West Point. Grandpa was huge into fishing so we'd go out to get bait. Amazing the different fish and critters we would catch. There was a field that had a big ole mud puddle in the middle of it for the cows to drink from that wasn't more than 2 feet deep but just crawling with Crawdads. We'd pull out hundreds of Crawdads from it. We seined a wide variety of fish including Northern Pike & Bass out of the Elkhorn River plus the occasional Turtle, Mud Puppy or Snake.

Yeah there's some cool little fish. Different sunfish, darters, etc

great to see Cockeye fans are still so realistic

🤦‍♂️ Funny that they are so confident in the Nebraska game considering most of the games in the last 10 year on their side were won on last second field goals. Plus we've sucked during that time period.
