1st Sporting KC Game on Saturday
 

so, my wife was given free tickets and a parking pass by her boss earlier this week for the Sporting KC game on Saturday.

I'm a soccer novice, to say the least. Same goes for the wife. My acumen of the game consists of putting the ball in the goal. What should someone who has probably never watched an entire game of soccer in his life, let alone live, look for when watching the game?

also, what section are the Anti Freeze Slurpies served in?

Where are your seats located? Based on location in the stadium there are certainly different "experiences" to be had, not unlike tailgating at Arrowhead with the buddies compared to sharing a cocktail with Bif and his friends in the Arrowhead Lounge. If you are open to getting sucked into the festivities, arrive as early as possible and find the Cauldron Bus. Tell them you are a "soccer virgin" and enjoy yourself. (Hopefully you like free Boulevard Beverages!)

section 110; row 10 I believe.

You'll be close enough to the field to see the birds nesting in Beckerman's hair.

i think you will be pleasantly surprised on how good soccer is live. Especially MLS, the defense is so poor compared to EPL, makes the game much for fun to watch. Also helps that Sporting is one of the better teams in the league.

cool. looking forward to it even though I know nothing about it in terms of strategy etc.

if we win, I'm going to rush the field and punch someone on the other team in the face while yelling "Sporting mother ****er"

Make sure you wear a cow costume as you enter the stadium.

wasn't that a chicago fan that did that? I actually was present to witness it! lol

never seen a soccer game in person at any level.

it was KICK ASS. that stadium was awesome. the atmosphere was kick ass. I will definitely be going again in the future.

we were in section 101, which is just off to the side of the Cauldron (I think that's what it was called); only 10 rows up. Incredible stadium

I LOVED the fact that we weren't bombarded with advertisements, and PA announcers pimping commercials. The game never stopped; just constant action on the field. VERY refreshing experience. In some ways, blasphemy I know, I liked it better than Arrowhead. Smaller venue; excellent views etc. I was completely blown away.

Glad you enjoyed! The hate the game of soccer gets is unfortunate. Soccer is a very enjoyable sport to watch, especially live.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can't wait to get back to Sporting Park sometime.

Did you get to invade the pitch?

queue?

I haven't went to a sporting game but last year I went to the royals, arrowhead, and a mavericks game.

Arrowhead was the shittiest experience unfortunately. Royals second and the mavericks game was the best

agree. I really enjoyed the Mavericks. I keep meaning to get back to a game, but always seem to get caught up in stuff etc.
