That said, soccer in the U.S. is growing exponentially. It's impossible for me, in Los Angeles, to go virtually anywhere without seeing or hearing soccer. I have old friends in JoCo that swear that Sporing KC and their stadium are second to none in terms of value, sight lines and fun.

Again, not my trip but its ludicrous to state that soccer is somehow invisible.

For sure...yea obviously I am all in on soccer but respect your opinion. It is not for everyone but its growth and trajectory are undeniable. It is cool to hear you say that being an LA guy. Even though the Galaxy probably haven't reached their potential and Chivas is the one MLS organization that straight up is not at all working.

SKC has (this is a common opinion not a homer take) the nicest soccer specific stadium in North America. Its just an incredible place.

Local ownership that cares...a team full of likeable players and everyone is obsessed with winning championships and making sure fans have a good time.

Sporting averages more fans per game than there are seats available. Crazy times.
