Sporting KC [Official]: The World Cup is coming to KC in 2026

I think FIFA had to go with Kansas City because we were the only city in the running that would have a lot of people really feeling low for being turned down.

Have to give the KC Sports Commission and their World Cup bid committee credit for giving an accurate picture of how much Kansas City loves being included if we say we want to be in the show.

I don't think any of the cities left out have as many people really super bummed out as there would have been here.

I think most of the removed seats will be on the opposing team side because of the stairs to the locker room on the Chiefs side might be much more complicated to move.

Chiefs might put some rebuildable field level luxury lounge there in the extra space when it is a Chiefs game and not a soccer match.
