Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the best and most unique soccer stadiums in the country. Even with Sporting in last place, still a great atmosphere in the stadium which is appreciated by us visiting team fans. Buying a parking pass online for the blue lot was well worth it. I only wish it was located closer to downtown KC

We made a road trip to see the USWNT game, the game was great. The stadium was great, the seating was fabulous. It seemed like every seat had a great view of the field. Getting into the stadium was quick process with many stations. The stadium had several food options with typical crazy prices (eat before across the street). You can bring in an empty clear plastic water bottle to refill.
Only disappointment was the USWNT didn't stay after the game and sign posters or take pictures with the kids like we have experienced in other cities.

Awesome stadium. Easy in and easy out. Clean. Helpful staff. Very easy to get a drink quickly at one of the self serve areas. Didn't miss a second of the match, aside from having to let people in/out of my row about 25 times during the game. That was frustrating but that's on the fans not the stadium. General admission tickets were reasonably priced and we arrived early and got great seats. Next time we will likely upgrade our seats to an area where we hopefully won't have to let others in/out of the row so frequently. Overall had a great time.

My son and I decided to take a "sports" trip and came here all the way from southern Indiana to take in a Sporting KC game and kind of compare the game experience to other MLS stadiums we have been to. As we were not locals the location was quite convenient for us as far as getting to via interstate. We stayed at the closest motel, so it was a very easy walk. We liked the plaza for some pre-game activities. We loved all the concessions we tried. ALL employees/staff encountered were friendly and seemed generally concerned with welcoming all fans. The game experience was excellent as far as atmosphere. The fans near us were friendly and great ambassadors for Kansas City. Restrooms were clean.
A cool bonus was after we stayed for some post-game activities which were good as we walked back to our motel we met players stopping to take photos and sign autographs as they were leaving the stadium--it would have been easy for them to just get in their cars and drive away, but numerous players took the time. They were all very gracious after a tough game
Based on our experience we would rate this as the second best MLS stadium we have been to so far--still have more to get too--and we could see ourselves returning for a future game if in the area. We would definitely recommend a trip here for locals.

I recently attended a KC SPORTING match here. It was a very good soccer experience. The crowd was very into the game.
Food line were quite long as was the beer lines. Could use some type of app to speed things up.

It was a family event my last two granddaughters' graduation day. The temperature was a bit cool, but the hot beverages made it comfortable. The staff did an exceptional job, even short staffed. One lady staffer made sure a family member was safe, with a wheelchair available, and we enjoyed the entire event in comfort. Thanks for an amazing experience in Kansas City with family.

Brought 61 cadets from the Missouri Military Academy to watch SKC against Houston. Great game! Was the first professional soccer game for many of our students and its safe to say that SKC have some new fans! Big thank you to Roger in Ticket Operations for all the help!

Still one of the best soccer specific stadiums in the country. Not a bad seat in the house. Recently had the pleasure of seeing another match in the stadium when the US Men’s National Team played Canada in the Gold Cup

It has been a few years since traveled to KC for a soccer game. This was the Gold Cup game against Canada.
No review or comment on game.
Have been there previously for games and the stadium continues to be one of the best. There is NO, truly bad seat.
We deliberately arrived several hours early as we were meeting family fro several places.
The kids had fun....big reason for going.
One comment in particular was leaving the stadium continues to be an issue, but has improved. The traffic lights seemed to be better sequenced than our last time there. Previously they were not adjusted for a post game of several thousand fans.
With intersections being blocked with cars trying to squeeze thru, access onto the major highways having the lights set for daily traffic.
Don't buy team apparel here as grossly overpriced.
Attend a game there is a soccer fan at all!

The two previous games we attended were live action in person, and Sporting won both times. This time was a little different, but still enjoyable. As an affiliate of the MLS team, we were in town for an All-Star weekend and allowed to watch the team's season opener (which was actually in NY) in the stadium on the big screen. The drum team was not present (which would normally create a lot of enthusiasm in the fans) but it was still a fun time. It was actually kind of nice not having the big crowd this time. Kansas City is now 3-0 in the three games we have attended.

I see there are general admission tickets for sale. Do those tickets have assigned seats? If not, are we guaranteed to have seats? What time do you recommend arriving? I would be attend the game with 3 kids, ages 8 - 15.

The general admission seats are on the end. Arrive early to get some all together. You should get some good seats there. When you enter crossing the street from the race track parking lot. the end you want will be on your right.
