About Sporting KC

Sporting Kansas City is currently celebrating the organization's 16th year in Major League Soccer riding a wave of development on and off the field. The organization opened its new $200+ million dollar, world-class soccer-specific stadium in June.  Along with the new stadium, the team took on a new name. In November 2010, the Kansas City Wizards became known as Sporting Kansas City, reflecting the club's desire to become a dynamic organization focused on creating opportunities for social, cultural and athletic connections.

About LIVESTRONG Sporting Park
