With SportingKC starting their home season tomorrow, what better way to kick off the season than with a little look back to seasons past. I’ve been fortunate to have covered SportingKC before it was SportingKC. Over the past 10 years, yes, now I feel old, I’ve had a seat on the sidelines when the Kansas City Wizards played at Arrowhead in the bowl, the horrible setup at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, and now as SportingKC plays at their incredible stadium Children’s Mercy Park. In 10 years I’ve watched them play Manchester United, hosted the USA versus Jamaica for an Olympics qualifying game, win the Open Cup Championship, host the All-Star Game, and win the MLS Championship in the COLDEST sporting event I’ve ever shot. How cold? 11 degrees cold! Thankfully this weekend won’t be anything close to that temperature. The excitement level will be on the same level as a championship game though. SportingKC has some of the most devoted and loudest fans in Kansas City. With theatrics like fireworks and hype videos to kick-off the games, there is always pure energy running through the stands during the game. SportingKC has come a long way but they will always have a unique place in my heart since they were the first major league sport I ever covered. These days I have the privilege to cover it for my dream company, Getty Images.
Below are a handful of few of my favorite images taken in the past couple of years of SportingKC.
