We went to a soccer match on Saturday in Kansas City for Mike's birthday. We had SOOOOOO much fun. Thanks to some friends from college that regularly attend, we got some great suggestions on seats. A friend of mine met us there and we sat in The Cauldron, which is an area of club supporters. It's like sitting in the grown up version of the student section at a college football or basketball game. If you don't mind a little language and a lot of fun, I highly recommend this section.
I have to say that the owners of the team who are also part of the Cerner company's leadership, have done an outstanding job with the team, the stadium and the overall fan experience. One of the pictures below is one of the owners, who regularly stands in the fan areas with the fans to watch the game. While the other team's goalie was warming up a ball came in to the stand and in the lap of a woman right in front of us. The ball landed in her beer which then was ALL over her. Well the owner saw this as he was standing down the row from us, proceeded to get $20 out of his wallet and pass it down to this woman to replace her beer. That just dumbfounded me. If only other professional sports team owners would feel the level of responsibility to the fans of the city that these guys do.
Even though it was my gift to Mike, I had just as much fun as he did. We will definitely go again. And for our friends, don't be surprised if we want to drag you along. It will be worth your while.
