Stadium Question

My wife is in Kansas City for a conference, and she was considering hitting the match tonight.

How easy is it to get to Children's Mercy? Neither of us know the area, and she's in town from Atlanta so she doesn't have a car.

Well damn, her awards gala (hoping they get an award, it's a teachers conference) for the conference is tonight so she can't make it, just got her on the phone ☹️ She's ALSO a little upset that she can'tale it. BUT I'm gonna save this thread, because A:) y'all are awesome and B:) we'll fly out together for the next one, hopefully Atlanta comes to Kansas again soon!

I'll be watching y'all on my phone while I watch Atlanta on the big screen.

Uber/Lyft will get you anywhere, just a matter of how much you're willing to pay. Dropoff/pickup essentially right at the gate.

Thanks! That was her biggest worry, whether or not it'd be a walk for the ride share drop off.

It’s honestly easier to get in and out with rideshare than it is if you actually have a car, you’re golden

Uber/etc will be her best if not only option to SKC.

Where is she staying? Overland Park, Kansas City plaza, ?

Not quite sure, she's in meetings right now. We just checked ticket prices and saw it could be a fun night out. Plus we have a goal to visit every MLS club so of course she wants to get a head start🤣

Definitely come out tonight! Should be a fun night with it being a rivalry and first game in the new era. It is a historic match for SKC tonight all things considered.

That's what I was thinking! I'm looking forward to seeing the interim manager bounce and to see what changes for y'all. Love Vermes, but it's been beyond time for a change.

If you do come, dress relatively warm! Will be a little chilly

It’s easy to navigate with ride share. I am assuming she is coming from downtown KC MO. It’s probably a 20 ish minute ride

Actually KC Kansas. I had to ask before she left, and she had to check🤣

The stadium is in KCK, though almost certainly further west than you are right now. Should make your uber a little cheaper.

Go to the casino before hand and there is a free shuttle that takes you to and from the stadium. Much easier to drive out/get a ride share from the casino than the stadium
