I visited the arena to attend a graduation ceremony…read more The arena had ample seating in the bleachers, with accessible seating on the arena behind the graduates. It would have been great to know that concessions were open in advance, so hopefully you're reading this before your next visit. We had children and a toddler in attendance, who would have appreciated knowing the concession was open in advance. Some great things to highlight about the space: - Many bathrooms to choose from - We appreciated having the ability to walk around the arena using the upmost bleacher. We did not have to impede anyone's view while moving!

Inside if you stop by guest services you can get a pin and sticker for first time visits. The game was exciting and we even got in on the " KC Baby" chants. A wide variety of food venders so there is something for everyone. Well done!

Specifically..The Ted Lasso promo event. What a VERY dissapointing event!!…read moreWe arrived early to get the promo scarf but were told they were already out... there couldn't have been more than a few hundred people in the stadium when we got there. Later we saw 2 employees dragging a huge box of scarves into the guest services office. We went over to ask about them but was met with the door being shut in our face before we could politely ask about them. Later in the evening there was a woman with a bunch around her neck walking around asking trivia questions but she only allowed one of us to play the game ( there were two of us)... And yet we saw her putting scarves around three little children who weren't even capable of playing the game a few minutes later. Now for the worst part of the evening...Fans were not allowed to sit in the shaded area of the stands and were told that we had to sit in the lower seating area on the east side in the glaring sun if we wanted seats, and that they were "filming" and wanted to make sure that the lower area was filled first. Yet the lower area on the west/shaded side was only open to VIPs. ( this was a free event and there was no option for a VIP ticket. So we have no idea how those seats were distributed) They had huge fans set up but they weren't turned on. It was a heat index of 102°!! We were forced to stand in the common areas for shade for 1.5 hrs before they finally opened up the shaded upper area on the west side. We know of two people that were overcome by heat, one of them was a child. Now about the Ted Lasso part of the event...The fact that five members of the cast came out said "hi" and were on the screen less than a minute before showing a 1 min preview clip of the next season & then leaving was very dissapointing. we never saw them again. Later there seemed to be social media posts that showed more but that didnt actually happen was shocking. We really expected a little more from this promotion due to the hype and the Ted Lasso bus riding around Kansas City all day. Very poor planning, and a lot of disappointed fans leaving the stadium early. We rode back on the streetcar to a lot of people just complaining about how disappointed they were and how badly it was handled. One more item that was very disappointing was for a FIFA Semi final watch party event the speaker system in the stadium was not working well. Fans could not hear what was going on at all and a lot of people left to go other places to watch the game. So, hey #brittneymahomes...while you were enjoying yourself at Chiefs stadium, your business venture really bombed this event.

I recently attended an Indian music concert here and had a great time! The auditorium is very…read morespacious inside and had a sitting area facing the huge stage. It was easy to go in and out of the auditorium area and the toilets were besides the gates of the auditorium- very convenient. I did see a balcony section as well. The food provided by the auditorium was ok - I bought popcorn and it turned out to be stale and very salty but I was glad to find outside vendors selling more food inside and it filled the void. I also felt that they should do a better job of hanging seating signs outside the main areas because it was very confusing to find my seat inside. To conclude, The stage, sound, service and overall event was fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Last night we attended our first Kansas City Current match at CPKC Stadium…read more Having heard so many glowing reviews about the first stadium built specifically for a women's professional sports team, we were excited to experience both the venue and the atmosphere. Our first impression was the outstanding customer service. Whether it was the ticket takers, concession staff, or guest services team, everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. The stadium itself was also immaculate. One of the best things about an 11,500-seat stadium is that there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The sightlines are excellent, and it's a quick walk to the concessions and restrooms from just about anywhere. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to install some of those Big Ass Fans beneath the roof overhang to help keep fans cooler on warm evenings. We were in Section 231, Row 18 on July 29. It was about 90 degrees with lower humidity and overcast skies. You could feel a nice breeze when walking through the concourse, but once we were back in our seats, the air felt warm and still. The new Morton Amphitheater uses these fans under its roof, and they make a noticeable difference. If CPKC Stadium is ever expanded, they would be a terrific addition. The match itself couldn't have been much better. The Current defeated Racing Louisville 5-1, and the first four goals were scored at our end of the field in the first half. We definitely picked the right side to sit on! Someone told us to stop by Guest Services for a complimentary First Match pin. Not only did we get the pin, but the two wonderful staff members also surprised us with a few extra pieces of Current swag, including a sticker and another pin. What a fantastic first experience. We can't wait to come back!

Great stadium with excellent people flow!…read more Getting into the stadium was a breeze and exiting and driving away was also quite easy with very few hiccups for having 69k people in attendance for the Colombia v.

We came here for a World Cup match between Ecuador and Curacao (it was a draw, 0-0). Waaayy more…read moreEcuador fans than Curacao, but that's besides the point! I am not sure if the problems were how FIFA organized this or the logistics of the place, but the journeys into and out to the buses were nightmares! We paid for a shuttle to take us there, but there was what HAD to be 1 mile walk between the dropoff and the stadium! It was so hot, we needed a post shuttle shuttle! Seriously? The parking lot was also filled with FIFA sponsors and a store of course to buy merch. WE passed overflowing containers of bottles and things that were not allowed in. Once we got close, there were no well defined and organized lines near the gates or entrances. People were a little frustrated but no incidents that I saw. Getting in was ok, but we passed what seemed like 3 levels of security, which I can totally understand for such a huge event. Once inside we were fine. The setup of the stadium pretty standard. We ate a couple of hours before, so we just got drinks and snacks. (the price of Flamin Hot Cheetos was crazy!) and my party got a souvenir cup. The inside photos of the match were great! WE had nice seats to see the action; as a Chicagoan I compare most stadiums to Soldier Field, and it's not much better or worse. The bathrooms were ok, I think, and the red/yellow seats were unique. Getting out was just terrible! We visited a couple of booths in the parking lot to get free swag, and when it came time to head to the buses, there were crowds and ill organized lines with signs of where to go. It was a long, hot hour plus nightmare with people getting very cranky (us included). WE opted for the bus when we read that FIFA wanted $120 for parking!! Nuts to that! OTOH, with an early flight, getting to a car and heading back to the hotel at a decent hour seemed priceless.

One of my son and I's summer traditions is to visit a new MLB stadium while my hometown team…read moreHouston Astros play there. With my kiddo in grad school in the Midwest, Kauffman Stadium was logistically our stadium of choice this summer. I'm glad we did because we loved this stadium. Baseball and football are KC's biggest professional sports and both their stadiums sit right next to each other eastern part of the city. It is right off the highway and hard to miss with it's large crown facing the highway. I will say that the general area of the stadium is pretty boring with not much to do except come to the stadium. Parking is plentiful and it does come with a cost. Pay ahead of time to save time. The stadium is in it's 54th season but doesn't have an old feel to it. It actually had a very open feel to it with a large concourse that made walk around easy without being shoulder to shoulder. Hard to miss much of the game walking around as the stadium if very open with views from every angle. Tours are available which I usually do but didn't have time this time around. I like to always come when gates open to really explore the stadium before the game starts. The day I went, they had a t-shirt giveaway which I gladly took to add to my collection. I've been to stadiums where there isn't much to see other than the game itself. Here, there is alot to see. One of the coolest features is the hard to miss water feature which is one of the largest privately funded fountains in the world. They also have this tall video board which happens to be the tallest LED video display in baseball. There is a Hall of Fame museum in the stadium where you can walk in and see the history of the team complete with lots of memorabilia. This park is very family friendly too. They have the Outfield Experience where they have things like mini golf, pitching mounds, batting challenges, playgrounds and even a carousel. Another thing I judge a park by is there dining options. I like a park that embraces the area and features food you can't get at other stadiums. One thing KC is known for is BBQ and they showcase that with the famous Joe's KC BBQ on premises. I dined at the actual restaurant the day before but had to come get the famous Z-Man Sandwich to finish my culinary adventures in the city. They also have other unique offerings along with your usual baseball park staples. They also don't charge an arm and a leg food or merch which made my wallet extra happy. They have value menus at certain concession stands where you can get items for 5 bucks or less. I explored every corner of this stadium and I can say, it's one of my favorite stadiums to date. I highly recommend making this a stop if you are exploring stadiums like myself.

The Royals vs. the Padres went into extra innings and ended with a walk-off win in the 10th, 7-6…read more Mind blowing doesn't even cover it! On a very hot day, we started smart -- Hawaiian Bros Dole Whip to cool down. Then went straight for our favorite: the Cheese Corn Brisketachos -- big portion, great plate to share. And of course, a frozen margarita because I always have to have one! The K has come a long way. The food and drink offerings are diverse and truly representative of what KC has to offer. Whether you're there for the game, the food, or the experience, there's something for everyone. The crowd had great energy -- not full capacity but very much alive! At one point a trend started with guys in a section rallying the crowd and taking off their shirts, and watching it grow from just a couple of guys to an entire section was hilarious and fun. Our friend got her moment on the birthday cam -- and the Fireworks Show after? Always a big hit and highly recommend staying for it! If you're a family of 4, look into the Sunday 4-Pack -- 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 sodas, and parking for under $150. A great bargain and a great time.

It was a little difficult to figure out how to access the place due to closed lots and such, but the Arena staff off Lot B were super-nice. We desperately needed some help with a high speed connection for a work thing. My partner in crime called and talked to Guillermo (hope I spelled it right, brother!) and he was a pro - made sure knew what time they close as it was already in the 8pm hour and didn't want to leave us hanging. Guillermo was cleaning up from the day when we got there and dropped everything to make sure we were taken care of and undisturbed. He got me plugged in immediately and we fired off what we needed to quick. The charge per hour was super-reasonable and with a free drink? Internet cafes of the 90's might be dead, but arenas like this are a godsend when you need some speed for up/down connections.
