Patrick and Brittany Mahomes in the house to watch Lionel Messi and Inter Miami clash with Sporting KC at Arrowhead Stadium – home of NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs
The match was moved from Children’s Mercy Park – Sporting’s soccer-specific stadium – to accommodate the large audience expected for the contest against the Herons.
Arrowhead Stadium holds over 76,000 persons, and a near sellout is expected for a record attendance for a soccer match in the city. The last time Sporting played at the venue was 2007 against the LA Galaxy – where Miami co-owner David Beckham was on the pitch for their opposition.
Despite it being a home match, plenty of Messi and Miami kits were visible ahead of kickoff.
The Herons will take on Nashville SC next weekend, looking to pull off a third-straight result against Gary Smith’s side in 2024. Inter Miami pulled out a draw and a victory over two legs to knock them out in the Round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
