Sporting KC Moves Home Game to Arrowhead Stadium for Messi's Inter Miami Match

The change in venue, from Children's Mercy Park to the larger Arrowhead Stadium, is to accommodate the expected influx of fans for the April 13 game.

Sporting Kansas City has moved its April 13 Major League Soccer home game against Lionel Messi's Inter Miami to Arrowhead Stadium from the team's Children's Mercy Park.
The move was made to accommodate the influx of fans expected to see Messi, who is regarded as the greatest player of his generation.
Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri, home of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, has a capacity of about 76,000, while Children's Mercy Park has a capacity of about 18,000.
The soccer team, then known as the Kansas City Wizards, previously played at Arrowhead Stadium from 1996 through 2007.
Single game tickets for the match go on sale Jan. 16 and start at $65, Sporting KC said.
