Latest Kansas City hotel reviews
It was very cold for April. Only 44 degrees! And at the end of the night it began to snow! But no matter how cold it was, it was definitely worth it. I with they had more publicity for the team because they are all very down to earth guys who play a great game. Can't wait to see them again.
Make sure that you check the forecast before heading there. It may be 80 degrees or 40. Ya never know until you check!

Kansas City is home to the Wizards of Major League Soccer. Games are played at Arrowhead Stadium (east of KC on Interstate 70) from April through September. See Wizards stars such as Preki, Tony Meola, Chris Klein, Josh Wolf, Nick Garcia, Diego Gutierrez, Kerry Zavagnin, and more.
If you've never seen the world's favorite sport, you've got to give it a try. If you're a life-long fan visiting from another country, you should see how well the American game and American players are developing.
Unfortunate negative: Arrowhead Stadium is designed for American Football - not futbol, and can seat almost 80,000 spectators. It's not a great venue for the game, but it's all we've got at present.

Major League Soccer (MLS) is a first division professional soccer league in the United States. We have had The KC Wizards (formerly KC Wiz) since 1996, but I believe that the interest in soccer did not surge until 2000 when the Wizards had an outstanding year and became MLS champions. It's sort of the equivalent of winning the superbowl of soccer.
Kansas City Wizards, one of the first ten original teams to have been created, is founded by Lamar Hunt who is also the founder of the Kansas City Chiefs and owner of the Columbus Crew (eastern conference).
The Wizards are part of the Western conference which includeds San Jose, Los Angeles, Colorado and Dallas. The Eastern conference houses the Chicago Fire, Columbus Crew, D. C. United, New England Revolution, and the New York/New Jersey MetroStars
Unlike many other professional sports leagues in the United States, MLS is organized as a "single-entity" organization, in which the league contracts directly with the players, in an effort to control spending and maximize exposure. Each team has an owner/investor and the league allows an owner to have more than one team.
Interesting to note that Kansas City Wizards midfielder Chris Klein was selected to be part of the 23-man U.S. Soccer Team. begins preparation for the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup in France. I guess that's pretty big in the world of soccer.
