KANSAS CITY HYPES RIVERFRONT LADY SOCCER FIELD!!!

Don't let that skeptical headline betray our enthusiasm.

This is likely a much better use of this space than the current homeless camping ground.

However . . .

THIS IS NOT A "STADIUM" IT'S A SMALLISH FIELD THAT LOOKS LIKE THE PERFECT SIZE FOR A SPORT THAT DOESN'T DRAW MANY FANS!!!

Again . . . The development is nice and we'll enjoy JoCo housewives making the commute into KCMO and panicking if they miss their exit and turn East.

A bit more about the endeavor . . . 

The planned 11,000-seat stadium would open in 2024 on the east end of Berkley Riverfront in Kansas City. The team will release more details and talk about the plans at a news conference Tuesday afternoon at the site.

The stadium will be the first ever to be built specifically for a professional women's soccer team in the U.S.

“From the beginning, our vision has been to create a player-first experience, and facilities for our team that match not only the elite level of these incredible athletes, but also the passionate support of the Kansas City metro and our fans,” said KC NWSL Co-Founder and Co-Owner Chris Long. “We believe this significant investment and commitment will shape a stronger future for our entire region and our athletes.”
