A team that waited for a permanent home all for 15 years, sporting KC had completed the journey finally never-ending game-10 road to start the season, and was never 2011 ready to home and play in front of a home crowd.

Fans were not to lose such a monumental history of football night in Kansas City.
It is just too bad that the game did not live to the public, and instead will temporarily be remembered for what appeared to be a non-foul call against scandalous bratislav ristic when sporting front omar Bravo box in the 85oy minute, and the aforementioned bottle discharge that followed. A beautiful evening events were undone and marred by suddenly somewhat eye on a very small part of the team's fanbase.
Not even that, however, could completely destroy this night different metapolemikoy Kansas City, Kan.
When KC sports ownership group-OnGoal, LLC-designed the Amphitheater with stage design, the juggernauts Populus objective was to design a stadium that not only provided a sufficient place for fans to watch a football match, but also give the Club the best home field advantage.
