What's up Mizzou? I just heard something about 20k people expected to pack a stadium today in Kansas City just to watch a World Cup game? Or did I hear that wrong?
What's up with that?
Not that I'm anti-soccer or anything, it's just unusual in a SEC state. I thought SCAR was the only program in the conference that carred about men's soccer.

Yankees love soccer. Makes sense

There's a difference between college soccer and the USA in the World Cup. This is big. I would love to be part of that 20k.
I'm having about 20 people come watch it at my house.

Sporting KC averages about 20k per game, so that sounds about right.

SKC has a beautiful stadium.

Atlanta is getting an MLS team in 2017. Orlando is getting one next season.

I am in a Deep South state, think this is awesome, and woul be there if I could. Nice attempt at a troll OP but didn't work out for you this time.

Soccer became pretty popular here in MO about 10-15 years ago. It has taken a lot of good high school athletes away from the football programs. I don't get it either.

That's bad arse. I'd love for UT to have a viewing party with half that turn out.

And I hope they have such horrible attendance that they disband or move the team in 5 years.

I don't like soccer but love the World Cup...one of the best sporting events in the World. Hell Cowboy stadium had over 80,000+ when Mexico played there 2wks ago. Dallas and Houston always have friendly's and they are packed. Kansas City have a good number of immigrants.
ETA: Is the stadium that they are watching the game in over in Kansas City,KS??? That's where the pro soccer team plays, in Kansas.

I never thought soccer was going to get as popular as it has. It went from Americans pretending to care about soccer to Americans actually caring about soccer. I personally don't care about soccer though.

This. Normally I don't care about soccer but seeing different cultures clash in this thing is fun to watch.

I don't see how its unusual in an SEC State for a bunch of people to show up for a World Cup game. I know a shite ton of soccer fans my age and I live in Tennessee.

That's awesome. I know soccer is huge in KC and STL

That isn't in a SEC state. Sporting's stadium is in Kansas.

AC Milan and Liverpools are playing at BofA stadium in Charlotte in Augusta. Tickets are already sold out.
