For only the second time this season, Sporting Kansas City is off from MLS play for the weekend thanks to the international break. But just because there is no game on the schedule doesn't mean fans will miss out on a chance to see Sporting KC over the next couple of days. Check out the events below, where you can meet, greet and, yes, tweet your pic with a Sporting KC player.
