Sporting Kansas City’s media corp is set to be put to the test once again as the annual Halftime Media Game makes its triumphant return when Sporting KC hosts Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday, July 12.
The joyous/exciting/occasionally comedic event is a thrill for fans and the press alike, with 35 members of the local media scene set to go head-to-head in the Blue Hell for ultimate intra-industry bragging rights.
The two teams will be split into one group of 17 and one of 18. Sporting Blue will be showcasing the resplendent Hoops 4.0 jerseys, while Sporting Indigo will don the classy State Line 3.0 outfits that debuted in 2022.
