The Kansas City Wizards are encouraging supporters to arrive early for Saturday’s match at 7:30 p.m. against Seattle Sounders FC at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. The Wizards have several activities planned throughout the day and are expecting a capacity crowd for the match, so fans are asked to plan accordingly to avoid traffic and long lines immediately prior to kick-off.
The Wizards are hosting a barbecue contest in the CommunityAmerica Ballpark parking lots during the day and will also be hosting five local soccer matches on the field before and after the Wizards match.
The game is also “Kicks for Canines,” which will allow fans who have purchased a special ticket package to bring their dogs into a reserved section of the stadium. Saturday is also KC Wizards College Night and students from the University of Kansas can take advantage of a special $20 ticket package that includes a bleacher ticket, ride to/from the match, and a hot dog and soda.
Tickets to Saturday’s match were also available on the popular website Groupon, and all fans who purchased the Groupon ticket package must redeem their vouchers at a special tent set up at Gate B.
The Legends area will be hosting a charity 5K on Saturday morning that will close several streets in the area. Fans arriving to CommunityAmerica Ballpark for early events on Saturday are advised to access the stadium from the west side, as State Avenue, 110th Street, and Stadium will all be open. Access from the east of the stadium will be unavailable from 6:30-11:00 a.m.
