A Supporter's Story: The "Kelly Seat"

Sporting Kansas City has a lot of passionate fans. Below is the story of one special Sporting KC supporter currently stationed in Afghanistan, as told by his wife Laura.

A Supporter's Story: The "Kelly Seat" -

My husband, Kelly, has been deployed to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan since January. He is on a nine-month deployment - basically the entire 2013 SKC season. He LOVES Sporting, so I send him regular care packages filled with SKC updates, newspaper clippings, scarves, etc. Today, he emailed this picture of his office space! He calls it his mini-Cauldron halfway around the world.


For each home game this season, I have been inviting friends and family to sit in the "Kelly Seat." They each get their picture taken and sign the back of a special photograph that I bring along for each game. Below is a picture of our daughter, Isabel, as well as photos of other "Kelly Seat" sitters!
