KC Cauldron Scarves

Sporting Kansas City announced on Friday that standing room only tickets are now sold out for the team's Eastern Conference Championship second leg against the Houston Dynamo on November 23 at Sporting Park. All seats for the postseason rematch sold out within 24 hours of the general public on sale last week.


Supporters are encouraged to arrive early for the 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff due to the capacity crowd and other scheduled events in the Village West area. Parking lots will open at 3 p.m. CT on the day of the game and all ticket holders will be permitted to begin accessing their seats inside the stadium at 4:30 p.m. CT.


NBC Sports Network (English) and Univision Deportes (Spanish) will nationally televise the Eastern Conference Championship finale. Locally, Sports Radio 810 WHB will broadcast the game live from Sporting Park and continue their coverage with The Final Whistle: Sporting KC Postgame Show. La Gran D 1340 AM will also air the game for their listening audience.


Following a scoreless draw in the opening leg last weekend, Sporting Kansas City can advance to host MLS Cup 2013 with a victory over Houston. The team's postseason run, presented by Ivy Funds, began in the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a 4-3 triumph on aggregate over the New England Revolution courtesy of a dramatic 3-1 win in extra time at Sporting Park.


Sporting Kansas City set a new single-season attendance record in 2013 with an average attendance of 19,709 for regular season matches. The team has sold out 34 consecutive MLS home matches (including playoffs) and more than 21,000 fans filled the state-of-the-art venue for the 2013 MLS All-Star Game in July.
