Following a well-earned 3-1 road win over Vancouver to open the season last weekend, Sporting Kansas City will begin their 10th home campaign at world-class Children's Mercy Park on Saturday when the Houston Dynamo visits for the newest installment of an intense Western Conference rivalry. Saturday's long-awaited and highly anticipated showdown will kick off at 7:30 p.m. CT and tickets remain available at SeatGeek.com, with the first 10,000 fans through the stadium gates receiving a free rally towel courtesy of match sponsor UMB Bank.
Supporters not in attendance on Saturday can watch the action unfold live on FOX Sports Kansas City, FOX Sports Midwest Plus and FOX Sports GO, including 30 minutes of pre-match and post-match coverage with Nate Bukaty, Jacob Peterson and touchline reporter Carter Augustine on the call. Fans can also listen locally on Sports Radio 810 WHB (English) and La Grande 1340 AM (Spanish).
