The Supporters’ Stand is home to the Kansas City Cauldron supporters’ group and features nine sections of general admission bleachers on the north end of Children’s Mercy Park. All Supporters’ Stand tickets, including those purchased through the Sporting U Pass Season Ticket Membership, provide access to the Budweiser Brew House, where Sporting KC players enter the stadium on home matchdays and where Manager Peter Vermes raises a toast to the fans post-match to celebrate victories.
The Sporting U Pass Season Ticket Membership builds off the success of the Sporting U Pass, an initiative that began in 2023 to provide college students the opportunity to purchase $15 single-match tickets in the Supporters’ Stand at Children’s Mercy Park for Sporting KC home matches. Sporting Kansas City also announced the club’s new Sporting U NIL Program last week featuring Name, Image and Likeness agreements with five local NCAA Division I student-athletes.
Sporting Kansas City’s fan development department features four full-time associates and 14 part-time brand ambassadors – including a Collegiate Brand Ambassador – focused on outreach to college campuses. The team partners with universities and their athletic programs to co-host Sporting Kansas City activations at school events, including recent collaborations at the University of Omaha, University of Missouri and University of Kansas as well as upcoming activities with varsity soccer teams at Drury University, Creighton University, Missouri State University and the University of Nebraska.
