Sporting Kansas City will begin the club's 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup campaign at 7:30 p.m. CT on Tuesday at Sporting Park with a fourth round match against USL expansion side St. Louis FC. A limited number of tickets are available via Ticketmaster.com and the match is included as Special Game A in season ticket packages.
Sporting Kansas City will provide a live stream, presented by Sprint, on SportingKC.com and in-game updates can be found by following @SKCGameday on Twitter. A record crowd is expected for the first competitive match in team history against a St. Louis opponent with the winner advancing to the Round of 16, for which a draw will be conducted by U.S. Soccer on Thursday.
Unbeaten in the club's last seven MLS games, Sporting Kansas City (6-2-6, 3rd place) will resume the regular season campaign against Real Salt Lake (4-5-6, 9th place) at 9 p.m. CT on Sunday at Rio Tinto Stadium. The Soccer Sunday match-up will be nationally televised on FOX Sports 1 and features two teams that have reached the postseason in each of the last five years, highlighted by a meeting in the 2013 MLS Cup final.
Sporting Kansas City midfielder Paulo Nagamura will make a special appearance from 5:30-7 p.m. CT on Thursday at Jack in the Box (211 S. 18th Street) in Kansas City, Kansas for a meet-and-greet with fans. The 11-year MLS veteran is in his fourth season with Sporting KC, playing every minute in the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup championships.
On Friday, Sporting Kansas City captain Matt Besler will participate in the annual Big Slick Celebrity Classic softball game at 5 p.m. CT at Kauffman Stadium. Besler will be joined by Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, Rob Riggle, Eric Stonestreet and many more local stars as Big Slick Celebrity Weekend kicks off when gates open at 4:30 p.m. CT.
Sporting Kansas City is once again a proud supporter of Boulevardia, which will be held Friday through Sunday in KC's 12th Street Bridge Historic District in the West Bottoms. Tickets are available online for the annual beer, food and music festival, which will feature four Sporting KC players -- Kevin Ellis, Ike Opara, Jon Kempin and Chance Myers -- as celebrity bartenders from 7-8:30 p.m. CT on Friday. In addition, Roger Espinoza and Marcel de Jong will be making special appearances from 7-8:30 p.m. CT on Friday at Sporting Kansas City's VIP tent, where all tips received will go toward The Victory Project.
Finally, the Sporting Kansas City Under-13 and Under-15 Academy teams will begin play at the 2015 US Youth Soccer Region II Championships this weekend in Fox Cities, Wisconsin. Visit SportingKC.com for each team's roster and match schedule as the squads compete against the top teams from a 13-state region for a berth in the 2015 US Youth Soccer National Championships.
