Sports Radio 810 WHB, the official radio partner of Sporting KC, will also broadcast live on-site.
Members of the Kansas City Cauldron supporters group will then take the stage to lead chants before a hype video and message from Sporting KC players runs on the KC Live! Block video screen. Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes and President Jake Reid will address fans in attendance to round out a momentous night in the Power & Light District.
Wednesday’s Open Cup Final at Children’s Mercy Park will be televised nationally on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes. Sporting KC are seeking their third Open Cup title since 2012 and their fourth overall.
