With the 2024 season still a ways off, Lionel Messi’s arrival has the potential to completely alter the Major League Soccer scene. The Argentine’s mere presence is creating so much excitement that teams are already searching for new venues to play in.
In reality, talkSPORT.com reports that Sporting Kansas City has shifted their April 13 home game against Inter Miami from its home stadium, Children’s Mercy Park, to Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Demand to see Messi in Kansas City
Sporting KC had to relocate from its 18,500-seat stadium to the NFL’s much larger, 76,500-seat Arrowhead Stadium, a total of 58,000 more people, due to the demand for the game versus Messi’s Inter Miami.
The TicketMaster website is displaying pricing for tickets to the game between $50 and $480, but they have not been distributed yet. Sales will start on January 16 and the resale values will undoubtedly reach enormous sums of money.
Watch out for Travis Kelce and his mega-famous companion, singer Taylor Swift, who have become ‘America’s Couple’ since announcing their engagement, as well as Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
