On April 14, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami had a trip to the field of Sporting Kansas City Club within the framework of the American Professional League (MLS).
Under Messi’s attraction, the demand to go to the stadium to watch live increased rapidly. Initially, Sporting planned to hold the competition at its 18,000-seat home stadium. However, to meet fan demand, the team decided to temporarily borrow Arrowhead Stadium from the Kansas football team.
The price seems to be quite high, from 121 USD or more and is even pushed up many times on the “black market”, but it is still sold out. According to statistics, 72,610 fans showed up. As noted, Messi and Inter Miami fans outperformed the home team.

According to the organizers’ announcement, more than 72 thousand spectators were present at the stadium – a record in the history of Sporting City football team.
