…at the end of last season would’ve taken our current scenario with only these three facts- we have beaten our rival, we are ahead of the MLS champion Galaxy in the standings, and we have a coach that is not Peter. These are weird but potentially exciting times, my friends.

Joveljic was not only on fire, he brought the heart back to KC

Upvotes

Jove was an absolute monster on the pitch during that second half against STL.

I'm just a filthy casual but as such, I noticed something that I was surprised the broadcaster didn't mention. He was single-handidly responsible for the huge energy and morale shift; and that was equally needed for us to win.

Obviously a goal pumps you up but even just last week after the Shapi-Salloi goal; we ended up down by 1 right after.

The way Joveljic jumped into the stands after his first goal was straight electric! It felt like the jolt KC needed and the momentum after was palpable; even from my couch at home.

When he went for the shot that would've been a hat trick I genuinely jumped out of my seat!

Some of my favorite observations:

When he drew the foul he rolled and jumped right up which was a stark difference to Klaus laying it on thick every time he got touched.

His laser focus during his second goal was an absolute "this is why you pay me" clip.

A long ball got sent to the left wing. The defender jumped on Jove's back to head the ball and Joveljic immediately grabbed him and held him piggy back style for a solid 10 seconds 😂😂

I mean the guy was out there just having an absolute blast and the crowd responded equally!

I'm sure he's getting all kinds of well deserved love this week and I couldn't help but add some more!

The giant has awakened LET'S GO KC!!!!

Stadium Question

My wife is in Kansas City for a conference, and she was considering hitting the match tonight.

How easy is it to get to Children's Mercy? Neither of us know the area, and she's in town from Atlanta so she doesn't have a car.

Question about accessible seating at Sporting matches

12 Upvotes

Hi, I'm coming to the Sporting match tomorrow with my mom. We got tickets for her in the ADA section. She doesn't use a wheelchair but has some trouble walking due to heart trouble -- she can't do stairs.

When we came to a game last fall, it seemed like we had to walk an absurdly long way from the parking lots, across the street, and into the stadium, and then they told us the elevators to the concourse were only for season ticket holders (it was inside a ticketed area). She had a rough time getting up but was ok going back down later, thankfully.

I called the main number a couple of different times and got very polite people who said someone from guest services would call me back, but they never did. (I understand with the manager change things may be a little shaken up there, I'm not complaining, just looking for info).

Is there in fact some sort of shuttle that would take people from the parking lots to the stadium itself? And if so is there an elevator to the main/concourse level once we get in?

I know it can be confusing to people because she's not in a wheelchair, so I'm not sure exactly how to approach it. I basically just want her to be able to get to her seats without feeling exhausted.

Thanks in advance for any help!
