It's a great sports market because honestly there isn't a ton of other stuff to do...the Royals have no attendance because they are flaming butt, that isn't the fans fault.

This cannot be the top soccer market. Too many good ole boys around here that hate soccer with a passion.

No NHL team. No NBA team. No MLB team.

The Chiefs are this city right now.

Yep, it works the opposite way down here. Too many choices on what to do in Florida. That’s why almost all sports teams down here struggle to get butts in their seats.

It was different in the 80's from what I understand but definitely not since 1993, except those two seasons where the Royals pulled a Rip Van Winkle and made not only the playoffs but the WS.

Stadium size limits them a bit, but Sporting KC is considered a top club, basically every game is sold out and it's considered one of the loudest stadiums in MLS. kC has a surprisingly strong soccer market for whatever reason. It's big enough that KC is getting World Cup matches.

I don't even buy that NBA or NHL wouldn't draw here.

The Royals don't draw because they have been really really terrible for 95% of a 30 year period. If they were just competent they would draw.

Sporting KC has been mediocre at best the last few seasons. Five years ago (and certainly 10 years ago) the club was more popular and successful. They've become stagnant with the same manager and philosophy.

Besides, calling KC the top soccer market in the country? That's a bold claim considering there's bigger towns with larger immigrant populations from countries where soccer is life. I'm glad we're getting the World Cup and I'm not saying this isn't a good soccer market. Just think calling it the best is a stretch.

Do not ignore the college sports aspect. K-State, KU and Mizzou all have a strong draw in the KC market.

KC has the largest competitive youth soccer league in the nation.

Sports does well in KC because it's an area that is starved for things to do, it is what it is.

This market really has very few options of things to do for people.
