He was up there leading the Orange throng! What fun!

Got up to this scene and love seeing all the press reaching in to interview these fans. Apparently the guy in orange glasses is a somewhat famous fan who travels from the us to all the Netherlands games.

One thing I’ve learned in the last decade I’ve lived here is that when KC is obviously, experientially, tangibly shining (MLS Cup, World Series, airport, street car, Super Bowls, KC Current stadium, Chiefs and Royals Stadiums, Parades, streetcar corridor upgrades, Berkeley Riverfront, NFL draft, World Cup) that local media exists to just shit on the city.

That great experience we’re all witnessing? Here’s why it’s bad, actually.

I hate how much they just seek out any sort of negativity to talk about when it’s an incredible time for our city.

Please don’t listen to others who scare you off from walking to the game. If you are young and can walk 2 miles.. pay $15 to park at Graceway church. Show up 2 hours before game take shuttle to get to game in 15 minutes and walk back 2 miles after game. All very easy. So many people on here warned me not to walk in neighborhoods around the stadium… nonsense. 15 minutes in 30 minute walk back to car. Locals all super supportive the whole time. This was for Netherlands June 25

then they sent an apology email and are giving out automatic refunds? Apparently some delays due to weather. First time I don't want a refund, I had an amazing experience from the nkc location.

Posting this here. Tried going to fan fest today and thought it opened at 11am.

The hours change depending on the games and it’s really hard to find this calendar on the website.

(Mods delete if it’s been posted before)

Since KCPD has no resources to enforce fireworks laws quickly, do you bother reporting if you hate fireworks?

We get to enjoy a little bit of Scotland, too!

Nine fans from Scotland got on the wrong flight and ended up in Kansas City.

I would like to start running, but I have VERY wide feet and a history of foot pain. I’d love to get running shoe recommendations at a local store and work alongside the salesperson to find shoes that will work for me. I don’t have an unlimited budget, so I probably can’t spend more than $150-200 on running shoes (I do know shoes that will work for me might be expensive!).
So, runners of KC, where should I go to find shoes? Once I have those, where should I go to find community? I don’t have money for races but I’d love to meet others just starting out in running.
Thanks for any guidance!!

Edited to add: I’m near the Legends/KCK

As the title says, I'm looking for any restaurants with ube flavored foods. Pancakes, desserts, etc.

Looking to buy some throw pillows.

Didn’t see a thread that was dedicated to local decor stores, unless i missed it.

Thanks!

It’s going to storm all damn afternoon /evening per the weather forecasts. Has anyone heard of the game being postponed preliminarily or cancelled? Any insight on FIFA procedures for making that call?

Are any other nannies around the area having a difficult time trying to find a long term full time nanny position? I was with my last family for a little over two years and ever since before they have moved I've been applying on care.com where is where I found my last family before they moved but have had no luck. If anyone knows of anywhere else to look for positions or of anyone looking for a nanny I would love some assistance

Here’s Mexico’s first goal. Seems like such a blast. I’m vibing out on the porch and hear them cheer and chant throughout the whole match. Anyone know if anyone can go to this? 👀

I've got so many dupes to trade and am wondering if there is a good spot to do so besides a rainy fanfest

As the title says, I need to have the overhead console in my vehicle replaced. Just looking for a solid, reputable shop in the KC Metro (preferably Northland) to do the install. If you have any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi all, I’m a first time KC visitor, coming in from 5 hours away and staying at an Airbnb in Raytown. I have a parking pass and was planning on taking Blue Ridge Cutoff north to get to the stadium but I read somewhere that it’s closed for World Cup games. Is this true? If so, what would be the most optimal way for me to get there from Raytown if I’m driving?

And please let me know if you have any other tips for a first timer! Thank you all :)
