Examples
If you think getting tickets to the Kansas City World Cup games will be easy, you clearly haven't tried securing a table at a trendy brunch spot on a Sunday morning.
Locals are already practicing their 'goal' shouts, though most are just hoping the traffic congestion for the World Cup games doesn't accidentally turn a ten-minute commute into a weekend-long retreat.
Hosting the World Cup games is Kansas City's way of telling the rest of the world that yes, we have more to offer than just world-class barbecue and very strong opinions about steak seasoning.
