| What Professional Sports Teams Are In Kansas City |
The Big Leagues: Where the Glory Lives
Kansas City Chiefs (NFL): These guys are the kings of the jungle (or well, the gridiron, which is basically the same thing). Super Bowl champs with a legion of fans who paint their faces red and yell themselves hoarse (in a good way!), the Chiefs are a guaranteed good time. Just be prepared to learn the offside rule and the difference between a blitz and a… well, a blender. Those things can be confusing at first.
Kansas City Royals (MLB): Baseball may be America's pastime, but in Kansas City, it's a full-blown obsession. The Royals, with their iconic fountains in the outfield, have brought home the World Series championship and boast some of the most epic tailgate parties this side of the Mississippi (and let's be honest, probably the other side too).
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
Sporting Kansas City (MLS): Calling all soccer fans! Sporting KC isn't just a team, it's a family. They play in a stadium specifically built for Major League Soccer, which means the atmosphere is electric and the seats are comfy (important detail, trust me).
Beyond the Big Leagues: Where Legends Are Still Made
Kansas City Monarchs (Independent Baseball): Catch a rising star (or a seasoned vet!) with the Monarchs. This independent league team offers a fun, affordable way to experience America's favorite sport. Plus, who knows, you might just be seeing the next big MLB star before they hit the big leagues!
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
And More! We're talking hockey, roller derby, rugby – you name it, Kansas City's got a team for it.
So, How Do You Choose a Team?
Tip: Write down what you learned.
That's the beauty of it! With so many options, you can find a team that fits your style. Want face paint and fireworks? Go Chiefs! Feeling fancy? Take in a Sporting KC game. Like things a little more… independent? The Monarchs await!

Alright, Alright, You Got Me Hooked! How Do I Get Involved?
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
How to Score Tickets: Each team has its own ticketing system, but most offer online options. Do some research and snag those seats!
How to Talk the Talk: Brush up on the basics of your chosen sport. Nobody wants to be the person asking "what's a touchdown?" in the middle of the third quarter.
How to Dress the Part: Team jerseys are a must! Though, with Kansas City's love of barbeque sauce, maybe avoid white for the first few games…
How to Celebrate (or commiserate): Learn the team's victory chant (or, ahem, commiseration cry) in advance. Bonus points for creative use of barbeque sauce as celebratory face paint (at your own risk).
How to Find Your Crew: Kansas City fans are passionate and welcoming. Strike up a conversation with the folks around you, and you'll be cheering like a local in no time!
