CPKC Stadium

And then every year, the venue for the JNUC party is something unique.

This year, Jamf held it at the CPKC Stadium, which is special for a couple of reasons.

So first, it's home to the Kansas City Current, which competes in the National Women's Soccer League, and it's the first privately funded stadium purposely built exclusively for a professional women's soccer team.

And if you're thinking, "Wait, Kansas City, women's soccer," then you're barking up the right tree.

Yeah, I mean, we have gotten cameos, but it's not like, oh, we're gonna go play London City Lionesses and here is the full team on the field, right? Like, 'cause it's always...

Again, I, I think to the, the point about Danny being in the hallway at CPKC Stadium, they need people who are in the Screen, Screen Actors Guild in order to play these parts.

But I do think that there is a sense of there's a lot happening now within WSL.

I mean, to me, one of the more interesting things that you could do is Rebecca coming in now as an owner and wanting to compete with legacy teams-

... just a little bit of a blur, then you're like, whoa, she's really fast.

Like, now I understand why the entirety of CPKC Stadium starts screaming-

Yeah

... as soon as Kenwa takes off.

More NWSL.

The Kansas City Current enjoyed a scoring frenzy at CPKC Stadium on Saturday, defeating Bay FC 5 to 1.

It was actually Bay FC that got on the board first with Carli Lima finding the back of the net in just the fourth minute, but the Current went on to record five unanswered goals, including a hat trick from Debinha in the second half.

Also on Saturday, a rare red card from Sophia Smith in the Portland Thorns/Boston Legacy matchup.

They've been, they've been playing very well.

And the Current fairly comprehensively dispatched them, uh, at CPKC, CPKC Stadium this weekend.

But first, Cody, we have to get to the performance in Houston.

I think, you know, I think I had noted last week before, before we did the preview that Sporting Kansas City has actually had a pretty tough schedule over the last several games.

behind Denver at the time, and the lack of momentum behind us, right.

But I think it just shows just the fortress that CPKC stadium is it, it's the great equalizer, you know, like, it doesn't matter what momentum you've had in these fast in these past five games.

Here, it's we're on equal playing field here.

And it wasn't even equal, I think Kansas

Our defense also looking really, really not hot.

First goal came in the 12th minute.

Denver had a good series of passes a couple of them our defense did this some justice by diving in some pretty poor 1v1 moments a scramble all in all um and lindsey heap just did what she did best kind of got the ball touched it into space slotted it home into the goal denver's up one nothing i was like oh crap here we go dare i say our streak at cpkc stadium is lost but no that did not happen The game was intense, though, I thought just back and forth, very like physical in the first half.

I think that Kansas City, both teams rather, were a little bit frustrated just kind of with the way it was going.

So your fans are great.

I love CPKC Stadium.

A wonderful time.

But you don't have the advantage of it anymore.

Crazy what happens when you hire good coaches, huh? Oh yeah, we had that.

I remember that.

But now Kansas City returns to CPKC Stadium, Denver, this Saturday.

Finally a Saturday game, 11.30 a.m., And then
