A Kansas City Sports Renaissance – TravelHost

/in /by

Kansas City has a long history in professional sports, which has included national championships in the National Football League, Major League Baseball, and Major League Soccer. The Chiefs won the AFL title in 1962 and in 1966 when they went on to lose Super Bowl I. They won the last AFL championship in 1969 and went on to win Super Bowl IV. The Royals became the first expansion team to reach the MLB playoffs in 1976 and to reach the World Series in 1980, and finally to win the World Series in 1985 against the cross-state rival St. Louis Cardinals. The Royals did not make the playoff again until last year, reaching the World Series via a Wild Card spot in 2014.  Sporting Kansas City has won the MLS Cup twice, once as the KC Wizards in 2000 and again in 2013. They have also won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup twice in 2004 and 2012. Although, any of these teams have rarely been successful at the same time. This fall promises to be an exciting time in Kansas City Sports.
