MLS side switch clash to 76,500 home that regularly houses Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift for Lionel Messi
Sporting Kansas City have moved their MLS clash against Inter Miami to a larger venue to accommodate Lionel Messi and his army of fans.
The league fixture is scheduled for April 13 and would have taken place as the club's usual venue, Children's Mercy Park.
But instead of playing at their usual 18,500-seater stadium, the MLS side will instead play at the 76,500 home of NFL franchise, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Messi's introduction to American soccer has seen plenty of venues sell out their stadiums as fans look to get a glimpse of the game's greatest-ever star.
As a result, Sporting Kansas City could see an additional 58,000 fans turn out to see the Argentine superstar in action.
Led by talismanic quarter-back Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs are one of the most successful American Football sides in the NFL at the moment, having won last year's Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.
As well as reaching two of the last three Super Bowl finals, the Arrowhead Stadium has attracted plenty of headlines this year due to the romance of Chiefs star Travis Kelce and pop sensation, Taylor Swift.
Swift is a regular attendee of the Chiefs' NFL contests and was even seen handing out huge tips to the food service staff in her private suite.
It's clear that the 76,500 venue is used to housing some of the world's biggest VIPs, something that will certainly come in handy with Messi and co. in town.
