#10 Children’s Mercy Park (Sporting Kansas City)

Capacity – 18,467

The home of the 2013 MLS Cup champions has a rather low capacity (third lowest in the league), however, the way the seats are placed makes it a great place to watch soccer. Children’s Mercy Park doesn’t have an “upper deck”, allowing their fans to be a close to the pitch as possible.

A huge factor going in the favor of the stadium is it’s two standing room sections. Each goal line hosts general admission standing, the north hosting their supporter group, the Cauldron. Also, to the luck of the players, Sporting KC’s home pitch features a grass surface.
