With the World Cup just four months away, Kansas City will play a major role in not only hosting games, but also serving as a base camp for some of the biggest names in the tournament. Is the city ready? We'll talk about what to watch in the run-up.
Argentina’s team will make its base camp here, along with at least England and the Netherlands. That could bring a lot more fans to town for the duration of the World Cup. KCUR’s Madeline Fox and the Kansas City Star’s Blair Kerkhoff talked about what that means for the city on the SportsBeat KC podcast.
