72,610 people watched Sporting KC vs. Inter Miami on a perfect night at Arrowhead Stadium. That's a record-breaking number for a five-goal thriller featuring the greatest soccer player of all time. And Lionel Messi did exactly what everyone was watching as the greatest player of all time.
And so was Eric Toomey!
However, the decision to move the game to Arrowhead was met with a lot of backlash from die-hard Sporting KC fans. Is this an admission that one player is bigger than the club we love? Did they really give away home games to make money?
Or was it all just a big, spectacular sight for us to see and remember for the rest of our lives?
This discussion leads us to the latest episode of Shades of Blue.
Cheyenne will be joining us in the studio. Between clean sheets For extended episodes. She gives us an outsider's perspective on the potential impact of that frenetic night of football in Kansas City.
