After a fun week in Kansas City, Mo., the Giant Jersey Tour is heading to Denver!

 

I had a great time in Kansas City and saw an exciting MLS game on Saturday. The Kansas City Wizards played FC Dallas in front of a sellout crowd at CommunityAmerica Ballpark and everyone there was in for a treat! The teams battled back and forth before Wizards team captain Jimmy Conrad knocked in a goal late in the game to give the home team a 3-2 win. The win was the Wizards' third in the past four games and it kept their playoff hopes alive!

 

Once again, everyone loved the Giant Jersey Tour and kids came by all night to hang out and try out the adidas kickwall!

 

 

 

They wore cool t-shirts and buttons to show their support for Youth Soccer Month and waved US Youth Soccer pom poms and fans to help cheer on the Wizards during the game!

 

 

 

Before I left Kansas City, I made sure to visit some neat places around town. This statue at Clark's Point marks the spot where explorers Lewis and Clark camped over 200 years ago before traveling farther west.

 

 

Kansas City is famous for its unique style of barbeque food and there are over 100 barbeque restaurants there! I ate at Jack Stack Barbeque, which is rated as one of the best barbeque restaurants in the country. It was delicious!

 

 

I'll be in Denver Wednesday  for the Colorado Rapids' game against the San Jose Earthquakes. After that, the Giant Jersey Tour is off to Chicago and Dallas. Check back soon for more stories and pictures!
