History and description

The Children's Mercy Park opened on June 9, 2011 with a match between Sporting Kansas City and Chicago Fire. The stadium was designed by Populous and built at a total cost of $200 million. In March 2011, Sporting Park announced a partnership with Lance Armstrong's Livestrong foundation. This resulted in the stadium carrying the foundation's name and donating part of its proceeds to Livestrong. The agreement was terminated in January 2013 following the doping controversies surrounding Lance Armstrong.

In 2015, Sporting KC announced a ten-year naming rights deal with Children's Mercy medical center. As a result, the stadium was renamed Children's Mercy Park.
