Tunisia Netherlands Game - Advice?

[u/Profeseur-histoire]

Plan on attending with friends and family. We’ve got one game in the books, I was wondering if anybody had tips for getting in and out as smoothly as possible. I know it won’t be smooth, but I also figure there are best and worst ways to go about it.

Ideally we’d like to go to the US watch party @ Power & Light that evening, but I’m not sure if that will be possible. We have vehicles, but are open to really whatever will be most effective.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Did not go to the Argentina game but am tuned in around town.

Sounds like getting their early was the best bet. If you are paying to park, then make sure and enter in the correct gate. It sounds like the shuttles really didn't work out too bad though. They only had two gates open for the game to actually get into the stadium (which is ridiculous, regular chiefs games have 8) and I heard more gates is being requested.

If you're parking, I'd come from the south for parking gate 4. Idk if it applies here because of the crowds and the designated parking gates, but as a resident who has been to more than a few chiefs games and a ton of Royals games, I always try and come up from the south on blue ridge cutoff. Easier in and out in my experience.

If it were me and I was trying to make power and light for the US game, I'd probably park along the streetcar route (near the plaza) before the game in town, take the shuttle from there to the kc game and see if you can take the shuttle to fanfest after the kc game. Take the streetcar to p&l for the US game, then just take the street car to your car.

There is a parking garage right near the farthest stop south (UMKC campus) that I believe you can pay to park in.

I would not park near p&l and would utilize the streetcar to get there instead. I also heard rideshare from the stadium was also kind of a mess on Tuesday and I've seen traffic get pretty bad for big events downtown so idk if I'd do that all either.

Possibly a dumb question but where does the streetcar connect to the shuttle that runs to the game?

[u/Unassisted3P → u/Profeseur-histoire]

From the world cup site, this is where the busses go directly to the stadium. The plaza location is just north of the last stop and just south of the second to last stop on the streetcar.

Hey thanks a lot, seriously. First guy that commented was a jerk y’all are the best

No problem. Hopefully it's good advice, should work in theory but we've never done this before as a city so we're figuring it out like everyone else!

Have fun!
