Sporting Kansas City News Release
Today, Sporting Kansas City announced Google Fiber as the club's Official Internet Service Provider in a new three-year partnership that will last through the 2024 Major League Soccer season.

Sporting fans will have access to a stadium "fast lane" sponsored by Google Fiber when attending matches at Children's Mercy Park. The fast lane will provide expedited entry through an exclusive lane for all fans who seek to enter the match without bags of any kind.
The multi-faceted partnership between Sporting Kansas City and Google Fiber will be highly visible for fans with integration of Google Fiber branding on the Sporting KC app, SportingKC.com and digital displays throughout Children's Mercy Park.

The plans give users the opportunity to connect to fast, reliable and fairly-priced internet with free installation and without data caps, annual contracts or hidden fees.

Google Fiber now serves Brookside, the Northland, Overland Park, Argentine, Lee's Summit, Olathe, Raymore and many more neighborhoods and municipalities across the metropolitan area. Google Fiber Spaces are located near Westport and Zona Rosa in Kansas City, as well as a kiosk inside Oak Park Mall.
