At the forefront, all fans who post social media photos wearing Sporting KC gear or colors using the hashtag #SportingBlueFriday will be entered for the chance to win tickets to a future Sporting KC home match at Children's Mercy Park.

Supporters are also invited to ride the KC Streetcar all day Friday to redeem exclusive offers from club partners.

In addition, fans are invited to attend No Other Pub in the Kansas City Power & Light District (1370 Grand Blvd.) for the Sporting Argyle Amber Ale happy hour on Friday. Supporters over 21 who wear Sporting gear and purchase the newly released Sporting Argyle Amber Ale at No Other Pub from 4-6 p.m. will receive a ticket to a future home match while supplies last.

Saturday's showdown between Sporting and Houston will be the first full-capacity crowd at Children's Mercy Park since March 7, 2020, when Manager Peter Vermes' side beat the Dynamo 4-0 in a thrilling 2020 home opener. Sporting will mark the occasion by welcoming 1,000 local medical professionals for the contest and a limited number of tickets remain available to the general public at SeatGeek.com.

As part of the club's Sporting Sustainability initiative, ticket holders will receive a sustainability bag upon exiting the stadium on Saturday night. Sporting and Houston will also wear limited-edition PRIMEBLUE match jerseys in partnership with adidas, and all supporters who purchase the PRIMEBLUE kit at SportingStyle locations will be entered to win a pair of PRIMEBLUE adidas shoes. Additionally, Sporting Argyle Amber Ale will be available at Children's Mercy Park concession stands for the first time.

Sporting (4-2-1, 13 points) enters the weekend on a two-game winning streak and occupying second place in the Western Conference. Forward Alan Pulido has earned back-to-back MLS Team of the Week honors and leads MLS during the month of May with four goals and 25 shots. Houston (3-2-2, 11 points) is close behind in fourth place and claimed a 1-0 home win over Sporting on May 12.
