Kansas City Current"I think this game was brilliant, to have both teams score, because I don't think one person that was here in this stadium is not going to want to be back for the next game,", the Current's captain, said."They are going to tell more people. Everybody's going to want to come now because that was a show."CPKC Stadium cost over $120 million and was mostly privately funded.
The Current latched onto the momentum in the building to score two more times in the following 12 minutes.
