FCKC Release Their Schedule

FC Kansas City's schedule for the 2014 season has been released. The 24 game season will kick off at home for FCKC against Sky Blue FC. They'll also be the home opener for defending champions, Portland two weeks later as the Blues will play four of their first six games on the road. They'll end the season with three of their last five at home at UMKC.
For those worried about missing live soccer in person during the World Cup, the Blues will have three games while MLS teams are taking a break during the group stage. Two of those three, on June 7th and June 21st are at home.
And for those concerned about Sporting games conflicting with FC Kansas City, there is very little worry. For the second straight year, the league has avoided scheduling the Blues and Sporting at home on the same day. There are five dates when the two teams play on the same day though. All of them are FCKC road dates, but one. April 19th, while the Blues take on Washington on the road, Sporting have a home game against Montreal. A week later, on the 26th while FCKC is in Portland, Sporting plays at New England. May 14th the Blues are in Seattle while Sporting hosts Philadelphia. May 18th sees the Blues hosting Houston while Sporting is in Chicago. The final date is July 6th when FCKC play Sky Blue and Sporting hosts Chicago. None of the games start at the same time so it's conceivable that a fan could catch both games on each date. And if I was FCKC I'd be setting up a watch party at a nearby bar for their home game against Houston so fans can watch Sporting and then head over to UMKC.
