Kansas City World Cup spending sets record, falls short of projection

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Kansas City’s World Cup set records but did not break them on every number, according to figures released by Visit KC.

Could sports become to Kansas City what music is to Nashville? Survey says ...

If Kansas City needed reassurance of its performance as a FIFA World Cup host, it received it in the form of a survey that measured fan experience during the summer event. Some 5,300 were asked to track awareness, favorability and brand associations with Kansas City, and the results reinforced to KC2026 CEO Pam Kramer the region’s ability to outperform expectations. And Kansas City should continue to think big. “It’s not just that more people knew about us, but this narrative of a hidden gem — if we could get people here, if we could show who we are they would see what we know — really came through,” Kramer said. KC2026 commissioned Two Circles, an international sports and marketing business, and different groups of were surveyed five times between January and August. The survey covered area residents, fans from outside Kansas City and international fans from several countries that played or held base camps here: Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Columbia, Ecuador, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Among the highlights: 88% of all attendees were either satisfied or very satisfied with the FIFA Fan Festival at the World War I Museum and Memorial. It peaked at 94% of Kansas City residents and stood
