The construction costs of the venue, which opened as the Livestrong Sporting Park, were $200 million. It opened with a sold-out Major League Soccer game between Sporting Kansas City and the Chicago Fire, two of the first football clubs from North America with a value of at least $100 million. Sporting Kansas City, nicknamed Wizards, won their first-ever MLS Cup after beating the Chicago Fire in 2000. They won the MLS Cup in front of 39,000 spectators. Sporting Kansas City was founded in 1995 under a different name. It became the first football club from Kansas with 100,000 followers on its main social media page.
