Sean and Chris, the Executive VP of Operations.  He organizes the introduction of Soldiers and gave Sean a coin.

 

 

The team was warming up so close!  Cullen was in awe!

Being introduced onto the field before the National Anthem.

Cullen was nervous and told us he was going to be embarrassed. :)

Sold out crowd.

This blog is about a month late now.... Sporting KC recognizes one child with cancer and one military family each home game.  Our brother in law, Josh passed along our names to Chris at Sporting KC, as a local military family that could be recognized.  Chris contacted us right away and we were on the field a few weeks later.  It was a lot of fun! 

We were able to eat in the fancy VIP area.  The boys downed as many Cherry Coke's and Shirley Temples as they could.  Then we headed onto the field sideline to watch the players warm up.  Cullen was in awe!  He didn't talk much and would take his eyes off of them. :)  Chris presented us with the scarves to wear and gave Sean the military coin.  Then just before the game the announcer introduced the kid with cancer and his family up in the box seats.  Then we walked out onto the field and the announcer announced our names and Sean's bio.  It was pretty exciting and nice to hear the crowd cheer.  :)

We then headed back into the VIP area to get more drinks before we headed to our seats.  Chris was kind enough to give tickets to my parents and the Anderson's.  Courtney and Josh came over and sat with us too.  It was so much fun!  It was such a fun night and a great memory, thanks again Josh!!
