The building
It stands at Sporting Way, 13 km (7.8 mi) from the centre of Shawnee.
Sporting Park was opened in 2011 and operated by Sporting Kansas City, which puts it at 15 years old.
A stated 25,000 puts this in arena territory: general sessions and keynotes fit, breakouts need somewhere else.

Access and arrival
22 km (14 mi) separates Sporting Park from Kansas City International Airport (MCI) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 13 km (7.8 mi) from the middle of Shawnee — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Shawnee has 7 venues mapped in total and a population of 69,724. The Shawnee guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in Shawnee, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 25,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
The app bill, at this size
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Sporting Park event sized to the stated capacity of Sporting Park. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
