March 7, 2026 vs. San Diego Waves

We’ll have a Vodka Cocktail made with Lifted Spirits Gin, a keg of Boulevard Pale Ale, and plenty of Quirk.

Stockyards Brewing and Lucky Bucket Brewing have provided canned beer selections for you as well. We’ll also have several can choices purchased from KC Bier Co. as well as other local craft beers, selzers, and ciders purchased from our partner, Bubbles Wine & Spirits!

Remember, we’ve never lost a tailgate!

General Tailgate Information

Outdoor Tailgates

As always we are proud to partner with local Kansas City breweries and distilleries and wish to thank our tailgate partners:

2026 Tailgate Partners​

​We’ll also have a wide selection of other local alcohol (including local craft beers and seltzers) & non-alcoholic drinks available.

As always the tailgate drinks are an included benefit for Cauldron Members, and only a $10 donation for non-members. Wristbands for individual tailgates can now be purchased in advance for ($10) through our Cauldron Store:

Simply purchase the wristband starting the day following the previous match’s tailgate and show the receipt at check-in to receive a single tailgate wristband. Individual tailgate wristbands are also available for purchase at the merch table during outdoor tailgates.

Purchasing a Caudron Membership for $36 is always your best value if your are going to attend more than 2 matches this year. 

Sporting Park Tailgate Location

We’ll be setup in our location IN THE BLUE 2 LOT.

Indoor Tailgates

Indoor tailgates are for current Cauldron Members only. Guest single match wrisbands cannot be purchased on site. However, you may purchase either your 2026 Cauldron Membership or single match wristband with your phone and show us the receipt for your purchase, if you forgot to purchase it in advance.

Membership Cards & Scarves

If you have not yet picked up your membership card, you can do so during any of our tailgates.

For those who purchased their 2026 KC Cauldron Membership by January 23rd, the 2026 Membership scarves are available at the Season Kickoff Party and the first four (4) outdoor tailgates. After that, the remaining scarves were mailed to the address associated with your membership around April 15th.

Stadium Entry

The BBH Tailgates open 30 minutes early for Cauldron Members, have your membership card out and ready to go.

Water

You can bring in an empty soft sided bottle that does not exceed 20 oz. and fill it once inside the stadium. We have collapsible Cauldron water bottles available for purchase in our Store and at outdoor tailgates.

Code of Conduct

In all stadiums around the MLS Supporters Groups are being reminded that we need to follow the Fan Code of Conduct and have good sportsmanship before, during, and after the match.

MLS Fan Code of Conduct

Let’s remember that the mission of The Cauldron is, and always will be, to support Sporting KC. All Cauldron Members and Affiliated ISG’s are reminded to follow the Cauldron Code of Conduct.

Cauldron Code of Conduct

Until 2023, Sporting Park had a “no flags during game play” rule that was in place since the stadium opened. That year, Sporting allowed Flags during the run of play in Section 9, Rows 8-12. We are working with Sporting to continue this again for the 2026 season. It is an evolving project/conversation with the team, so expect to hear more about this throughout the season.
