Outdoor Tailgate & Cornhole Tournament

August 9 @ 4:30 pm - 11:59 pm CDT

August 9, 2025 vs. San Diego FC

We’ll have “Rosey’s” Purple Palmer Gin Cocktail, made with Lifted Spirits Bright Gin and Rochester Brewing’s Purple Palmer lavendar and tea syrup, a keg of Boulevard and plenty of Quirk. Stockyards Brewing and Lucky Bucket Brewing have provided canned beer selections for you as well as other local craft beers, selzers, and ciders that the Cauldron has purchased, including several cases of Callsign Brewing as our support in conjunction with the team’s Salute to Service match!

Remember, we’ve never lost a tailgate!

Indoor Tailgates

Indoor tailgates are for current Cauldron Members only. Guest donations cannot be purchased, but you may purchase your 2025 Cauldron Membership 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 2025 KC Cauldron Membership by January 25th, the 2025 Membership scarves were available at the Season Kickoff Party and the first five (5) outdoor tailgates. After that, the remaining scarves were mailed to the address associated with your membership on 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, CMP has had a “no flags during game play” rule that was in place since the stadium opened. That year Sporting allowed Flags during game play in Section 9, Rows 8-12. We are working with Sporting to continue this again for the 2025. It is an evolving project/conversation with the team, so expect to hear more about this throughout the season.
