Sports in Kansas City
The Kansas City Metropolitan Area has a long history of sports, which has included national championship teams and championship title events.
==Major professional teams==
Kansas City has had teams in all five of the major, professional sports leagues; three major league teams remain today. The Kansas City Royals of Major League Baseball became the first American League expansion team to reach the playoffs (1976), to reach the World Series (1980), and to win the World Series (1985; against the state-rival St. Louis Cardinals in the "Show-Me Series"). They did not make the playoffs again until 2014, falling in seven games to the San Francisco Giants. The Royals would return to the postseason again in 2015, where they defeated the New York Mets in five games, clinching the title with a 7-2 win in 12 innings.
Since moving to the city in 1963, the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFL title in 1966, ultimately losing Super Bowl I to the Green Bay Packers, and again in 1969 as the last ever AFL champion, en route to their only Super Bowl win. They won Super Bowl IV against the Minnesota Vikings, 23-7.
Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer plays its home games at Children's Mercy Park, formerly named Sporting Park. Kansas City has won the MLS Cup twice — first in 2000 by defeating the Chicago Fire 1–0, and next in 2013 by beating Real Salt Lake at Sporting Park. Kansas City has won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup three times — first in 2004 by beating the Chicago Fire, next in 2012 by beating the Seattle Sounders at Sporting Park and again in 2015 by beating the Philadelphia Union. The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is named for Lamar Hunt, the owner of the Dallas Texans AFL franchise that moved to Kansas City and were renamed as the Chiefs.
