Getty ImagesOur venue today Getty ImagesArrowhead StadiumThis is one to confuse travelling fans from around the world: the Kansas City metro area straddles the Kansas/Missouri state line, but the main hub is Kansas City, Missouri. But do not confuse that with Kansas City, Kansas. Got it? Me neither.Either way, we know where matches will be played and there is a slice of history as Arrowhead Stadium, usually home to NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, is the oldest stadium at this World Cup.It has a capacity of a little more than 76,000 and has not hosted a competitive football match since 2001, so round-ball football or soccer makes a welcome return. And yes, for FIFA purposes the venue is officially called Kansas City Stadium for the duration of the tournament.
