KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Over 9,000 fans gathered at Power & Light last weekend for the 11th edition of Premier League Mornings Live, a College Gameday-esque show for English Premier League soccer in the United States.
The show, held at KC Live! by NBC Sports, on Saturday, Sept. 20, and Sunday, Sept. 21, was in Kansas City for the first time.
“This was my first time at a Premier League Mornings Live fan fest and I loved every second of it,” said former England striker Jermain Defoe. “The fans in Kansas City are incredible. The energy, the singing, the shirts — it really felt like a matchday in England.”
