Messi makes American football explode again

This is the largest crowd, enough to set a new record in the history of the state of Missouri for a football event, replacing other sporting events such as American football, wrestling... which have long been popular in this state. It should also be added that this is also the largest crowd in the MLS for a match with Messi, since the famous player came to the US in July 2023.

American fans' Messi craze has not ended

"This attraction is incredibly amazing and truly overwhelming. Messi, considered the best player of all time, is like an extremely special magnet. Remember, each home match of Sporting Kansas City Club at Children's Mercy Park previously had only about 18,467 spectators. The decision to move to the larger capacity Arrowhead Stadium when hosting Inter Miami was a very wise decision by the Sporting Kansas City Club's leadership. Tickets for the entire match were also sold out in just 15 minutes. Obviously, Messi's effect on American football is too great," emphasized journalist Joe Pompliano, an American sports business analyst.

The main character who made the explosion of American football

According to the US press, of the four major sporting events in the US since the beginning of 2024, two events in the wrestling category, WrestleMania XL Night 1 and Night 2, had a close attendance (72,543 and 72,755 people, respectively) compared to the record of the match between Sporting Kansas City and Inter Miami. Equally interesting, the most anticipated event in 2024 in US sports, the Super Bowl (American football) final on February 12, only welcomed about 61,629 spectators, meaning it lost to the event of Messi and his teammates.

"The Messi effect is not a coincidence. American fans want to come to the stadium to admire the magical football that the 36-year-old Argentinean still devotes to every match. They were truly satisfied, that was an extremely classy goal from a long shot of nearly 30 meters and an assist that only came from Messi's outstanding talent, helping Inter Miami make a spectacular comeback to beat Sporting Kansas City 3-2. It is worth mentioning that witnessing these genius moves, not only Inter Miami fans were happy, but also Sporting Kansas City fans were overwhelmed with happiness. 72,610 spectators at Arrowhead Stadium were amazed by Messi's masterpieces of scoring and assisting. The Messi craze - Messimania continues without knowing when it will end," AS (Spain) expressed.

With 1 goal and 1 assist in Inter Miami's victory over Sporting Kansas City, Messi also made MLS history by becoming the first player to score 5 goals and have 5 assists in the first 5 matches of the season.
