The Copa America 2024 schedule includes only one match at Arrowhead Stadium, but it is one of the group stage matches featuring the home side United States, so it is important that you buy tickets for the USA vs Uruguay match as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be able to secure your place at the match.

Also keep in mind that Arrowhead Stadium is one of the most iconic sporting venues in the USA, but it is also a very large stadium, so if you have no budget restrictions, choose the lower sections, as they will offer you a closer view of the pitch. If you want to save money, you can, on the other hand, choose the upper tier of the stadium.

On match days, the area around the stadium is often crowded due to the large number of visitors, as Arrowhead Stadium has a capacity of 76,000, so it is advisable to arrive early. Also consider that the stadium is located far from downtown Kansas City. And if you can't get tickets, you can opt to try to get seats at another venue nearby, such as Children's Mercy Park, which is located in Kansas City but not in Missouri, but in the state of Kansas.

Not only will Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri host a single match during the Copa America, limiting your chances of getting tickets for the USA vs. Uruguay match, but the USA will also be playing there, so the home crowd will be demanding many of the seats for this Group C match.

However, if you can't get tickets, don't be discouraged, because you can opt for another venue nearby. Kansas State will host another Copa America match at Children's Mercy Park. There, you can enjoy Group A tickets for Peru and Canada. The match will take place on 25 June, at 5pm.

Children's Mercy Park is about a 25 minute drive from Arrowhead Stadium and can be easily reached by public transport, so if you buy tickets for the Peru match, the logistics should not be complicated. This stadium can only hold 18,000 spectators, so you'll need to hurry to get your tickets. Also, Children's Mercy Park is the home stadium of Sporting Kansas City, one of the founding teams of MLS.
