Plaza

This page is for riders who selected the Plaza as their pickup and drop-off location when securing their Stadium Direct pass. Below you will find specific directions, arrival instructions, and transport information to ensure a smooth trip to the stadium.

Location Details

  • Address: 41 Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd., Kansas City, MO 64112
  • Parking Status: No onsite parking available. This is not a park-and-ride location.

 

Getting to the Plaza Hub

Because onsite parking is not permitted at this location, we recommend utilizing alternative transportation to reach the loading area:

  • KC Streetcar: Ride the free KC Streetcar to the Union Hill stop (near 27th Street and Main Street) or the Union Station stop, both just a short, walkable distance from the ConnectKC26 Bus Mall.
  • Region Direct Transit: Avoid the hassle of driving and parking by taking our ConnectKC26 Region Direct service, which travels directly to the FIFA Fan Festival™.
  • Local Transit & Walking: The Plaza is highly pedestrian-friendly and integrated with local public transit routes. Plan your arrival to walk or use local transit lines to reach the loading area.

 

Essential Arrival Steps

To keep transport services moving safely and efficiently, please follow these guidelines:

 

1. Prep Your Passes
