Do you think professional soccer is a viable sport in Kansas?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on May 08, 2006
“Sure. I already see it being popular in Kansas City. I think the fact that kids are interested in it will keep it growing.”
— Mike White, portfolio manager, Lenexa
“I think you can find soccer fans anywhere, and it's getting pretty popular.”
— Levita Bui, Kansas University junior, Lawrence
“I don't think it is yet. I think it will be in the future now that more people are getting into it. It just hasn't been traditionally popular here.”
— Liza Pehrson, sales and marketing, Lawrence
“Yes. If you look at the bigger cities in Kansas, they have large Hispanic populations, and soccer is very popular in Mexico. I think it's their national sport.”
