Kansas City is certainly in the spotlight.
Recently named by Lonely Planet as one of the best cities to visit in 2024, it is also quickly becoming one of America’s sports hubs. A new soccer stadium, the CPKC, will open in 2024, the first stadium in the world built specifically for a professional women’s sports team (Kansas City Current) and will have a capacity of over 11,000 spectators.
Kansas City is known for being an excellent destination for digital nomads. This is because the city’s airport underwent a major renovation and a series of new hotels and bars are being opened along the riverfront.
