Sporting Kansas City has entered into a partnership with Core Equipment, appointing the company as the official tailgating partner for the 2025 Major League Soccer season. This collaboration brings together two local brands, aiming to enhance the fan experience during tailgating events.

Core Equipment, known for its outdoor equipment and recreation gear, has created a limited edition Sporting Kansas City Climakeep cooler. This product is customized with the team's colors, logo, and design elements. It is available at SportingStyle retail stores at Children’s Mercy Park and online at SportingStyle.com for gameday pickup or CoreEquipment.com with free shipping on orders over $50. In celebration of this launch, Core is offering a 30% discount on the cooler until July 4.

Fans of Sporting Kansas City have an opportunity to participate in the “Keep the Tailgate Going” sweepstakes. The prize includes a unique Core cooler filled with team merchandise, four tickets to an upcoming home match, and $100 in Sporting Pay balance for use at stadium concession stands or retail stores.

The Climakeep cooler can hold up to 18 cans and features MagSnap technology with a magnetic seal lid. It also includes HYPERCOLD insulation using high-density EVA foam and reflective PET film for optimal ice retention. Designed to be durable, it floats in water and boasts a leakproof watertight seal, waterproof zippers, and reinforced fabrics.

Core Equipment operates out of Overland Park, Kansas as part of Insight 2 Design's brand family. The company recently marked its tenth anniversary in designing gear aimed at making outdoor experiences more comfortable and accessible.
