KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Wizards and Price Chopper are teaming up once again to present the third annual "Break the Record Night" at Arrowhead Stadium this Saturday, July 16th.

Customers who purchase any of the items listed below can take their store receipt to the Customer Service counter to redeem for a complimentary ticket courtesy of Price Chopper.


Each qualifying product purchase is good for one General Admission ticket for the MLS match-up between the Wizards and Real Salt Lake.
