Missouri and Illinois Have an Open Cup Final Tradition

Sep. 16, 2004

In addition to a long border along the Mississippi River, Missouri - home to the Kansas City Wizards - and Illinois - home to the Chicago Fire - share a long tradition of being the home of the Dewar Trophy for winning the U.S. Open Cup. While the trophy now resides in Oneonta, N.Y. at the National Soccer Hall of Fame, let's take a look back at the teams that brought it to the home states of the teams in the U.S. Open Cup Final in 2004. The Fire and Wizards will face off Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m. CT in Arrowhead Stadium.
