In new design, Liberty Corn Maze pays tribute to Sporting KC

The maze, which is still growing, features the Sporting KC logo in the center and has images of four generic soccer players in each corner, Raasch said. At the bottom of the maze it reads “2013 MLS Champs.” The maze was designed by MazePlay of Firth, Idaho.
