Simone Biles is often referred to as the GOAT (greatest of all time) in women’s gymnastics, so it’s no coincidence that she is the star of the Gold Over America Tour (GOAT) that will stop in Kansas City on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

Biles, who has won seven Olympic gold medals — including three at the Paris Games in summer 2024 — will lead an entourage of U.S. gymnasts for an exhibition that promoters describe as a “pop concert-style spectacle” at the T-Mobile Center.

Among other Paris medal winners expected to perform are women’s team members Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera and men’s team members Paul Juda, Brody Malone and Frederick Richard.

Here’s what you need to know if you plan to attend.

When and where will Gold Over America be held?

The event will begin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16, at the T-Mobile Center, 1407 Grand Blvd.

How much does it cost?

Ticket prices range from $30 to $500. As of Tuesday, Oct. 8, plenty of seats remained, but no VIP packages were available and floor seating was limited.

Where can I park?

On-site parking in the red lot at 12th and Oak streets and the yellow lot at 13th Street and Grand Boulevard can be reserved through the T-Mobile Center website for $20-$150.

Otherwise, there are many paid lots downtown, and you might be able to find free street parking.

Other things to know
