AFC Richmond makes Raytown its headquarters starting on Saturday.

Crane Brewing Co. is turning its brewery into a “Ted Lasso”-themed pop-up to celebrate the final episode of the season starring Kansas City’s own Jason Sudeikis.

Dubbed “AFC Raytown,” the brewery will offer drinks, decor and activities inspired by the show.
