Kauffman Stadium

Pros: General admission is cheap and fun.
Cons: parking and food prices

First a pet peeve -- The stadium name is Kauffman, not "the K". If this is too difficult a name to pronounce or spell, then maybe the "great ones" in Kansas City should have named it something else. Please forgive Mr. Kauffman (who the stadium was...

Pros: Great seating
Cons: Food prices

This past Father's Day I got the opportunity to take my husband and father-in-law to Kauffman Stadium to watch the Royals take on the Oakland A's. If you keep up with baseball you'll already be aware of the fact that it was a sad day for Royals...

Pros: Good prices. Good views. Good looking place. Great atmosphere.
Cons: Not always great fans.

Kauffman (formerly Royals) Stadium has undergone many changes in the last decade or so, and almost a ...

Pros: Great View, Every Seat Is A Good Seat
Cons: Food is still a little pricey

Since the Royals have been in kind of a slump for the last couple of years, I haven't made much effort to get out to games at Kauffman Stadium (affectionately known as "the K" by anyone in Kansas City under 50) until late last season. I had...

Pros: nice, clean, enjoyable atmosphere
Cons: none, really

Ah, Kansas City. Epicenter of the beef world, home of great steaks, good BBQ sauce, and Royals baseball. Kauffman Stadium is the gem that houses the latter, in my opinion one of the most underrated stadiums in the league.

When I lived in...

Pros: food, comfy seats, parking access
Cons: poor sportsmanship.

The ballpark here is pretty average -- it actually reminds me a lot of Yankee Stadium. The seats are comfortable, parking plentiful, access easy and the mascot is funny (a plus!). What I liked was that the food reflected Kansas City -- there was a...

Pros: Seating, food, atmosphere
Cons: Bringing the fences in. I KNOW that's industry standard now, but I miss inside the park home runs!

I'll admit I'm a huge baseball fan, and I am a tried and true Royals Lover. I stick with my guys through thick and thin. I have been rewarded for my loyalty with winning seasons (including a World Series victory), batting champions, and Rookies' of the...

Pros: Beautiful park,,, great fans...
Cons: A little out of the way!

Kaufman Stadium is the only great ballpark built in the 1970's...

Like most 70's parks, it is very clean and started with an Astroturf field... but that is all that Kaufman Stadium has with the rest...

The plastic turf is thankfully...

Pros: Getting out to the ballgame!!
Cons: High prices for concessions.

Living near Kansas City, my husband and I frequent the ballpark, home of the Royals, during the season. Even though they have been doing very poorly the last couple of years, it's still really enjoyable. First of all, it is located at the corner of 3...

Pros: Beautiful background, fountains, stands are nicely configured.
Cons: Anyone can easily get baked by the sun, weird outfield dimensions.

Kauffman Stadium by far is one of the best ballparks in the major leagues. I prefer night games because the sun is down and the view of the fountains is spectacular. The best seats in the house are located behind home plate(of course!) where there is...

Pros: Clean, modern facility.
Cons: Typical small seats.

The first Major League game I ever saw was in Kauffman, so it has a special place in my heart. I really didn't know what to expect. I was very happily surprised.

First things first, tickets are not expensive, good seats are about $18, and...

Pros: great for families, prices/parking, hot dog launcher
Cons: bland building and field, unenthusiastic crowd

Don't get me wrong. I like Kauffman Stadium. I like the people there and the atmosphere. I have nothing against the Royals. But except for the home run fireworks, Kauffman Stadium is a very sterile, bland place. There's nothing amazing about it....

Pros: simply beautiful
Cons: like most stadiums..the bathrooms arent great

I realize I am from the area...and I have only been to 3 stadiums in my life, but The K is a heck of a place to watch a game. Despite a consistant losing record, I never get tired of going to the K to see a game. Win or lose, the experience is great.In...

Pros: Beautiful, cheap, relaxing, Excellent fans
Cons: Team stinks, city is kind of boring

I'm on a personal quest to see MLB games at every park. I think I'm at 17 so far. This past summer I made a Missouri venture and saw both the Royals and the Cardinals. Kauffman stadium is most definitely in the upper half of ballparks I have visited. ...

Pros: Cheap tickets, seats available at game day.
Cons: Food cost

I first got to the Kansas City area a few years ago and decided to spend some time watching major league baseball. I had been to several stadiums before getting to Kauffman, but none were like Kauffman. One of the most intriguing aspects of Kauffman ...
