Kauffman Stadium

Part of a sports complex that includes Arrowhead Stadium (home of the NFL Chiefs), Kauffman Stadium is one of the most fan-friendly arenas in professional sports. Beyond the fence in right field is a 322-foot-wide fountain, the largest privately funded waterworks in the world, that features lighted cascades between innings. Beyond the fence in left field is a 30-by-40 foot Sony JumboTron video display board that was the largest in the United States when installed in 1990. Of the stadium’s 40,625 seats, over half (20,316) are on the lower level of the three-tiered park. In 1995 the Royals replaced their Astroturf field with natural grass. During 1999 and 2000 the team replaced all of the old red seats with dark blue seats. They also added dugout suites, the Crown Club and the Royal Pavilion.
