The Royals have called Kauffman Stadium home since 1973. “The K” has served as the Royals’ home venue and provides a great backdrop for fans who attend the game. The iconic fountains make for a fun spectacle when they illuminate from the light; generally, they look quite nice.
The new plans certainly look aesthetically pleasing. But critics, and there were a few of them, dinged the team up for not having the iconic crown logo scoreboard that Kauffman has. Or the lack of parking (granted, many teams with downtown stadiums face similar issues). Overall, though, they’re nifty. It’s a great feature to keep the iconic fountains, which were almost a necessary detail for them to maintain.
All told, we’ll see how this all comes to fruition. Royals fans appeared excited and weren’t the only ones to chime in either.
This is going to be awesome!!! Can’t wait! 💪🏽 https://t.co/7NYQrbASQt
