In Game
It’s only fitting that the ballpark in the City of Fountains has an outfield lined with a 322-foot-long water feature that makes the home of the Kansas City Royals one of the most beautiful stadiums in all of Major League Baseball. Kauffman Stadium is breathtaking and makes the bucket list of just about any baseball fan. You won’t find a more beautiful park in the Major Leagues then Kauffman Stadium making a trip to Kansas City a must for all baseball lovers.
Not only is The K one of the prettiest stadiums in baseball, but it also has a lot to offer both baseball fans and nonbaseball fans alike. Even those of you who aren’t big baseball fans will have a good time taking in a game at Kauffman Stadium where you’ll find lots of other things to keep you entertained including the Outfield Experience and Water Spectacular.
Finally, Royals fans are very friendly, and you’ll have a good time taking in a game alongside diehard fans who suffered through decades of disappointment prior to the Royals recent resurgence.
Things to check out
Hall of Fame
Inside Gate A in the left field is the Royals Hall of Fame, which is home to many great artifacts from the Kansas City Royals history.

Outfield Experience
If you’re going to the stadium with your family, the Outfield Experience is a must. Although it’s geared towards families, there is something for everyone with many things to do such as mini golf and the batting challenge. For the adults, there’s bars/restaurants such as the Budweiser Patio (a fan favorite) and the Pepsi Party Porch.
Water Spectacular
The City of Fountains lives up to its name inside Kauffman Stadium with a massive 322-foot-long fountain structure that dances and sprays water up to twelve stories high. Take a video of the Water Spectacular as you won’t want to miss this one of a kind stadium feature.

Friends in Low Places
This Garth Brooks hit has been played in the sixth inning at Kauffman Stadium since 2008
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you’d see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you’ll never hear me complain‘Cause I’ve got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I’ll be okay
I’m not big on social graces
Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I’ve got friends in low placesWell, I guess I was wrong
I just don’t belong
But then, I’ve been there before
Everything’s all right
I’ll just say goodnight
And I’ll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn’t mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I’ll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you’re livin’ in‘Cause I’ve got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I’ll be okay
I’m not big on social graces
Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I’ve got friends in low places[3rd Verse:]
I guess I was wrong
I just don’t belong
But then, I’ve been there before
And everything is alright
I’ll just say goodnight
And I’ll show myself to the door
I didn’t mean to cause a big scene
Just wait ’til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I’ll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass -
