Kauffman Stadium (Kansas City Royals)

I hate just about everything from this era, but it has good sightlines at least. Poor location though.

With the age of this park and the era when it was built I didn't expect much, but it is a very nice surprise. Very pretty inside, too bad it is out in a field of parking lots as it would look great in a more urban setting. The fountains are wonderful. I enjoyed watching the game here, but who are the players?

Before the real grass, I thought of it as the nicest of the artificial parks, with the waterfall a nice attraction. It was a really tough place for the AL East teams when I was a kid and KC were perennial contenders. Unfortunately, the team has usually been dreadful in recent times, though I think they will actually be pretty decent this year. The grass has really improved the park.

Beautiful and beautiful. The fan can focus on the fun and charm of the stadium and game, the way it was meant to be. The new ballparks are exciting and attractive, but even photos of them are too busy. They look like baseball malls. long live the greatest park of the modern era.

This stadium, along with Wrigley, is the best designed park in baseball. All seats offer great views of the field, and the field and waterfalls are beautiful. Concessions and the like will get a major redesign for 2009 and will make Kauffman again the jewel of baseball. If only the team were as good as the park!

Now that they're finally playing on grass, (what was with artificial turf, you can't grow grass in Missouri?) one of the best parks in the league.

Now is a great park when it went natural grass. The weather in KC in the summer is humid at times, but this is a great park to stretch your legs, lean back and watch a game.

I was there last spring. You walk and cannot believe it's 30 years old. Very nice park. It's better than some of the newer facilities I've been to that are many years it's junior.

This is a nice unique stadium because of the fountains in the outfield, without them the Royals would be need of a new stadium.

The greatest...I would only prefer an experience of Kauffman to Fenway or Wrigley, and that's cause I've never been to those. If a big-market team played in KC, There'd be no question. And it is no cookie-cutter park, considerng it was made around the same time as Three Rivers and Veteran's stadium (30 years ago). It was in all actuality very unique. KC could easily have the best stadiums as a whole in the US (both Kauffman and Arrowhead). Also on Tuesday and Thursday tickets for UD are only $5.50. Try and get into ANY other park for that much! Also, it shouldn't be downtown either, cause KC's downtown isn't like that. It's all business.

I've never been but it's a treat to watch a game there. I've been told it's the best stadium to actaully watch the game. Not too far from the field, flawless sightlines and a meticulously maintained field. Chicago and Boston notwithstanding, it would seem the most knowledgable fans come from KC. Their park is a reflection of that.

One of the most underrated ballparks in the country. This place is a beauty, especially since they ripped out that horrendous artificial turf and replaced it with grass! The fountains are among the most beautiful sights inside any baseball stadium and the crown scoreboard is quite distinctive. Props to this place all the way around. The only baseball stadium built the right way in the '70s.

I've always liked this setup for some reason. It's classy but not too overdone.

Nice place to watch a game. Best cookie cutter stadium ever.

Just a comfortable, beautiful place to watch baseball. No fancy shenanigans, just baseball.

Kauffman is bland in comparison to the newer, yet traditional-style stadiums being built these days. There is not really any interesting style to the architecture, with all the ugly pre-cast concrete and it's plain symmetrical shape. The location is just like the city, in the middle of nowhere. After you look over the fountain in the outfeild (the one good thing) all you see is interstate traffic, and a whole bunch of the typical midwestern landscape (apposed to mountains, an ocean, bay waters, a river, a beautiful downtown, or any of the other veiws that come from the stadiums with good locations). The fans are equally useless. All the slow-paced, tender-skined, fat people of KC show up with half atendance on a weekend night, and cheer less for their team than they do for their mascot, but of corse, he's shooting free food at them. Maybe it's just right for the people of KC: plain team; plain stadium; plain simple midwestern living. You can't blame them for, or stop them from, thinkin... Read more

Second to beauty only to Pac Bell. This place would get more attention if not for the fact that management spends no money and the team sucks because of it. Got even better when they got rid of the turf. What a beauty

Kauffman has nice fountains and it was ahead of its time. So what! It's realy just a big concreate slab with no unique style, especially sitting next to its similarly plain-styled football counterpart. What KC needs is a riverside, downtown, old styled stadium like the ones being built in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. They will be two of the most attractive stadiums anywhere. If either were in KC, it would be a perfect design and fit. Stop thinking Kauffman is so great, and realize that it can be a lot better. WAKE UP KC, REAL CITYS HAVE INNER CITY BALLPARKS! (and while your at it fix up downtown, build a light rail system, get some HWY lights, and quit acting like unchangable hillbillys).

Those waterfalls, that royals-logo-shaped scoreboard...this is the most beautiful baseball stadium in existence. While folks in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are tearing down stadiums just two or three years older than this one, Kauffman Stadium stands the test of time.

ABSOLUTELY GEORGEOUS !

This park would be considered a national treasure if it existed in California or on the East Coast. I hope the Royals never cave in to pressure to build a new stadium with all the latest amenities for the luxury elite, located on some downtown block. They park they already have is as beautiful as any in baseball.
