Kauffman Stadium Parking Guide Tips, Maps, Deals  

In Kansas City, Missouri, there is a baseball stadium called Kauffman Stadium, sometimes referred to as “The K.” The Major League Baseball team Kansas City Royals call it home (MLB). Together with the nearby GEHA Field, it makes up the Truman Sports Complex at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the National Football League’s Kansas City Chiefs (NFL). 

 Ewing Kauffman, the team’s original owner and creator, is honored by having the ballpark bear his name. Twenty years after it was opened as Royals Stadium, on July 2, 1993, it was renamed in Kauffman’s honor. The ballpark’s stated seating capacity is 37,903 following its most recent significant restoration in 2009.

Guest Ambassadors offer shuttle service for visitors from the parking lots both before and during the game.

 About Kauffman Stadium 

 When Kauffman Stadium was constructed, multisport “cookie-cutter” stadiums were frequently constructed. Kauffman Stadium was created exclusively for baseball. As one of the greatest instances of modernist stadium design, it is frequently compared to Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium (1962), which is also looked up as a model. It is one of nine Major League Baseball stadiums without a corporate name and the only ballpark named after a person in the American League at the moment.

The stadium, which is the sixth-oldest in the majors, has played host to the MLB All-Star Games in 1973 and 2012, as well as home games for the Royals during 1980, 1985, 2014, and 2015 World Series. During a $250 million restoration that took place at Kauffman Stadium between 2007 and 2009, spectator facilities were updated and improved, a new Royals hall of fame section was created, and other improvements were made all throughout the stadium.

The Truman Sports Complex, which replaced the multifunctional Municipal Stadium and included a football stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs and a baseball stadium for the Kansas City Athletics, was built with bond approval from Jackson County voters in 1967. Charles O. Finley, the Athletics’ owner, had recently agreed to a new lease that would keep him in Kansas City. 

 Given that popular thought at the time claimed that separate baseball and football stadiums were not economically feasible, the Truman Sports Complex idea was exceptional. However, Finley relocated the A’s to Oakland, California, and their brand-new multi-purpose stadium before the 1968 campaign.
