About Kauffman Stadium

Kauffman Stadium

Kauffman Stadium, home to the Kansas City Royals since 1973, stands as one of baseball's most distinctive venues alongside neighboring Arrowhead Stadium in the Truman Sports Complex. Named for the team's founding owner Ewing Kauffman, the ballpark underwent a major renovation in 2009 that modernized its facilities while preserving its classic charm. With a capacity of nearly 38,000 fans, this Kansas City landmark offers an authentic Midwest baseball experience in a setting that honors both the sport's traditions and the vision of the man who brought Major League Baseball to Missouri.
