Royals

Kauffman stadium, home to KC Royals.

See Major League Baseball at Kaufman stadium. Recognized as one of baseball's most beautiful venues for over thirty years, "The K" offers enjoyment for the whole family. All seats offer a wide view of the field. Kids under 32 inches are admitted free with an accompanying adult. Children can experience the feeling of big league action with a visit to the Little K. The miniature-sized interactive ballpark, located beyond right field, gives kids 12 and under a chance to hit one out of the park! In addition, one lucky child is featured live on the JumboTron during each game during the Pepsi Long Ball Challenge. There are also batting cages for the "bigger kids". Sluggerrr, the official mascot of the Royals, provides in-game entertainment for kids of all ages.
