Went to a Royals game last night. Got some great tickets. They have a sweet weekday play pack where you get 4 tickets down the left field line plus each ticket comes with $5 in “extra value” to use towards concessions or memorabilia AND it comes with unlimited access to the new “outfield experience” where kids can hit on the “Little K Field” and run the bases, they have a speed pitching booth, they have a live batting cage, a place to run from a real first to second, plus they have a mini golf course that is baseball/Royals themed, a carosel and a little playground all in the outfield behind the fountains.

Now, if you remember Kauffman at all, you should remember that the outfield behind the fountains was blocked off … now, they have seating integrated within the fountains with a walkway all the way around the out field. They also used to have two megatron boards. Now they have removed both and replaced with a massive single video board with the crowns on top. New video boards around the ring of the seats and even new video boards lining the outfield fence.

It’s a great new renovation. Very nice. I also got some video of the stadium.

Taylor’s game wasn’t as hot (only mid-90’s), but Jordan’s game was brutal – 104!!! You can see in the last photos how red and hot his face got … and then he got blue Gatorade and a blue popsicle which made his mouth and lips blue with his red face … he looked bad. It was as much fun as you can have playing T-ball in 100 degree weather.
