At the Game

Kauffman Stadium — known locally as The K — opened in 1973 and is one of the few remaining baseball-only parks from that era that still feels purpose-built for the sport rather than compromised by multi-use design. It holds just under 38,000 fans and is set on a large open campus in the Truman Sports Complex alongside Arrowhead Stadium. The fountains and waterfall display beyond the outfield wall are one of the most iconic features in baseball.

The complex sits about 10 miles east of downtown Kansas City, making it a car-dependent destination — public transit options are limited. The tradeoff is abundant, affordable parking and a relaxed approach to the surrounding lot that makes The K one of the better tailgating ballparks in MLB. The stadium itself is well-maintained and fan-friendly, and a new downtown ballpark is planned for Kansas City in the coming years.
