What makes it iconic

  • Crown Vision — a 105-foot-wide HD scoreboard shaped like the Royals' crown logo, the largest of its kind when installed.
  • Iconic fountains and waterfalls beyond the right-center field wall — 322 feet wide of cascading water.
  • Originally Royals Stadium; renamed in 1993 to honor founding owner Ewing Kauffman.
  • Sixth-oldest active MLB park, and one of the few outside the 'retro' era to remain mostly intact.

Notable moments

  • George Brett's pine-tar incident in 1983 — though the game was at Yankee Stadium, the Hall of Famer's career was Kauffman.
  • The 1985 World Series Game 6 — Don Denkinger's missed call helped the Royals comeback against St. Louis.
  • The 2014 Wild Card game — an 8th-inning, three-run rally to beat Oakland in 12 innings.
  • The 2015 World Series title — Kansas City's first since 1985, beating the Mets in five games.

Timeline

  1. 1973

    Royals Stadium opens

    The Royals' fifth season saw them move into a baseball-only park — at a time when most teams were sharing multi-purpose football venues.

  2. 1985

    World Series title

    The Royals beat St. Louis in seven games. Game 6's controversial Don Denkinger call at first base — should have been an out — extended the inning into a Royals rally.

  3. 1993

    Renamed for Ewing Kauffman

    After the death of founding owner Ewing Kauffman, the stadium was renamed in his honor.

  4. 2014

    Pennant run

    The Royals reached the World Series for the first time in 29 years. They lost in seven games to San Francisco — Madison Bumgarner the difference-maker.

  5. 2015

    Title in five

    Kansas City won the World Series for just the second time in franchise history, beating the Mets in five games. Salvador Pérez was MVP.
