They’re ready to unleash a slew of new merchandise at the team store at Kauffman Stadium at the end of tonight’s game.
But you won’t need to be at the game to be among the first to buy new fan gear, should the Royals clinch their fourth World Series berth in franchise history.
Several stores will stay open late Friday and open early Saturday to sell merchandize celebrating the Royals as (fingers crossed) winners of the American League Championship Series.
Among them, Dick’s Sporting Goods, whose stores will stay open for an unspecified amount of time after the game and then reopen at 7 on Saturday morning, two hours ahead of normal.
