KANSAS CITY -- Kauffman Stadium remains a gorgeous place to watch a ballgame.
Sunk into a sea of asphalt in Jackson County, Missouri, some things at The K have changed since it opened in 1973: the name, the color of the seats, the spaces beyond the outfield walls. Essential parts remain: the fountains, the crown-shaped scoreboard, the upsloping green of the hills that give the home of the Kansas City Royals the most pastoral feel of any Major League Baseball venue.
The K is situated in the Truman Sports Complex, next to Arrowhead Stadium, where the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs have played since 1972.
