Royals What Ballparks Have You Been To?

Or if you’re not a big baseball person, what other arenas have you attended for an event?

I’ll get us started with ballparks…

KC: Royals/Kauffman Stadium: first one I can sorta remember was in 1979. Still have a pennant from that year. 1979-2024

NYC/Bronx: Old/New Yankee Stadium: went to 7 games between the two ballparks and never saw the Royals win one game. 0fer 7. 2005-2016

NYC/Queens: Shea/Citifield: Shea was a toilet. Citifield is pretty good. Got to see game 5. 2005-2021

Baltimore: Camden Yards: great place. Softshell crab sandwiches. $40 seats three rows behind home plate. Good fans. Caught a bp Moustakas homer as I was inspecting the warehouse plaques. Royals won. Gordon went yard. 2013

Cincinatti: Old Riverfront: Ted Power got our family tix. He gave up a leadoff first pitch home run to Barry Bonds, but the Reds came back to win. 1987

Texas: Old Arlington Stadium: Don’t remember much except the park was horrible and we cooked for six innings before getting the hell outta there. 1984

Los Angeles: Dodgers Stadium: went to a few games there. Nothing exceptional about the park. Dodger dogs are overrated. Takes FOREVER getting in or out of that joint. 2000-2004.

Minneapolis: Metrodome: went to a few games there. Hamelin hit a moon shot to right. 1994-2006

Anaheim: Angel Stadium: only went once. Royals lost. Nothing stands out about the joint. It was hot. 2001.

St. Louis: Old Busch Stadium: went to a few games. Cool seeing Ozzie flip to start the game. And Donovan Osborne hit a grand slam at another game I attended. Place went ****ing bananas as he was the starting pitcher. 1982-2006

Pittsburgh: PNC Park: this place is a gem. Royals won both games I attended. Fireworks on the river after the Friday night game. Good fans. Good food options. 2024

Houston: Enron/Tropicana? Can’t remember if Enron was still in business…. My band was on tour and we had an extra night in Houston to hang so we went to a game. It was a blur due to being on tour, but we had a good time. I do remember the hot dogs being really effing good. Opened the roof in the 7th after the stretch. 2003

Detroit: Comerica: Greinke was pitching and he had a bad game. My only real weekend while working on a movie in Michigan. Nice ballpark. Good fans. 2010

Atlanta: Turner Field: on vacation with my then gf. Her brother drove us. Took forever getting into that place. Nothing very memorable. Though if you walked to a part of the parking lot, they had a piece of Fulton County stadium where Aaron hit his 755th. 2006

Denver: Mile High Stadium: tix were $3. I think there was something like 60,000 at the game. Few older buddies got me drunk. It was fun. 1993

I think that’s it for ballparks? Gonna visit Seattle in a couple months, so I’ll get that one crossed off my list soon.
