Family tours the new Kauffman Stadium
Family tours the new Kauffman Stadium
By: Corey
Last Spring, our mom signed me and my brother up for the Blue Crew for the Royals. In the package that we received 2 weeks later was Gift Certificates to Dicks Sporting Goods, Denney’s, and there were four tickets to go on a tour of Kauffman Stadium.
My dad, sister, brother, and I went on the tour and when we got there we were miserable. Because we had to wait in the ticket room because the tour guide was so slow and forgot about the 10:00 tour. So, the security guard went and reminded the Tour Guide that there was a tour and she came out and took us into where the announcer sits during the games and we saw the microphone that he uses to talk all over the whole stadium. Then, she took us to the George Brett room. That’s where people sit during games and they can eat as much food as they possibly can and still have a good view of the field. Then, we went into the Hall of Fame. They have a display case that has George Brett, Dick Howser, and Frank White’s Jersey in it. The next room had a video that played about the history of the Royals. Then, they had a whole room of display cases of Score Cards of games. Next, we went to the Outfield Experience that has a little field for kids that want to play during games, a 9 hole Mini Golf Course, a kids gift shop, a Carousel, and a lot more fun stuff. Then, the tour guide took us down to the Royals dugout. The dugout was my favorite part when we got to go out onto the field. Then, the people spraying down the seats got us soaked. Next, we went into the Interview room where the team manager goes and gets interviewed after the games. After that, she took us through the Gift Shop and we got a Royals Yearbook with game stats, posters, and other stuff talking about the 2009 season. Then, we walked out the door and went to the car. On the way to the car, my dad found a 20 dollar bill in the parking lot next to our car. We got in the car and went home.
