The Royals have a history of success. They won the World Series in 1985 and American League pennants in 1980 and 1985 under the leadership of George Brett and other favorites. The team's home field, Kauffman Stadium, which opened in 1973 as Royals Stadium, was renamed in 1993 in honor of the founder of the team, Ewing Kauffman. A night at the stadium gets fans in the spirit of the "old ball game" days, with the JumboTron and beautiful fountains, for which Kansas City is known. Admission: USD7-USD27.
