So, I got curious about how many people Kauffman Stadium can hold. You know, the home of the Kansas City Royals. I’ve been there a few times, and it’s a pretty big place, but I never really knew the exact number. So, I went digging.
First, I just did a quick search, and it came up with a bunch of stuff. Turns out, it’s called Kauffman Stadium now, but it used to be called Royals Stadium when it first opened in 1973. Some dude named Ewing Kauffman, who started the Royals, got it named after him in 1993. I even read that the Royals as a team started playing in 1969. So they’re not super old, but they’ve been around for a while.
After sifting through some websites, I found that Kauffman Stadium’s official seating capacity is 37,903. That’s a lot of people! Apparently, they did some big renovations back in 2009, and that’s the number they came up with.
- One source mentioned that the biggest crowd ever was 41, so that must have been before all the renovations.
- They also talked about how it’s a “modern stadium” with “excellent views.” I guess that’s true. I remember always being able to see the game pretty well, no matter where I sat.
So, there you have it. Kauffman Stadium can fit 37,903 fans. It’s a good-sized stadium, and it sounds like they keep it updated. I’d say it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re ever in Kansas City and want to catch a Royals game.
