About Kauffman Stadium...

Kauffman Stadium is part of the Truman Sports Complex which holds Arrowhead Stadium.  It opened in 1973 in the age of cookie-cutter stadiums being built around the country.  A major renovation in 2009 reduced the seating capacity to around 38,000 and opened up wider concourses as well as fountain view terraces.

Kauffman Stadium was home to the 2012 MLB All-Star Baseball Game.
