History:
The Kansas City Royals will be playing their 28th season at Kauffman Stadium in 2000. Originally known as Royals Stadium, this ballpark is recognized throughout baseball as one the game's most beautiful. This stadium has had three no-hitters and has played host to the 1973 All-Star Game, 1976, '77, '78, '80, '81, '84, and '85 playoff games and seven World Series tilts in 1980 and 1985. The stadium was renamed in honor of team owner Ewing M. Kauffman in July, 1993. He passed away a month later.
