Drove by Kauffman Stadium today

[KansasForever]

Got off I-70 and drove around the stadium as best as possible.  From a distance the scale of the renovations is pretty staggering.  For example, not only are the exterior concourses much wider now, but they are also largely enclosed.  Practically an entire new facade has been built around the backside of the stadium.  It sort of looks like a spaceship has landed and has halfway swallowed old Kauffman Stadium.  Think Soldier Field, but better executed (at least from a distance). 

There was also the walkaround area being built behind the scoreboard, but that was not as visible or as impressive as the concourse stuff.  Also, they were just beginning to put up the metal framework for what will soon be the new scoreboard crown . . . finally. 

Can't wait for April to eat another colorless gray hot dog again, even though I will be freezing my a$$ off in gale force winds as usual.

Royals official website just doesn't do it justice.  I've been waiting every month for some truly revealing pics of the renovations, but all we ever get are completely contextless shots of brick walls, concrete floors, scaffolding, and construction tarp.  Really sucky photography composition going on by the Royals media department. 

Not a single shot from a quarter mile away showing the whole stadium in its glory like I got right off of I-70 earlier today.  I should have brought my camera.

i wonder how they're going to manage the area where you can walk by the scoreboard, if anyone with a ticket can go back there or if you need to have lower level seats.

Yeah I agree. I check out this website... http://royals.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/02/renovation_photos_the_outfield.html

Most of the time they only show the inside I really haven't gotten a good look of the outside since last season...

[JTKSU]

Probably need to start organizing a katpak to the k.  Probably get some crazy cheap tickets if we buy as a group.

Remember when someone was firing a gun from the interstate into Kauffman during a game?  Luckily there were a lot of empty seats.

In all seriousness, gray cannot be refracted from light, therefore it is not a color.

Back to Kauffman . . .

Are you talking about the ribbon boards?  The ones on the fences or new ones they put in?  I don't know why, but it didn't even seem like Kauffman last year without the crown.  To me that's when the renovations will be officially complete.

Yes.... silly typo. 

And gray is still a color.

And the boys in blue will win 89.

It's not called a non-color TV.  It's called a black and white TV.  Just because someone says a movie is not in color doesn't mean their terminology is correct from a scientific standpoint - kind of like a near-miss in aircraft terminology.
