Hopefully Action…

The lights were on here at Kauffman Stadium at 4:30 am this morning for last minute work to prepare for the big day. Cameras from every Kansas City area television station were here providing live shots from a peaceful empty stadium ready to jump back to life this afternoon.

We did have a significant downpour here at the ballpark around 7:30am, but it seems to be slacking off and the forecast calls for a spectacular afternoon (knock on wood) – perhaps a bit windy come game time.

 

Kauffman Stadium is as beautiful as ever and everyone here with the Royals is excited to welcome back 40,000 of a closest friends for the start of season 42 of Kansas City Royals Baseball. Gates open at Noon – be sure to join us early and make your way to your seats for pre-game ceremonies featuring some very special guests. Then at 3:10 Zack Greinke – the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner – will take the mound to get the season underway.

There are few days of the year that compare to the anticipation and excitement of Opening Day. If you can’t join us be sure to listen to the Royals Radio Network or watch on FS Kansas City.

Happy Opening Day – Let’s get a win!
