Fans foresee end to tailgating if Kansas City Royals move downtown

Kansas City Royals fans are bracing for another anticipated change, this one dealing with a future venue change.

Move downtown and risk your fan base. As big cities become more violent, how exciting to take your family to a life risking event. Kaufman stadium is a safe place but hey what is life with our taking unnecessary risks. Chiefs can’t even have a parade without violence. Viva America!

It needs to move, I was visiting out of town and the area around the stadium was shit

tailgating is old, outdated and shows a lack of anything else to do

[willcorker]

People don't tailgate for 81 games. I would guess less than 3% of fans going to the game outside of opening day are tailgating beforehand

Royals Stadium is a 1 of a kind stadium, and next to Arrowhead! Mean plenty of parking, Beautiful View, Easy Access! if they build downtown, i promise you that there will be MORE crime, LESS Parking, and FEWER Fans! FC*& you Royals Owner!

hmmm opening day in kc. the only game that can draw at least 15, 000 fans.

Anyplace but downtown KC. As Hank Williams Jr sings in Country Boy Can Survive, "you only get mugged when you go downtown." With a Marxist undertone in KC and "wokeism" as pervasive in downtown as jacked-up, angry drivers, the game of baseball deserves open breathable spaces where fans will not be mugged when they come outside of a game. This new stadium idea sounds like an 'insider job" somehow to prop up the value of some piece of real estate a connected few purchased at deep discount prices to sell to govt. pork "owner" spending.

Royals fans don't want any pirate-like service taxes or sales taxes or extortionist parking charges that have made KC another Marxist colony where illusions of more taxation of the "tourists" will benefit the decaying city of KC. Treat tourists better to the city, make KC a tax-free zone, eliminate all hotel taxes on business and tourists, and create a Steve Forbes-like entrepreneurial zone in KC to address the pirates and Marxist ghouls rampant in the city now, Why isn't the owner of the Royals using his business skills to school the Marxist in downtown KC that customers are tired of head games and downtown wokeism leading to dystopia. Keep the stadium in the open air and spacious skies not polluted with downtown Marxist wokeism. Oh, and please spend more time finding power hitters so the Royals can regain their prestige. Just a small incidental thing I know, thought the owner might be interested in feedback from a fatigued "fan."
