Loading ...The renovations being completed at the Kauffmann Stadium over the next year will make the stadium experience like visiting a brand new stadium, according to Kansas City Royals Senior VP Kevin Uhlich.
Most of the work is expected to be completed in 2009, under the auspices of HOK Sport, a leading sports architecture firm. The capacity once all work has been completed will be 32,000. MLB.com reported on the work being undertaken at the stadium:
The tunnel — Workers are building a tunnel where the large dirt mound stands behind the bullpen in right field. This tunnel will lead into the stadium from the walkway behind the outfield once the construction is complete.
The restaurant - Tentatively called Rival’s, this bar and grill restaurant will be past the seats in right field.
Fountain seating - In 2009, fans will be able to sit beyond the outfield walls in left and right field.
Hall of Fame - Two separate floors will make up this building beyond the left-field fences.
New Concourses/Concessions/Landscaping - Fans should already be able to see the construction of wider concourses on the east side of the stadium, the side nearest right field. When the season is over, construction crews will work on the current concourses to complete this part of the renovation.
Diamond Club - This will be a new section for the 900 ticket holders who have seats behind home plate.
