Royals
Kauffman Stadium · Kansas City, MO
Kauffman Stadium sits in the Truman Sports Complex with a real parking footprint. More lot-friendly than most MLB parks — still confirm what you can cook, and do not copy Arrowhead rules.
Must see / do
Around the park
- Truman Sports Complex lots are the spine — same neighborhood as Arrowhead, different sport rules.
- Fountains and the K skyline are the photo stop after you park.
Before first pitch
- Parking is purchased in advance and shown in the MLB Ballpark app at the tollgates.
- 2026 World Cup parking shifts at the complex — Lots E/D and parts of G/F/C can be closed; the large Tailgate Lot moved from Lot N to Lot L. Confirm the Royals parking page week-of.
On the lot
- Tailgating is allowed behind your own vehicle only — not in a parking space as a setup zone, and not blocking drive lanes.
- Saving spaces and buying extra spaces just to tailgate are prohibited. Larger groups may be directed to Lot L.
- Guests are asked to enter the game or leave the complex beginning in the 2nd inning. Lots close one hour after the event.
