Kansas City Royals/Kauffman Stadium

Kansas City is in one of the American League's smallest market, yet the Kansas City Royals are a successful franchise.  The Stadium has gained the  reputation of being on of the most fan-friendly stadiums in professional sports.  Behind right field there is a 322 foot wide fountain, which is the largest privately funded waterworks in the world.  This fountain provides a lighted cascade
show between innings.   On the left field there is a 30 by 40 foot Sony JumboTron video display board so that you would miss a moment of the action.  You can catch the score on the 12-story high scoreboard with its 16,320 light bulbs, most of them on the 40 by 60 foot screen.
