While Kauffman Stadium may be the sixth oldest stadium in the Major Leagues, it has remained one of the most picturesque ballparks in all of baseball.

Originally called Royals Stadium, the venue broke away from the multi-purpose, cookie cutter stadiums of the day, and proposed something that was outside of the box thinking. How about building two stadiums virtually across the street from one another? One stadium to house the Royals baseball team and one to house the NFL Chiefs.... What a concept?

This is the in-depth history of a baseball stadium that has stood the test of time and has influenced the way we watch sports live today.
