Plan Your Visit to Kauffman Stadium

How do I arrive and where can I park?

The ballpark occupies the same complex as Arrowhead Stadium; follow signs specifically for Kauffman Stadium and do not use a parking pass or directions intended for football games. Accessible parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis in designated spaces when you display a valid disability placard or license plate. After the game, rideshare and taxi pickups are organized in Lot A; coordinate your pickup location with your driver and follow staff guidance on site, as traffic patterns may change depending on the event.

What bag and item policies apply at the gate?

Security screening permits one clear bag measuring up to 12 × 12 × 6 inches or a single one-gallon clear resealable plastic bag. Always check the stadium's latest security guidelines before your visit, as exceptions and updates may apply. You may bring individual portions of food inside a clear plastic bag up to one gallon, along with one sealed, unfrozen plastic water bottle of one liter or less per person. Hard-sided coolers and outside alcohol are not allowed, though medical accommodations exist; if you need an exception for health reasons, contact Guest Services in advance.

How does seating and stadium layout work?

Your ticket shows the level, section and seat assignment, which together guide you to your spot in the ballpark. The venue does not allow general re-entry once you leave; emergency situations that require an exception must be approved by stadium management or Guest Services. Accessible seating sections include companion spaces, and elevators connect different levels of the stadium. If you need help with seating location or mobility assistance, Guest Services can clarify exact sections and arrange courtesy shuttle support for guests who need it.

What accessibility services and resources are available?

Kauffman Stadium offers accessible seating with companion options, elevators throughout the facility, family restrooms and a range of assistance services. Guests who benefit from sensory support can request noise-reducing headphones and other sensory resources; the venue's access guide lists these amenities, and Guest Services can direct you to exact locations. To plan accommodations in advance, email [email protected] or call 816-504-4204. Courtesy shuttles assist guests who need mobility help moving around the complex, and accessible parking is available first-come in marked spaces when you display the appropriate placard or plate.

Where can I find food and beverages?

Concession stands are distributed across the ballpark, with menus and locations that vary by area. The stadium operates as a cashless venue; ordinary bank ATMs have been removed, but reverse ATMs let you exchange cash for a prepaid payment card if needed. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, speak directly with concession staff rather than relying on posted menus alone, and review the current food guide before ordering. Baby-changing tables are provided in restrooms throughout the facility.

How should I manage my tickets and stay connected?

The MLB Ballpark app stores your digital tickets and parking credentials, so a charged mobile device simplifies entry and lot access. Download the app and add your tickets before you leave home to avoid connectivity issues at the gate. The app also displays your exact seat location and can help you navigate the stadium. Keep the ticket and parking confirmation easy to retrieve as separate documents. Confirm your game date before setting off, especially when the Royals have several consecutive home games against the same opponent. The official game page is the place to check schedule updates before traveling.
