===Kauffman Stadium=== {{main|Kauffman Stadium}} [[File:Kauffman.jpg|thumb|right|Kauffman Stadium]] Kauffman Stadium, home of [[Major League Baseball]]'s [[Kansas City Royals]], opened in early 1973 as Royals Stadium and is located adjacent to Arrowhead. The stadium's name was changed in 1993 to honor Royals founder [[Ewing Kauffman]] just months before his death. Even though the stadium is slightly older than 40 years old, it is the sixth-oldest stadium in MLB, as a result of the construction of a number of new stadiums in the 1990s. It was the only baseball-specific stadium completed from the early 1960s until the early 1990s. It is also one of eight stadiums in Major League Baseball that doesn't have a corporate-sponsored name (the others are [[Yankee Stadium]], [[Fenway Park]], [[Wrigley Field]], [[Oriole Park at Camden Yards]], [[Dodger Stadium]], [[Angel Stadium of Anaheim]], and [[Nationals Park]]). In addition to that, the stadium was the last baseball-only park that was built in the majors (not counting temporary facilities) from 1966 to 1991 and one of the few baseball-only facilities built in the majors during the heyday of the [[Multi-purpose stadium|cookie-cutter stadium]] era, as well as one of two such facilities (alongside [[Dodger Stadium]]) that are still active and were never converted for use as multi-purpose stadiums. Despite its status as a baseball-only park throughout its history, it is one of only two active MLB stadiums (the other being [[Rogers Centre]]) that features symmetrical outfield dimensions, commonly associated with multi-purpose stadiums.
