Residents, staff and family members are invited to Kansas City’s Kauffman Baseball Stadium to watch the Royals take on the Cleveland Indians at 7:05 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. Transportation on a chartered 56-passenger bus departs from the visitor parking area by Prairie Star Patio at 1 p.m. (please arrive by 12:30 p.m.). Upon arrival at the stadium, we will set up a tailgate supper catered by Prairie Star Restaurant, including wraps, sandwiches, chips and dip, salads, fruit, water and soda. Attendees should bring lawn chairs, coolers with adult beverages, tailgating games, cash for food/drinks inside the stadium (Sept. 25 is Buck Night! All hot dogs and peanuts are only $1!) and snacks for the ride home. Plates and silverware will be provided. Adult beverages are permitted and can be transported in the storage area under the bus.

Registration for the event is open. Interested staff and residents can sign up in the Blue Book at the Hospitality Desk. Please include your phone number, indicate whether you are a resident or staff member and your method of payment. The cost for the trip is $30 per person, which includes your ticket, transportation and tailgate supper. There is a limited amount of tickets available and registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Cancelations need to be made by Thursday, Sept. 17, for full reimbursement. Cost of the event can be paid via cash, check, credit card or can be charged to your monthly statement.

Departure from the stadium to return home will be contingent on when the game ends, but we expect to return around midnight. Please contact Monte Spiller, Resident Services Leader, at 323-3801 or Sarah Duggan, Community Relations Director, at 323-3860 with questions.
