You've Been Saying "Go Royals!" All Wrong? A Deep Dive into Baseball Geography (Spoiler: It's Not Actually in Kansas)
Ah, baseball season. The crack of the bat, the smell of peanuts, the guy in the front row yelling questionable things at the umpire (hopefully not you, that's just rude). But hey, even the most die-hard fans can get a little tripped up on geography sometimes. So, let's settle this once and for all: where in the heck do the Kansas City Royals play?
The Shocking Truth (Spoiler Alert: It's Not a Huge Shocker)
Brace yourselves, baseball fanatics: the Kansas City Royals play in, wait for it... Kansas City!
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
Yes, you read that right. Despite the slightly misleading name, the Royals call Kansas City, Missouri home. They play at the iconic Kauffman Stadium, affectionately nicknamed "The K" by fans. So, you can ditch the mental image of the team playing in a field of wheat out in the middle of nowhere (although, that would be a sight to see).
Fun Fact: A City Divided (By State Lines, That Is)
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
Here's a little bonus geography lesson! Kansas City straddles the border between Missouri and Kansas, hence the "Kansas" in the team's name. So, technically, the Royals could've ended up playing in Kansas, but hey, Missouri won that coin toss (or however they decided this back in the day).
