I'd try to get a job at the Truman Sports Complex as a food vendor. I did that from 1982-88 (high school and college). You get paid commission, somewhere around 20% of your sales. They pretty much hire anyone. You start off low on the seniority list, so you don't get the pick of the best jobs (i.e. you might have to sell Cokes in the upper deck of a cold April game), but even on the worst nights, you make more through commission than the minimum wage. If you don't, you get minimum wage for that night. Generally, you'd work from about half-hour before game time until the 7th-inning stretch, about 3 hours a night.
It's a great job. You make lots of money; you earn more the harder you work; it's interesting, and you get to see a lot of the games.
The Royals season has 80 home games; the Chiefs have a few games in the Summer/Fall and, now that I think about it, I guess the Wiz probably has a lot of games also. Still, the schedules work out so that you can squeeze in a day job as well.
