Yeah I am not sure where Saul gets the idea that tailgating doesn't happen for more than 13 people at the games. Everytime I have ever been there always large groups of people cooking and playing tailgate games such as catch or bean bag toss.

And it will only increase if the franchise puts a winning product on the field.

You do a lot of that on Tuesday evening games, huh?

You spend a lot of time hanging out in a bar after 10pm on a Tuesday?

Nicely played, sir.

Not at all. If I'm leaving work at 4:30 or 5:00 and hitting a 7:05 game, I want to be able to go somewhere near the stadium to have a decent meal or grab a drink.

If I'm entertaining someone for business, the Royals game doesn't even enter the discussion. I go to games in Saint Louis for "business" meetings when I'm there because there is plenty to do before and after the game. I actually spend my money in the surrounding area. Imagine that.

So we want to bring people who aren't even focused on the game but rather some business dealings?

Sorry, I go to games for the games. I don't need the experience watered down by a bunch of suits talking about their next merger or litigation.

I do not see how the two are mutually exclusive. We are not allowed to bring the party from the lot into the stadium, so might as well have a party waiting inside for us.

I do not see why those options have to be only for the suit types. That is just elitist thinking.

We as Royals fans are definitely one of the best groups, especially considering the poor play of the team for so long. Perhaps a reason is because the people that go are there because they ARE fans and not just there to be shown a good time or sucked up to by business parters.

If I'm leaving work at 4:30 or 5:00 and hitting a 7:05 game, I want to be able to tailgate in the parking lot and grill my food and have a few drinks. The current stadium provides that wonderfully.

If there's one thing people in Kansas City love, it's a huge parking lot.

This.

I like the new Busch as a park - nice sightlines and a phenomenal view of the city in the outfield - but I'd gladly give up that view for the ability to tailgate and park easily and inexpensively.

What's it cost to park at the K? $10?

Double or triple that if you're parking near a downtown ballpark.

Yep. Do those parking fees go to the team if they aren't technically parking on their property?

Yup. And actually, I attribute that as part of the reason I can attend so many games. I can park, eat, and drink before the game at 1/3 of the price of what it would cost to do so at a pricey stadium side restaurant. Makes each game much cheaper, which in turn lets me see more games.

And every time I've attended something down in P&L, parking has been a major pain in the ass. A maze of one way streets, shitty overpriced parking structures with stalls just wide enough for a Smart car and **** you if you have a pickup or SUV, followed by a 7-8 block walk to an overpriced bar.

The K fits my style just fine....
