Well personally, I want a big hot dog and a soft pretzel when I am at a baseball game, but that’s neither here nor there.
We love baseball in our house, which I am sure you noticed with our pregnancy announcement.
Opening day was today, and we are so pumped to have our beloved Royals back!
Tom was so pumped to get a camo KC hat!
Unfortunately, being a Royals fan comes with a lot of pain. We lost our first game today to the Tigers.
But never fear, the season is long! And I am sure we will bounce back!
We are not fair weather fans in this house!
I grew up in KC, and my mom’s house was down the street from the stadium. Many weekends we spent in the parking lot riding our bikes and watching fireworks on Fridays.
My brother and I collected baseball cards like it was our job there for a time.
We ate ice cream and applesauce out of our beloved small plastic baseball caps.
You just love the men in blue when you grow up in KC. And luckily I married a man who also loves my Royals, despite where he grew up being mostly Cardinals fans. He knows where the true sportsmanship is!
Our wedding was also unintentionally in Royals colors. Tom’s favorite color is blue and mine is yellow. That is how we picked out our wedding colors, and we soon then realized that we had matched our Royals.
I have had so much fun over the years watching games. The Royals fans and the stadium atmosphere are top notch.
We stand behind our team no matter what.
The games are fairly cheap, and they do a great job entertaining between innings and pitches. It really is a fun time. Plus they have lots of give aways, so generally you are guaranteed some swag when you go. I can’t wait to live closer to take advantage of T-shirt Tuesdays!
Some of my Iowa favorites reuniting at the game
I had one of my bachelorette parties at a game. Seriously a fan, and I won’t hold it against my sister-in-law (pictured here) that she roots for the wrong Missouri team.
My best friend and other half with their men, my mom, and my sister-in-law. They were keeping me distracted while Tom was on one of his Army adventures.
This was at an I-Cubs game in Des Moines, but they were playing the Royals farm team. So obviously we came decked out in blue!
My best friend and other half (two different people folks)
My dad and step mom at a game.
One of the fortunate things of my undergrad was that it was close enough to make it to some games with college friends one in awhile.
Match made in heaven with our fandom!
I think this was opening day one year with my Best Friend and Slugger!
My brother and I at a game. See wedding colors?
Tom and I were both born in 1985 when the Royals won the World Series. We were born to be Royals fans. So we are hoping that little birthing luck will be passed down to our Little Guy, and this will be a good year for our boys in blue.
If you were not aware, Lorde’s song “Royals” was inspired by the MLB Royals player George Brett. She saw a picture of him in a Royals t-shirt, and the rest of her fame is history. So it is only appropriate that someone in KC made a parody.
Do you watch baseball? Who is your team? Have you ever experienced a baseball game at the K?

I love baseball! And my fave ballpark food is cheese fries. Yum.
Yummy!
My “hometown” teams are all from Dallas. That means I’m a fan of the Stars, the Cowboys, and the Rangers. My little brother played catcher in little league during Pudge’s hayday with the Rangers, so he was the family’s favorite player. We didn’t go to too many games, but we watched a lot on TV. The last few years have been exciting as we’ve come so close twice.
Now if only the Cowboys could get their act together…
Being far away from KC we don’t make it too many, but we watch from afar! And we know how you feel about the Cowboys, that is our life as KC fans.
Being from Texas my family is a HUGE!!! Rangers fan!!! You can’t help but love the Rangers!! They bring the state together!!!! My family is always involved with events and games at the Stadium. Its so fun to be apart of!!!!
I love how sports can bring people together!
