Kauffman is on the same campus as Arrow Head and shares parking lots. There were several cool photo opportunities as we approached and entered the stadium. Once we were Inside, we purchased turkey dogs on gluten free buns, regular dogs on wheat buns, and a gluten free vegetarian hummus and veggie tray. Staff was friendly and food was tasty. Our seats overlooked home plate and the fountains across the field. The crowd is well swagged. They won! Fantastic experience all around. .

I was in town for the World Cup and figured what the heck, I'll make it ALL about sports! The parking was fairly cheap and nicely organized, though a marker to find our car would have been great, maybe colored poles, or funny named section markers. We ate a while before coming so we just got sweets and a drink. I was happy to get a scarf for the giveaway ala FIFA style, but I liked the other companies that were there promoting themselves and doing giveaways (towels, hand sanitizer). I got soft serve at Hawaiian Bros before realizing they had another ice cream shop on site! Oh well it was fine. I liked the fountains as a nice touch; I can always stare at water when I'm bored, and the color lights in the fountain changed, which was a nice effect. The layout of the stadium is pretty standard, but I was not nuts about the smoking sections near drinks/food. Where I'm from the smoking section is away from food and drinks. The funky artwork around there was nice for 'non-sports' fans. I also wanted to come for fireworks. I have to say the music and fireworks were stunning to watch, especially near the fountains! Of course the food is overpriced so it's best to eat beforehand, but we actually saw a vodka seltzer tasting with free samples! That's not too typical in Chicago! A nice surprise. David M has a point about public transportation. To have TWO stadiums across the street from one another and no buses to get to them is criminal! I get it is near residences, but a shuttle of some sort should be an option!

I'm happy to say, the field is in good shape and Loyola Park is a great place to watch a ballgame. If you're wanting an up close view, there's a small grandstand of bleachers directly behind home plate, in between the dugouts. I like sitting on the hill that begins behind home plate and flows down the line behind the first base dugout. Judging by my fellow fans, it's a pretty popular space. Feel free to bring your own fold out chair or blanket. You can see most of the field and you're also close enough to hear the infield chatter. A small concession stand is available. Bathrooms are located underneath the grand stands. The playing field is natural grass and dirt with mostly symmetrical outfield dimensions.

It's a great large park with a large castle like plastic playground so the kids can play princess and knight. There's another smaller playground for younger toddlers who are just mastering stepping up and sliding down. There are a few swings, a small rock climbing boulder that wouldn't do much damage if a kid fell off, and a picnic area, where my friend and I sat in the shade while the kids played. There was a camp there also, and all the kids were sitting and listening to a police K9 demo. Not far away there's a water park/swimming pool. Overall, this is a great place for kids to come and wear themselves out! I really like it and it's so adorable!

A local's recommendation led us here, and once we found our way off the main roads back here, it was exactly what we wanted. (Finding it's not that hard; follow the casino and historical marker signs and be patient. It's only about a mile off the main drag.) I only got to see part of this 31 acre park, but what I saw was great--several picnic shelters, BBQ pits, kids' play structures (including one with a mini rock-climbing wall! photo pending), and baseball diamonds. A great place to relax, watch a game, or meet friends. TRIVIA: This park is on the National Registry of Historic Places, and from its high point, you can see the start of the Santa Fe Trail.

I realize that concrete (b/sidewalks, everything is dusty, pebbly gravel) is expensive but they need to grow some grass.

Also, if you use the ladies room at the green concession stand you will most definitely be wearing hot water when you leave because the sink water is hot and it sprays your clothes hard, even if you barely turn it on.

A lot of west-central Missouri youth baseball teams play in tourneys here. The park has four baseball diamonds of varying sizes and a couple of softball diamonds; we didn't find the fields to be in great shape, though. Only one has a grass infield; the other three are dust bowls. Also, the grounds crew didn't seem to know what they were doing. They had our field set up on junior-sized 84' base paths, and when our coach kept telling them that the field didn't look right, they insisted it had been measured. We played an inning before Coach finally prevailed & got a re-measurement, and sure enough, they were short. So we had to wait around while they moved the bases to the 90' slots. So much for insisting they had measured. Parking is pretty limited & can be an absolute zoo on a tourney day.
