Parking at Kauffman Stadium for a Royals game is about as simple as it gets, given the ballpark’s location outside of the city’s downtown core. When you approach Kauffman Stadium, you’ll see signage for General Parking and Reserved Parking. There are multiple lots that belong to each category. Reserved Parking is close to the ballpark, while General Parking is a bit farther away. You can expect to pay $30 in advance or $40 on game days to use one of the Reserved lots, while a spot in one of the General lots will cost $20 in advance or $30 on game days.
Tailgating is a popular pregame activity at Kauffman Stadium, as is the case at several stadiums in the Midwest. If you’re planning to tailgate, you’ll want to use General Parking Lot N, which is the most popular lot for this activity. While some fans advocate parking at any of the hotels that are within walking distance of the ballpark, this isn’t advisable. Staff at these hotels are vigilant about restricting parking to hotel guests only, which means that you might be ticketed.
