Talk:Kauffman Stadium

AstroTurf
Article states that the field was AstroTurf from 1973-1994. I am pretty sure the original turf was Tartan Turf (from 3M, I think) but I absolutely remember for sure that at least at one point while it was artificial turf, it was Tartan Turf. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.136.150.113 (talk) 06:35, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Possible conflict in article
Article states renovation was completed in July 2009, yet caption under picture says: Newly renovated Kauffman Stadium on opening day 2009 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.136.150.113 (talk) 06:39, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

This is actually correct. The stadium was opened as a renovated stadium before the renovation was completed. In fact it never actually closed and was in operation during the entire renovation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.79.4.145 (talk) 15:26, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

More Confusion
Article states that stadium was built for the Kansas City Athletics, who had just signed a new lease to remain in the city. Then article states that owner Charles Finley moved the A's to Oakland. There is no mention if he violated the lease, or had been given an out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.136.150.113 (talk) 06:45, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Kansas City Stars and Frederick Johnson
Undid last addition by anonymous user: "The Kansas City Stars are a team in the stadium too. Though Frederick Johnson disliked the Idea since a crown is at the top of the screen he wanted. "

Although the edit was probably well-intentioned, it needs citation, rewriting and probably doesn't belong in the lede.TjoeC (talk) 02:59, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Fence heights?
Does anyone know how high the fences are in the outfield? We'd appreciate it if whoever knows could share the knowledge with the rest of us.

Field dimensions
The Field dimensions for Right Field are not listed. I think it's the same as Left Field, but I'm not certain. Rd.49 (talk) 13:39, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
