A few observations - Both teams looked very nice, top to toe. Disappointed with the stadium renovations. More novelties, wider concourses, yeah okay, but when walking up to it, it looked like that 70's addition to Yankee Stadium. Just didn't fit the original architectural style. Fountains are no longer symetrical in a stadium that focuses completely on symetry. I-70 is still a major focal point, though I don't quite understand what it's original draw was. The stadium stares directly at it for some reason as if to say nothing says KC better than a damn interstate. Overall big crowd, good looking teams, lots of cheap replicas walking around, and Ponson still sucks. Went to the Royals/Yankees gmae today.
