In dedication to a proud franchise and past greats, the Kansas City Royals opened their Hall of Fame exhibit this past Friday; located beyond leftfield.  Fans who paid admission to that night’s game were invited to witness the ribbon-cutting event as legendary Royals alumni took part in pre-game ceremonies, among them, National Baseball Hall of Fame member George Brett.

“This is a great experience for me,” Brett said, before helping [Frank] White and Royals vice president of business operations Kevin Uhlich cut the ribbon in front of the new Hall of Fame. “Not only to come back here and relive some of the greatest moments in my life that happened on a baseball field, but to see some of the guys that I shared those moments with.”

The new attraction occupies 7,000 square feet and heavily incorporates interactive features for fans, including a “Build Your Own K” visual experience as part of the “Taking the Field” exhibit which honors the history of Kansas City ballparks.  For more information regarding features and operations, visit the Royals Hall of Fame web site.
