Kauffman Stadium (formerly Royals Stadium) is a Major League Baseball stadium located in Kansas City, Missouri, and home to the Kansas City Royals of the American League. It is a part of the Truman Sports Complex (together with Arrowhead Stadium).

In 1968, Ewing Kauffman purchased the Kansas City Royals expansion team and on April 10, 1973 the Royals inaugurated Royals Stadium with a win over the Texas Rangers.

On May 15, 1973, the stadium, barely a month into the stadium's existence, saw Nolan Ryan, pitching for the California Angels throw the first of his seven no-hitters, blanking the Royals, 3-0.

On July 24, 1973, Royals Stadium hosted its first (and so far, only) Major League Baseball All-Star Game. It hosted its first ALCS in 1976, and its first World Series in 1980. In 1985, Royals Stadium saw the Kansas City Royals defeat the St. Louis Cardinals for the only world championship it has hosted.

On July 2, 1993, Royals Stadium was renamed Kauffman Stadium in honor of Ewing Kauffman, who died the following month at the age of 76.
