Royals Announce New Dimensions for Kauffman Stadium
The Kansas City Royals announced today Kauffman Stadium’s
outfield wall is being moved in for the 2026 season.
This change will likely create more home runs (and robbed home
runs), more extra-base hits, and more exciting action on the field
– while bringing fans closer to seeing it. The decision was made
by Baseball Operations for competitive reasons, including to
bring The K more in line with other Major League ballparks.
Work on the project has begun, and will be complete ahead of the
Royals home opener vs the Twins on Monday, March 30.
“We’ve discussed this possibility for years, and after much work
by our Research & Development department, believe this will be a
positive change for our baseball team,” Royals Executive Vice
President and General Manager J.J. Picollo said. “We wanted more
consistency throughout the season, while making sure the specifics
put us in the best position to succeed.”
The wall will come in 8 to 10 feet starting near each foul pole –
the gaps will go from 387 feet to 379 – and taper back toward
centerfield, which will remain 410 feet. The height of the wall
will also change, from 10 feet tall in most places to 8 ½ feet.
About 150 seats will be added in left field and about 80 new
drinkrail seats in right.
堪萨斯城皇家队今天宣布，本赛季会缩短 Kauffman 球场的全垒打墙距离。
这一变化可能会带来更多全垒打（和被外野手捞回的球）、
更多的长打和场上更令人兴奋的时刻——同时让球迷更靠近球场。
棒球运营部门考虑竞争性做出了这一决定，也可让 Kauffman 球场与
其他大联盟棒球场更加一致。
该工程已经开始，将在3月30日星期一皇家队主场对双城队的开幕战
前完成。
皇家队执行副总裁兼GM J.J. Picollo 说：“我们多年来一直在讨论这种可能性，
经过研发部门的大量工作，相信这对球队是正面改变。” 他也提到:
“我们希望在整个赛季中与其他球团更加一致，同时确保我们处于成功的最佳
位置。”
两侧外野到中外野之间的墙，将由387英尺缩短至379英尺——然后中外野保持410英尺。
墙的高度也会从10英尺降到8 ½英尺。左外野将增加约150个座位，
右外野将增加约80个吧台式座位。
