Didn't the Royals also play there for a little while or were they always at Kaufman?FangKC wrote: Municipal Stadium was home to the Kansas City Blues and Monarchs baseball teams. It was located south of the 18th and Vine Jazz District at Brooklyn and 22nd Street. The stadium was also know as Muehlebach Field after the owner.

Yes. That picture is from the '50's as the Scoreboard has the Schlitz sign and the fence is at it's outermost dimensions, wrapping around the Light tower in Left field that had the Butternut Bread clock on it.anniewarbucks wrote: Didn't the Royals also play there for a little while or were they always at Kaufman?

The Royals did play here a short time I remember going to autograph day there and getting Bob Oliver's autograph. Used to go to Chiefs games there, Spurs games too, saw Pele play there too.
