I take I-70 to the games, and GRID describes it perfectly, you'll likely breeze through. To leave the game I take the back ways - take a right on Raytown Road, take a right on Stadium Drive then take Leeds to Cleaver will take you right to the Plaza and there is basically no traffic that way.
Same deal leaving. You don’t have to be in the far left lane of the parking lot exit road to get onto NB Blue Ridge. It’s a triple left. Then once you are on NB Blue Ridge, stay in the second lane from the left and use the damn dual left lanes to get onto WB I-70, you will be out of the park and on the interstate in minutes.
My only beef is that we have the reserved parking in lot A and unless I drive the SUV so I can jump the curb, I am forced to go with the traffic flow which forces all traffic from that lot out to Raytown Road which can take a while. They close off the exits from that parking lot to the main perimeter road (which gives direct access to Blue Ridge). Not a big deal, but if I did have something to complain about…

Here are some Sox fans impression of Kauffman Stadium. Not too bad really..

I tend to agree with the general sentiment of the thread. Kauffman was “charming” but very country, dated and minor league at the same time.
I have always thought that, especially with the damn spinning pick-up truck and john deer ads everywhere. The new park sort of brings the park more into the major league spectrum of ball parks.
