Harry S. Truman Sports Complex

One of my favorite places on the planet ud83cudf0f ud83dude0d

Truman Sports Complex is a great location for fundraising events, festivals, runs, etc. There are several gates through which you can enter, from various directions of the city. Look at the map of the parking lot with respect to tickets you have if you're attending a sports event here, and that will help you to find the best gate to enter from, so the walk is less from your vehicle. There's over one million square yards in area when you put together all of the parking lots.nnCheck the website for Kauffman or Arrowhead, to find when the gates to the parking lots are going to open on any given day - it changes by event. You should also look to see if you can purchase parking in advance as sometimes you get a small discount doing this. Parking fees are steep, so bring cash and be prepared for this.nnThey are usually well-prepared for tailgaters. You can bring a grill, and there are bins for disposing of hot coals. Just make sure you're using these designated bins and not trash bins. There are plenty of trash bins (dumpsters). There's also porta-potties throughout the parking lots. It's always wise to bring a small roll of tp and hand sanitizer as back up, if it's going to be close to a sell-out crowd. You can play yard games in the lot, and play music.nnDepending on the sport, sometimes you are not allowed to remain in the parking lot to just tailgate once the game has started, so make sure you're checking on the rules for this ahead of time, as well.

After all these years, still the best!

Parking is horrible. When it's packed, it's literally the worst. By the way, the S doesn't really stand for anything. He has no middle name, but the S was a compromise between the names of his grandfathers. There ya go. Knowledge is power.

Needs more bike infrastructure. Go Royals!
