Photo taken on May 2, 1967 by Marvin Newman, A's hosting Washington Senators. The SOM download pack includes this photo and .loc file. "Alternate" night shot, but in those who attended summer games in KC will remember that many of the "night" games were played more in partial daylight as a result of two factors: The A's started their night games at 7pm (as opposed to 8pm or later for most clubs in the 1960's, and Kansas City is in the western part of the Central time zone. As a result, the sky was often not totally dark until the sixth or seventh inning, depending on the speed of the game.

May 18,1969 - By the time the Kansas City Royals became the stadium's final tenant, the stadium had added bleachers in right field and additional field level seating inside the right field wall. Unfortunately, this partial panorama is the best I have been able to find in the final configuration.
