Kansas City Royals fans have endured quite a long drought since the glory days of George Brett and the franchise's only World Series title back in 1985. But many baseball experts have tabbed the Royals as a sleeper pick to contend in the American League Central this season. One of the highlights of the 2008 Kansas City Royals baseball schedule is sure to be the interleague games against the St. Louis Cardinals. Although perhaps not as well known as the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, the Royals and Cards have a big-time border battle going, and you can be there to see it with Kansas City Royals baseball tickets from GoTickets.com.

Over the last couple of years management has not hesitated to spend money on payroll, and the Royals have plenty of young talent and also a new manager in Trey Hillman. Plus the team is bringing back the powder blue uniforms in which they won a World Series. And there are other reasons for optimism in KC - the venerable Kaufmann Stadium, one of the few well-designed ballparks from the 1970s, is due to undergo a significant renovation over the next two years that will add restaurants, a new high-definition scoreboard and a new Royals Hall of Fame. And of course the famous Kaufmann Stadium fountains will still be a prominent feature. Once those improvements are done, the commissioner has promised that Kaufmann Stadium will host the MLB All-Star Game sometime in the near future. That will be a great way to show off the upgraded ballpark, as well as the upgraded team on the field. If you want Kansas City Royals tickets, GoTickets.com has them for you right now.
