How weather plays at Kauffman Stadium
Kauffman Stadium is open-air, so wind, temperature, humidity and rain are all live factors every game. Kauffman Stadium sits at 856 feet, a modest elevation where wind and temperature matter more than air density. Home plate faces northeast toward center field (bearing 46°), so a wind out of the southwest blows straight out to center at Kauffman Stadium, and the reverse knocks fly balls down. The fences run 347′ down the left line, 410′ to center and 344′ to right — the short right field corner (344′) is where a helping wind turns warning-track contact into damage. Park notes: Water fountains beyond RF (322ft wide); Crown-shaped scoreboard; Symmetric outfield.
