Abc 7 News ReporterWayne Freedman joins us now from Kauffman Stadium which is actually in independence, missouri. Wayne . Reporter it is in independence, missouri, but they call themselves kansas city. I cant tell the difference. I dont know when we went from kansas city to independence but behind me, Kauffman Stadium. They call it the k. It was built in 1973. It is a sleek jetson style structure. The last time they saw a world series here and a victory was 1985, when you wait that long what is just another hour, huh . By the time tim lincecum and the rest of the San Francisco giants entered royals Kauffman Stadium around 3 00 p. M. Local time, the place had already been hopping and for awhile. 25 for parking. Reporter yes, believe it. For the few and far between San Francisco fans, it is a steal after all the expensive routings they took to get here. San francisco, san diego, san diego to here. I followed them from spring training to here. How about that. We can top that. How about this San Francisco fan who did not want to be seen . Hiding from his wife, apparently. I dont think he told her he was going. Reporter for paying what he will be paying, we have heard 550, 650, just for standing room only. Do you have tickets . No. Reporter think about that. Many of these fans came here as an act of faith hoping to buy tickets. Whats your budget . That depends. Reporter heres one ticket holder. It belongs to Larry Phillips from san jose who paid 350 in advance. He has nosebleed seats, apparently, and it does not matter. Win it for larry. We can do that. Reporter last we heard, larry was in the stadium. As for some of the other people looking for tickets, its not such good news yet a lot of them are still looking. We are also told in the last hour, not that it will help you in San Francisco, prices are dropping. They are only 300 or 400 to get in the stadium here. Its a big event in kansas city or independence. Put it this way. Its a big event in missouri, its a big event in kansas, its a big event in nebraska, its a pretty darned big event for anywhere in the midwest except st. Louis. Larry . I like the idea of win it for larry. Im all for that. I am puzzled by the guy who is not telling his wife hes doing a Television Interview with you. Give us your sense, because we covered the super bowl together in new orleans a couple years ago with the 49ers and 20102012 for the giants. The level of enthusiasm for the royals fans. Its been three decades nearly since they have had anything like this to celebrate. Are they in a complete frenzy . Reporter i wouldnt say they are in a frenzy. I think they have the feeling that they should be in this world series and they think they have been through hardship, okay . These Kansas City Royals fans, they dont know hardship. They didnt wait from 1954 to 2010 to win a world series. Its only been since 1985. Of course, i talked to one fan today, i said what did you think about all that. She says i wasnt born the last time they won a world series here. One other interesting note. There was a fan on the field today, a fan, an electric fan, it was drying the paint on the field. The last time they had that logo on the field with a fan drawing it, that field was made out of artificial turf. Yeah, they want to win it but a lot of giants fans want to win it too. Its not a matter of entitlement. 1985. They havent had a lot of experience painting over the field with those special logos. Thanks very much. Wayne freedman live in kansas city.
