The last time I visited, the ballpark was under construction. That was a while ago, so I thought…read moreI'd play a little hooky from work, and take in a day game on a semi-warm Spring afternoon. I'm happy to say, the field is in good shape and Loyola Park is a great place to watch a ballgame. If you're wanting an up close view, there's a small grandstand of bleachers directly behind home plate, in between the dugouts. I like sitting on the hill that begins behind home plate and flows down the line behind the first base dugout. Judging by my fellow fans, it's a pretty popular space. Feel free to bring your own fold out chair or blanket. You can see most of the field and you're also close enough to hear the infield chatter. A small concession stand is available. Bathrooms are located underneath the grand stands. The playing field is natural grass and dirt with mostly symmetrical outfield dimensions.

They could be cleaner, but they're not gross by any means. I especially like the fact that free WiFi is available. Fields 5-12 could use some improvement. There is a pretty significant lip around the edge of the infields. That makes it tricky for outfielders to handle ground balls sometimes. Nice place overall.

All of the fields are in great condition and they are easily accessible. The main walk in offers a view of some of the fields and the main clubhouse. The main clubhouse offers the standard concession stand, while boasting a 21 and older bar on the second floor. If you continue through the park, you will walk past the batting cages and a children's playground to keep the rug rats busy during your competitive game of corporate slow-pitch. At the end of the complex you come to another concession stand that sells food, drinks and beer, and has male and female bathrooms. The location is a little on the southern side, but it is worth the drive to enjoy a game of softball or baseball at clean and well kept complex.

For a kid who was privileged enough to grow up on major-league ballparks, I find that smaller…read moreminor-league parks are always full of charm and beautiful idiosyncrasies. Whether it's the between-innings merriment, like kids' races or other creative games, or the sponsored placards adorning the outfield, no two minor-league ballfields are the same. Legends Field has that same unique elegance and has hosted minor league summer ball for the past two decades. Whether it was the bygones of T-Bones baseball or the current (re-)incarnation of the Kansas City Monarchs, having a summer tenant offers families and baseball lovers an evening entertainment option. Sure, this isn't 'big time' baseball, but they still play the game with bases spaced 90' apart, so maybe it's just the laundry the players are wearing that makes it different. Good seats are generally available and all of the stadium seating is seat-backs (no splintered benches). The patio & berm beyond left field allows for more of a picnic atmosphere or maybe even an expanse of grass where littles can play safely. Concessions are located on both sides of the concourse, featuring some local goodies, and if you just fancy an adult beverage, then there is even dedicated space just for that. A beer & a dog seem to make baseball even sweeter, IMO. The concourse is sprinkled with homage to some of the past Monarchs from Negro League days, such as Buck O'Neill and the lightning-fast Cool Papa Bell. Honestly, if you aren't familiar with Buck AND you live in the KC area, then life under that rock must be comfortable. These guys, like ol' Satchel Paige, were LEGENDS, and you can see why the place carries the moniker 'Legends Field'. Parking is easy and plentiful and if time allows, then the Legends shopping area offers lots of eating (and even shopping!) options. Tickets are easy to come by and affordable, making this a viable opportunity to share with family & friends. You might even have a shot at a foul ball or maybe even a moonshot that clears the fences (300' down the LF line is crazy, but so is 411' to left-center), so look sharp and stay in the action. Baseball is a summer pastime and this is great place to take part.
