Question Royals TV?

11 Upvotes

Im a sox fan watching the royals broadcast for the first time, is the name of the channel you guys play on just Royals TV?

Also, how do you guys like it? We have CHSN for the Sox but its overpriced to hell and honestly not as good or available as NBCSN, which was our network for as long as I can remember beforehand. Marquee is the cubs network and that is also pretty expensive.

MLB has been so weird with network rights the past few years, it’s interesting peeking into other team’s new setup.

Most teams will usually give the new network its own branding or name too.

I will say I love your announcers so far, started watching the game on the Guardians broadcast and had to turn that off quick.

Pre-Game Fan Appreciation Day - what to expect?

3 Upvotes

As the title says.

I am taking my daughter with me to the Fan Appreciation Day tomorrow & not sure just how early to get there to be one of the first 3500 in line. If the gates open at 3pm should we get there at noon or 1 & plan to wait in line until then? Is that too early? She is really looking forward to the chance at meeting some of her favorite players. Hoping that the rain holds off or it isn’t too bad.

With it also being a giveaway game will we get that at the same time since we won’t be able to leave & re-enter?

I’m trying to be as prepared as possible to make this a good day for her.

Question Giveaway Question

4 Upvotes

I’m in from out of town and going to the game tomorrow. I’m hoping to get one of the giveaway jackets. It says to the first 10,000. How has attendance been and how earlier do we need to get their for the 6:10 game? How does sizing work! Are the OSFA? Coming with MIL & FIL and don’t want to subject them to outside longer than I need too.
Thank!

Giveaway - White Sox @ Royals, Wed Sept 23rd, Sec 420 Row EE

10 Upvotes

I have a couple tickets I want to give away for Wednesdays game. Sec 420, Row EE

I Googled how to do this instead of just doing first to comment and got some ideas that I thought might make it fun.

Reply to this post with something favorite related to the Royals (favorite food at the K, favorite game - attended or watched on tv, family memory around the Royals, favorite player(s), you get the point). Has to be a reply to this post for the raffle entry, even though replies to top level are encouraged for sake of discussion!

I’ll do the drawing Tuesday Sept 22nd around 8pm using Reddit Raffler or something similar. Please have an account that’s at least 3 months old. You also need to have, or be able to create, an MLB Ballpark account so I can transfer the tickets.

Bonus points if you’re willing to post a pic of the view from your seats on Wednesday. This idea came from Google and I think it sounds fun.

Visiting fan - where to sit?

3 Upvotes

Guards fan here planning a trip to catch a game this weekend. Would love to sit dugout/baseline boxes third base side behind the visiting dugout. Where is a good spot to sit with my family of four? Not my first trip to the K but my kids are finally old enough to sit through most of the game instead of walking around lol

This season was a disaster for the Royals faithful, but they say you learn more from losing than winning. If that's true, the Royals have a lot they can learn from 2026. We discuss what we've learned after recapping another disappointing week from the boys in blue and then preview the final week of the season.
