Traffic is expected to be heavy today around the Truman Sports Complex in Kansas City, Mo., according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.
Motorists are urged to leave early and arrive early to see the Royals in the World Series game, that begins at 7:06 p.m. today.
The I-70 and I-435 corridors in Kansas City, Mo., around the sports complex, will probably see heavy traffic from midday Tuesday throughout the early evening, according to transportation officials.
A sell-out crowd combined with the usual afternoon rush hour traffic can lead to backups and delays for those who are accustomed to normal game-day traffic.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority has announced it is not running special direct express shuttles to the stadium because of a federal law that took effect prohibiting public transit agencies from competing with private companies offering charter services.
Closest bus service to the stadium will be the eastbound 47-Broadway, which will stop at northbound Blue Ridge Cutoff at 40th Terrace and northbound Blue Ridge Cutoff at 41st. The westbound 47-Broadway will stop on southbound Blue Ridge Cutoff between 41st Terrance and Stadium Entrance D Drive.
