The Kansas City Monarchs will open the 2022 season at 7 p.m. Friday, May 13, against the Sioux City Explorers at Legends Field, 1800 Village West Parkway, Kansas City, Kansas.
This year, opening day will include a Greater Kansas City Day fundraiser to benefit Rotary Youth Camp.
The Greater Kansas City Day fundraiser was created 34 years ago to benefit the Rotary Youth Camp and celebrate Kansas City. Historically centered around baseball’s opening day; many organizations partnered with local Rotary clubs to sell papers and flags to benefit local children’s charities. For the second straight year, the Greater Kansas City Day committee will partner with the Kansas City Monarchs to celebrate their opening day and raise funds with team cap and discounted ticket sales.
“Seeing the Monarchs take the field again – this year as league champions – is just incredible,” Monarchs owner Mark Brandmeyer said. “We are excited to see our fans back out at the ballpark and we are proud to partner with Rotary to keep the Greater Kansas City Day tradition alive.”
