Before you come, be sure to check with the KC FReepers to find the best places to check out and eat... They've reopened Strouds for the world's greatest Fried Chicken, but if you ask about BBQ, be prepared for a flame war... We've got the best, but some people are opinionated, and everyone else is wrong.

LOL! I've heard from a lot of folks who either lived in or traveled to KC that I need to roll by Arthur Bryant's for BBQ, but I have heard some very dissenting opinions about that. :)
FWIW, when it comes to baseball I've been following the Giants as long as I've been following the Raiders, and Kauffman Stadium is one place I've wanted to see, since my Giants road trip is typically on Father's Day weekend, during Interleague play. I never thought I'd look forward to going to Kansas City...:)
