CommunityAmerica Park is a minor league baseball stadium in Kansas City, Kansas, home of the Kansas City T-Bones of the independent Northern League. It is located at 1800 Village West Parkway in Kansas City, Kansas.
While designed for baseball, it has also been used for concerts and some community events. Ground was broken on September 4, 2002, and was completed in just over nine months by Titan Construction, opening June 6, 2003. It has 4,365 fixed seats, though its capacity (including grass berms, concourse, and center field party area) is usually listed at 5,768. Attendance has on a number of occasions exceeded 7,000.
The reported dimensions of CommunityAmerica are 300 feet down the left field line (with an 18-foot wall, affectionately known as "the Little Green Monster"), 370 feet to left center, 405 feet to dead center, 390 feet to right center, and 330 down the right field line. Walls are about five feet high, with the exception of the Little Green Monster and the bullpen area in left center.
The walls are about 10 feet high at the bullpens, which are in center field and add a few extra angles and contours to the outfield. The playing and seating areas are completely surrounded by a 25-foot wide concourse.
