Pack rain gear along with your peanuts and Cracker Jacks if you’re headed to Kauffman Stadium for the Royals’ season opener against the Chicago White Sox Thursday afternoon.
A slow-moving cold front is expected to cross into the Kansas City area Thursday, bringing the possibility of several rounds of heavy rain that could persist on-and-off through Friday.
But Royals officials said they hope to play the game Thursday even if that means rain delays.
“The long and the short of it is that we’ll be doing everything we can to get the game in,” said Toby Cook, a spokesman for the Royals.
