Kansas City Royals Hall of Fame

I realize DI has partners and clients all over the world, but we are both in Kansas City and that makes us kindred spirits.

Any time I have an idea or project, I know DI is only a phone call away and they always have creative ideas to help us share our history with fans.

Curt Nelson, Director - Kansas City Royals Hall of Fame, Kansas City Royals

Our team knows how important the fan experience is, so every element of the hall of fame is designed with that in mind. Fans are invited to learn about the Boys in Blue, starting with an impressive ash wood wall engraved with headlines from Kansas City newspapers dating back to 1884 and vitrine display cases filled with unique, historical artifacts. And finally, a 4-foot diameter cut-away baseball breaks down the make-up of a ball and a “please touch” exhibit on the evolution of baseball bats and gloves. At the center of the exhibit roster is a giant #5 honoring Hall of Famer George Brett’s 3,154 major league hits in the shape of his retired number.

For over ten years, Dimensional Innovations has transformed Kauffman Stadium’s 7,000-sq-ft, two-story hall of fame into a home run fan experience. And with every project, DI helps turn bandwagon fans into season pass holders and season pass holders into even more loyal Royals. As fans, we know heavy is the head that wears the crown.
