Color of original lower level seats at Royals Stadium

[DanT]

Any fans remember the seats in Royals Stadium the first couple of decades? What color would you use to describe the ones in the lower level? I sorta remember them as burnt orange, but some websites say maroon. What say you? If you think more "red" than "orange", please choose maroon. If you think more "orange" than "red", please choose "burnt orange".

Does "/thread" mean rethread? If so, sorry about that!

No, it means "thread over." He thinks that answer was so good that it warrants no further discussion.

It's kind of like a close tag.....for example, when you post an image you put the tag {IMG}image location{/IMG}. The /IMG indicates the close of the IMG tag, just as /thread would indicate the close of a thread.

Does that make sense?

Q means repost and that's a whole other story.

And the seats were orange.

It used to be 'repost'... then people started doing one letter per post, trying to spell
r
e
p
o
s
t

...then others would interrupt it with Q, so you would see
r
e
q

or

r
e
p
o
s
q

So, now it's Q.

Whenever someone would repost, someone would post "R", and the next person would post "E", and the next person would post "P", and so on until the word REPOST was spelled in successive posts. However, that never happened because someone would come along and type something that wasn't an R, E, P, O, S, or T. One time it got all the way to R E P O S with no interrupting posts. However, some genius individual posted "Q". That made REPOSQ and it was hilarious. Over time, reposq was shortened to Q.

That is the story of Q.

Kind of reddish-orange.

Edit: teedubya beat me to it.

I think the lower was red/orange (more red than burnt orange IMO), the middle yellow and the upper deck orange.

When they changed the seats out during the renovation they were piled to the sky in NKC at a junkyard near Bedford Ave.
You could buy them there but dont recall what they were going for.
