Kinda odd that its a night game even though they have to fly home tonight.

I'll update the OP with the usual bells and whistles when I get home.

I've been impressed with the Royals turnout. The seats by the Royals dugout were mostly blue both nights I went. Definitely pretty vocal too with Moose chants frequently, which is perfect because Dbacks fans were probably booing at the same time.

In for the sweep

Some Chiefs fans are currently teaching SungWoo how to play flip cup

No idea because 14 teams make Phoenix their spring training home and I'm not sure of all the teams here, the Royals would make my list if I was looking to root for a team. The couple in front of us the first night were from Topeka and took the train to Flagstaff and drove down for the games. Phoenix seems to have a large percentage of people from KC who aren't afraid to travel here or winter here.

I'll watch the first half of the Chiefs maybe, but the Royals have my undivided attention right now.

Chiefs radio. Royals tv.

Yes, for the reg season when they play at the same time I'll probably listen to the royals and watch the chiefs.
