Why Kansas
Kansas, the 'Sunflower State'
Despite their cultural significance, wild sunflowers were ironically branded a "noxious weed" by state law in 1895. However, the resilient plant’s tough endurance on the prairie resonated with locals. Inspired by Kansans wearing the flower to identify their state, Senator George Morehouse introduced legislation to designate the wild native sunflower as the state flower. Governor Willis Bailey signed the bill on March 30, 1903.
Today, while the wild sunflower still dots roadsides and fields throughout all Kansas counties, farmers also cultivate commercial sunflower varieties to produce protein-rich seeds and healthy vegetable oils.

Royals Stadium
Also know as, Kauffman Stadium- is a ballpark located in Kansas City, Missouri, and the home of Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals. It is next door to Arrowhead Stadium, home of the National Football League's Kansas City Chiefs. Both make up the Truman Sports Complex.

This stadium is known as the loudest stadium in all of the world. Sitting in the "Diamond Club" seating area calls for catering services straight to your seats and the best view of the game directly behind home plate.
John's Big Deck
Casual grill fare served in a hopping 3-level space with live music, DJs & a convivial rooftop bar.
Address:
928 Wyandotte St, Kansas City, MO 64105
What I like about it:
John's Big Deck, has a nice roof-top sitting area that allows the vibes to flow just right. There is a fire pit where you can enjoy your food and drinks with friends. Each of the 3 levels are split based on a variety of themes- dive bar, black-tie, and outdoor whimsical. Having these options catered based on the nights' events makes it all the more fun to intermingle with everyone around.
