Whether you’re looking for a casual night out for two or an afternoon with the whole family, you can’t go wrong with a trip to the ballpark.

The KC Royals have a jam-packed September at The K, and we’re breaking down the best ways to see the boys in blue and get the most bang for your buck for your next outing. Which Royals fan are you?

The Family Deal Seeker:

Choose the Family 4 Pack and get four tickets, four hotdogs, four sodas, and a parking pass for every Sunday home game (either View Reserved for $50 or Field Plaza for $100).

Pro tip: If you’re a family of more than four, you can add an additional ticket, which includes a hot dog and a soda. Your kids can blow off some steam in the Outfield Experience and race around the bases on the field during the free Fun Run after the game

The Weeknight Double Dater:

Choose the Score 4 Pack. This deal operates like the Family 4 Pack, but is available for select Monday and Wednesday home games. Four tickets, four hotdogs, four sodas, and a parking pass? Starting at only $40? Count us in.

The Snack Saver:

Check out the Pepsi Party Porch. And come hungry because this deal features all you can eat and drink. Customize your grub at the hot dog, nacho, and appetizer stations featuring Pepsi products, domestic beers, and seltzers.

Plus, catch the game from the front row in right field — and you may even catch a home run ball.

The Royal Relaxer:

Take advantage of the Brew and View deal. Get a Royals ticket, an ice-cold beer, and exclusive access to the Blue Moon taproom. Read: Enjoy some of the best views of the game while kicking back with a cold one.

Editor Bella checking in. Sour beers are one of my favorite types of beer — especially for these hot, late summer days.

Whether you’re a fan of the sweet + sour taste or you’re just looking to add a new pint to your palate, we’re rounding up the best spots for sour beers in Kansas City.

Crane Brewing, 6515 Railroad St., Raytown, MO | If you love sours, this is the spot for you. We recommend the iconic Tea Weiss.

Servaes Brewing, 10921 Johnson Dr., Shawnee, KS | This woman-brewed option features rotating sours for all taste buds.

Casual Animal, 1725 McGee St., KCMO | While the menu rotates frequently, every sour here is a top notch contender. If you’re lucky enough to catch the Blue Flamingo Fruited Sour, get a tall pour.

Pathlight Brewing, 11200 W 75th St., Shawnee, KS | This spot has sour options galore — the Le Pesche Mode is a must-have.
