Buck O'Neil Seat Program

Buck O’Neil Seat

The Buck O’Neil Legacy Seat continues to be one of the greatest Kansas City honors for individuals impacting our community. While Buck loved baseball, his love of this city and its people will always be at the forefront for all those who knew him. Buck’s seat is famous at Kauffman Stadium. It is the only red seat in the stadium, and it is where Buck sat when scouting.
