Gates most likely gone from Kauffman Stadium

It’s looking as if Gates Barbecue won’t have a place at the redesigned Kauffman Stadium.

In charge of concession stands and restaurants in the newly redesigned stadium is food giant Aramark, which signed an agreement this past fall with the club to provide food services for the next 10 years. Calls to Aramark office went unreturned but a Royals employee with knowledge of the new concession layouts told me he had not seen Gates in the new plans.
