Not since 1921

Liberty Memorial

has Kansas City experienced such a day.

Above shows the stage at Union Station being set up for the 2015 Royals Rally.
People were just starting to arrive.

From there the crowds grew to 800,000 people;
which was close to double the number of people who now live in Kansas City.

The historic 1921 dedication of Liberty Memorial only saw 100,000 people or about 1/3 of the people who lived in Kansas City

Until now, the overwhelming crowd at the Liberty Memorial dedication was unfathomable to me. However, after the 2015 World Series Rally, I now finally understand.

What this landmark and Union Station have seen over the years!!!
