Part of the gold crown that stood atop the old scoreboard at Kauffman for many years could be yours.</p><p>The crown is now in large pieces on a hillside behind the stadium. Sentimentalists may want to see the crown put back together in the renovated Kauffman next year, but only a couple of large pieces will be kept around, said Bob Rice, the Royals&#8217; vice president of ballpark operations and development. They will go in the new Royals&#8217; Hall of Fame beyond the left field fence.</p><p>The crown, while a stadium landmark, is also outdated, Rice observed, comparing it to a 1973 Chevy. The crown would certainly clash with the glitzy new board, even if it could go on top, which it can&#8217;t.</p><p>But remnants of old stadiums are popular with collectors and long-time fans. Teams have made money selling seats, for example, before taking the wrecking ball to old ballparks. In New York, there is talk of the Yankees selling parts of the Yankee Stadium fa&#231;ade, player lockers and bits of the pitching rubber before the building is torn down.</p><p>The Royals have discussed cutting up the steel Royal crown into small parts, placing them on plaques and selling them to interested fans, Rice said. Whether that is practical requires more study, he said. If it happens, the plaques could end up in offices, sports bars and in basement recreation room walls all over town.
