History of the FreshDome

The Kansas City FreshDome was the original ballpark of the Kansas City Breath Mints. With its retractable candy-striped roof and state-of-the-art air-mintening systems, the FreshDome was a technological marvel, built at a terrible cost to the people of Kansas City.

During Season 1 of Internet League Blaseball, the Dome attained sentience and began a passionate love affair with Boyfriend Monreal. When the star hitter sensed it was time for the Dome to move on and find itself, Monreal firmly but respectfully called it off. Their relationship soured and the team decided to move to an open meadow on the outskirts of town.

After clearing its head in the off-season, the Dome now has a great relationship with all of the Breath Mints, including the now-retired Monreal. However, it has no interest in returning to ball duty, preferring instead to focus on its poetry.

The Meadow

Nicknamed “The Meadow”, the current home ballpark of the Kansas City Breath Mints is an open meadow on the outskirts of town. When asked for the name of the ballpark during the Expansion Era, Breath Mints General Manager Max Betmint offered the name of the Kansas City FreshDome, for “Tax Purposes”. It is unclear what benefits exactly Betmint has gained from this, and so far seems only to have deeply confused Breath Mints fans.

Having no marked boundaries, determining home runs and foul balls in the open meadow is more of an exercise in divination than science. More than one splorts-fan has attempted to stretch the home field advantage by changing plot lines at the county recording office, so most games require at least one surveyor to be present.

The air in the open meadow on the outskirts of town is known for its rejuvenating properties. When Winnie Hess first filled her lungs with its minty exurban freshness after relocating from Baltimore, she immediately gained two-and-a-half stars of pitching ability.

After suffering two player incinerations in Season 4, fans placed a velvet victorian fainting couch between second and third base, should any player or splorts-fan need to fling themselves upon it out of grief. Following the incineration of Boyfriend Monreal in Season 7, newcomer Pudge Nakamoto moved the couch into their home, located along the 4th base line, and offered the heartbroken a place to grieve in good company. Accounts of what has become of Nakamoto's house since their departure from Kansas City vary.

When asked about the status of his ballpark as a Crime Scene, Betmint has insisted that "THE ONLY CRIME IN KANSAS CITY IS 14 SEASONS AND NO CHAMPIONSHIP RING OR SWORD OR WHATEVER THEY HAND OUT".

Pre-Game Rituals

• Thanks to the long-term effects of the meadow, all Kansas City Breath Mint fans carry a small pocket of freshness within their lungs. Mints fans traveling to away games routinely step outside, taste the air and exclaim “Ahhhhh, Kansas City!” regardless of where they stop. Following this pre-game ritual, the exhalations of Mints fans spread a little bit of minty freshness wherever they go, slowly converting the rest of the world’s viable oxygen into Kansas City air. This is probably fine.
  

Amenities

Fan Store

Never one to pass up a profit, General Manager Max Betmint had a gift shop constructed next to the open meadow, and then had a moat dug around the meadow to force people to pass through it on the way to the game. Breath Mint fans regularly “upgrade” their pendants by purchasing and wearing more of them. Several fans have collapsed from their team spirit, their dying words being “MORE… WEIGHT…”

Among the many unique gifts and pendants sold at the store are:

• Eizabeth Guerra Mudpuppies throwback hat, from her time in the Blittle Leagues.
• Mooney Doctor II's moon rocks. Now a limited edition item since the destruction of the moon, the mark up price is astronomical but dedicated fans say that it's nothing compared to how Twooney must've felt when escaping the black hole.
• A stack of bootleg Skrillex CD’s that no one has claimed as their own.
• Trojan Horse Shoe. A fake shoe made out of mints to distract Shoe Thieves. While no purchase records exist for the Trojan Horse Shoe, they must be continually restocked during games against the Shoe Thieves.

Player Memorials

• A section of Stands was converted into a memorial fan zone for Whit Steakknife it is known as the Knife Block. The Block features individual slots for fans to watch the game while suspended upside-down as the slots conform and contour to each fan's individual body size. A monitor within the slot allows the fan to watch the action live and microphones from within project fans' cheers out to the field. The project was completed after the Season 5 regular season finished. The Breath Mint's front office states that the section is already completely sold out for all Season 6 home games. A few lucky fans were able to experience the Knife Block at its dedication ceremony. Speaking to the press about the experience one fan said, "Should I have this much blood in my brain?"

• Past the outfield, the Boyfriend Monreal Memorial Butterfly Gardens was constructed in their favorite batting practice spot, as Boyfriend usually had many butterfly friends following them around on their many walks through the meadow. Teammate Lenny Spruce began planting the garden after the end of Season 7, and was often found tending to the plants and making friends with the butterflies.

• It is currently unknown what kind of memorial(s) will be/are planned for Eduardo Ingram. When asked for comment on the matter General Manager Max Betmint stated: "Do you know how hard it is to ethically source four-hundred-thousand tons of feathers?" and declined to comment further on the matter.

• "Hey Betmint, aren't these speakers supposed to be new? Why do I hear so much static? ...Oh huh, this is My Chemical Romance."

Parking

It is strongly recommended that visitors avoid the parking lot.

Beyond the Meadow

Beyond the outskirts of the meadow, a large steakknife stands proudly in the earth. The blade has an inscription that reads "Brevity is the soul of Whit". It is rumored whoever pulls this hallowed blade from the ground shall be King born of Kansas City. Past this, there is a goblin cave to the North; The area is considered appropriate for four adventurers between levels 1 and 3.
