Mark me tentative, please. Tough to plan that far in advance.
I enjoy minor league ball and if you do too, our team (the Monarchs, named after our Negro League team) is playing exhibition games against the Savannah Bananas on Th/Fri/Sat of that week. Also, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is located just east of Downtown in the 18th & Vine District.
For barbecue connoisseurs, there's also Jones Bar-Be-Q in KCK, still run by the two Jones sisters. It's quite small but has a loyal following. Only open for lunch on Th/Fri/Sat.
And for any of the Hyatt enthusiasts, I will strongly recommend Hotel Kansas City, smackdab in the middle of Downtown, just two blocks from the streetcar and a couple stops to Jack Stack. I do staycations there and they have a great team. It's really a nice property. Beautiful facility, good bars, excellent restaurant.
