Royals Crown

Royals Crown at Kauffman Stadium

The new Crown at the Royals Stadium was produced in collaboration with Populous (Formerly HOK). The crown was designed to top the new vertical screen at the stadium, one of the biggest screens in the world. Zahner engineered and fabricated the crown using gold interference-coated stainless steel, with a fine MetaBump™ surface to reduce oil-canning of the metal. The balls at the peaks of the crown are each outfitted with hundreds of LED lights.

Zahner has produced several projects using the interference-coated metal surface, including Contemporary Jewish Museum which has a dark blue interference coating and a cross-fire brushed pattern. Interference Stainless was also used on the The Experience Music Project, The Meyer Fletcher Residence, and the Neiman Marcus in Natick, Masssachusetts.

The video to the left was produced by The Royals, to show the way in which Zahner was involved in the production of the Royals Crown, a massive Stainless Steel Crown which sits atop the new digital scoreboard and video screen. Zahner worked with the architects at Populous to conceive of a facade which would replace the old crown.
