Complete Custom Sounds Folder--Kauffman Stadium

I eventually want to update my old sound files found here at the Mods and I also want to make some sound files for the baseball experience after I last left off in 1969. I think that I am close to a rather generic complete modern sounds file but doing something which fits current 2022 MLB baseball might require sound files specific for each of the stadiums.

I made a complete current sounds folder specifically for Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. Some of the sounds were made for only the Royals. Do you want to listen to what I came up with for Kauffman Stadium? Check out this game I just posted on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVk5...el=kcstengelsr

The description of the video has the following:

"You don't have to be resigned to looks and sounds of OOTP23 games like they arrive right out of the box. You can customize things like the sounds and the views of your OOTP23 ballgames. This is my version of the current Kauffman Stadium sights and sounds basically from a seat along the first base side of the diamond.

I created an entire complete sounds file for Kauffman Stadium with some of them very specific for the modern Kansas City Royals. One goes to team settings and then to edit ballpark and then to edit sounds to place sounds into a ballpark's own sounds folder. OOTP23 custom sounds can be created for many kinds of occasions like ambient noise or rallies and the custom sounds can be created to be of a "local to one ballpark" flavor.

I wanted this game's view to be mostly from a place along the first base side of the diamond about at the actual location of one game my brother and I attended some years ago. I created that specific view for Kauffman and before the game set initial cam, pitch cam, and action cam to that one view. I did have all other possible action cams unchecked to be off except for three others that I had created. You might see some action from about where the home plate umpire would be, some other action about in front of the first base dugout at field level, and yet some other action about in front of the third base dugout at field level--all were created by me and all were checked as available for possible action view. Otherwise, the entire game is shown from the approximate place my brother and I sat. (I can have Kauffman games at other locations like from a restaurant balcony beyond right field where we had lunch.) OOTP23 custom views are basically only limited by your imagination.

One more thing that I used for a better customized spectator experience is the custom signage created specifically for Kauffman Stadium by micropetrus58. He has actual signage to replace the generic OOTP23 signage. He has signage for the other modern ballparks and they can be downloaded from the OOTP/Forums/Mods. Thank you, micropetrus58!

Note:
I did turn on optional text to speech. The text reader is no Denny Matthews but I kind of like listening to any play-by-play instead of having to read the text. I also use text to speech because I like the looks of my OOTP games with the top and side and bottom information boxes hidden during game action which also temporarily hides the play by play text. I like to see more of the field during game action.
Also to see more of the field I use only optional small player labels and I set their locations to be customizable. The small labels might look out of place from my seat along the first base side of the diamond but believe me that they are correctly placed if I had set this game to be seen from the location of the plate umpire. I have had other games viewed only from the point of view of the plate umpire."

I placed at Mediafire a file named Kauffman_Sounds.zip which has ambients, rallies, stretches, and all the rest of the sounds you might want for a more realistic Kansas City current Kauffman Stadium experience. You will need to download the Mediafire file, unzip it, open it up, copy all the files, and then paste them into the Kauffman Stadium sounds folder. I hope you enjoy it:
