KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 The Kansas City Royals released the 2026 promotional schedule<\/a> on Friday, a sign that usually promotes excitement for fans as the season draws near. This year, however, fans of a certain ballpark tradition are left with mere pieces of what once was.<\/p>\n

That tradition is Dollar Hot Dog Night, or \u201cBuck Night,\u201d and this year, the Royals are dialing it back when it comes to low-priced dogs.<\/p>\n

Royals legend John Wathan elected to team\u2019s Hall of Fame <\/a><\/p>\n

In previous years, fans could enjoy Buck Night every Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium. Now, though, those hot dogs will only be available for a dollar on the first Tuesday of every month. In total, there will now be just six dollar dog nights.<\/p>\n

Fans of the deal took to social media to express their frustration with the new promo schedule.<\/p>\n

While the dollar dog may not be quite as accessible at The K this year, other promotions aren\u2019t hard to find. For example, fans can find deals under $5 on beer, soda, hot dogs, popcorn and pretzels at every home game.<\/p>\n

In addition to Kauffman cuisine, the promotional schedule released on Friday features the usual \u201cBark at the Park\u201d and \u201cFirework Fridays\u201d nights, a new lineup of bobblehead giveaways, and other various deals, events and giveaways.<\/p>\n
