On this day in history, April 28, 1930, something incredible happened right here in Independence…

The very first night game in Organized Baseball was played under the lights at Shulthis Stadium!

That night, the Independence Producers took the field against the Muskogee Chiefs, forever changing the game we love. What started as an experiment lit the way (literally!) for modern baseball, making night games a staple across ballparks everywhere.

From a small town in southeast Kansas to stadiums across the country, Independence made history that still shines bright today.

⚾ Here’s to the moment that turned the lights on for baseball, and put Independence on the map!

🎠 We Want to Hear from Our Community! 🎠

Riverside Park, often called the jewel of Independence, and its nickel carousel—just one of many iconic features—along with the Ralph Mitchell Zoo, reflect the vision of citizens who planned for the Independence we enjoy today. So does Historic Memorial Hall, which honors our Veterans and stands as a lasting reminder of thoughtful leadership and community investment.

Now it’s our turn.

The Community-Based Strategic Plan will set priorities for the entire city—helping determine where we focus our time, resources, and investment in infrastructure and public safety; economic development that supports local businesses and industries; housing and neighborhood revitalization; our historic downtown; key assets like the Independence Municipal Airport; and the parks, public facilities, and services residents rely on every day.

📍 Attend a Session:
• Wednesday, March 4 | 5:30 PM | Civic Center (Memorial Hall)
• Friday, March 6 | 9:00 AM | Memorial Hall – Upstairs Lobby
410 N. Pennsylvania Ave.
