Kansas City Royals Revise Crossroads Stadium Plans to Address Community Concerns

Kansas City Royals CEO John Sherman announced major changes to plans for a new baseball stadium in the Crossroads district, scaling back to protect an integral stretch of road after community input. The change comes after conversations with Mayor Quinton Lucas and the city council, acknowledging the importance of keeping Oak Street open. The original plans included a new stadium, hotel, team offices, and a residential and entertainment venue, but the impact on businesses in the area remains unclear. Early voting for the April 2 election, which includes a stadium sales tax issue, is on the rise, with a close predicted result according to a recent poll.

"Kansas City Royals' Crossroads Stadium Proposal Sparks Controversy and Excitement"

The Kansas City Royals have proposed a downtown ballpark in the Crossroads District, featuring a 34,000-seat stadium, hotel, office space, residential apartments, and an entertainment venue.

The project also includes plans for community benefits, but faces challenges in land acquisition and parking. The Royals aim to fund the $1 billion project through private financing and a proposed sales tax extension, with a target opening date in 2028.
