Kansas City Royals Delay Stadium Site Selection

The Kansas City Royals will not be selecting a new stadium site by the end of September as previously announced. The team has narrowed down its options to two proposals for a $2 billion ballpark district that will include a new home for the Royals, restaurants, hotels, and stores. The decision-making process has been delayed, and the team did not provide a new timeframe for when a decision will be made. Jackson County Executive Frank White has been accused of holding up the process, but the team stated that negotiations are ongoing with both Jackson and Clay County. The Royals plan to provide clarity to local leaders and the Chiefs in time for a vote on a proposal in April 2024. The funding for the stadium remains unclear.
