"KC Royals Set to Unveil Crossroads Location for New Downtown Stadium"

The Kansas City Royals are set to announce the selection of a downtown baseball stadium site, reportedly in the Crossroads near the former Star printing press, with a press conference scheduled for tomorrow. The site's proximity to existing entertainment districts and plans for construction over I-670 are noted, while questions arise about land assembly and potential use of eminent domain. The total cost of the ballpark is estimated at $1 billion, with funding sources including a proposed sales tax extension and private financing. The Royals are expected to share more details about the project, including renderings and economic data, at the upcoming announcement.

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.
