Royals Announce Plans for New Downtown Ballpark in Kansas City

The Kansas City Royals have unveiled their vision for a new ballpark and entertainment district in the Crossroads District, aiming for an opening by 2028.

The proposed 34,000-capacity ballpark will be located in the Crossroads District, incorporating the former Kansas City Star printing press building.
Public funding, including a 40-year sales tax extension, and private funding will finance the estimated $2 billion project.
Jackson County voters will decide on the funding through a special election on April 2.
The new stadium aims to enhance community dynamics, fan experience, and long-term growth, connecting to the cultural center of Kansas City.
Negotiations with property owners for land acquisition are ongoing, with the Royals committed to transacting in a beneficial manner for the city.
