T-Mobile Warns It Will Exit Overland Park If Royals Choose Aspiria Stadium Site

Overland Park promises a full public review before any stadium proposal moves forward.

Overview

  • T-Mobile says its 119th and Nall campus cannot host both a stadium and its 3,500-plus workforce, and it will explore new locations if the Royals pick Aspiria.
  • The carrier says its lease runs through mid-2029 after a request to extend it was denied, and it prefers to remain in the city and state if it relocates.
  • The Royals say they are still evaluating multiple sites, including Aspiria, Washington Square Park in Kansas City, Missouri, and a portion of North Kansas City.
  • The team’s ownership group acquired the mortgage for the Aspiria property last spring, making the campus a prominent option under review.
  • More than 200 residents turned out at a recent forum to raise traffic, infrastructure and transparency concerns, as Overland Park’s mayor called the idea an exciting possibility and emphasized the city’s development review process.
