Kansas City economic council advances Royals' $3B Crown Center stadium plan
The city's Economic Development Council backed the Royals' downtown ballpark and entertainment-district plan, which relies on more than $1 billion in public funding including $600 million from Kansas City and roughly $450 million the team is separately seeking from the state. Team president of real estate and development Brooks Sherman said on the record that the club would bear responsibility for construction cost overruns. A City Council vote is expected within about two weeks; the rezoning vote has already been delayed twice since Aug. 11 while the city finalizes tax districts, and Mayor Quinton Lucas still expects 2027 demolition. A fallback would keep the Royals at Kauffman Stadium through 2030 if the new park's opening slips to 2031.
Storylines
- Kansas City's downtown stadium financing plan cleared another procedural hurdle, with a City Council vote expected soon.
