Royals to build a $1.9B ballpark at Crown Center as part of a $3B downtown KC redevelopment project

Summary: The Kansas City Royals are building a brand-new $1.9 billion baseball stadium downtown. It will be located at Crown Center as part of a massive $3 billion project. The team is partnering with Hallmark Cards to make it happen.

The Royals will leave their old home, Kauffman Stadium, before their lease ends in 2031. Private money will pay for two-thirds of the new stadium, while public funds will cover the rest. Earlier this year, voters rejected a tax to keep the Royals and the Chiefs together. Because of that, the Chiefs are moving to Kansas, but the Royals are staying right in Missouri.
