Where should the Royals play baseball? Last year, the debate was whether to stay at Kauffman Stadium or move to a new ballpark downtown. This year, however, it’s a whole new discussion. With the Royals’ unequivocal decision to vacate Kauffman when their lease expires in 2031, the narrative has shifted. The question now is whether the Royals should build a new stadium downtown or move to Kansas. We are at a critical point in our effort to retain the Royals in Kansas City, Missouri, and to build an iconic new stadium and mixed-use ballpark district in our revitalized downtown.
