Royals New Stadium Deal Breakdown | Topeka News

Kansas City’s city council just approved a $2 billion stadium lease for the Royals — with the city paying 60% and the team covering 40%, including all future maintenance. Set to open in February 2031 and lasting up to 40 years, the deal also brings Hallmark’s new global HQ and a revitalized Crown Center. Mayor calls it a “home run” for jobs and tourism, while the Royals commit $760 million privately plus $55 million in community benefits — all while paying just $1/year in rent and avoiding property taxes. Final zoning vote still pending. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
