Royals Stadium Deal Approved | Kansas City News

Kansas City’s council just approved a $3 billion Royals ballpark and mixed-use district — a fiery 11-2 vote that sparked chaos when a protester was arrested during a tense committee meeting. The stadium, set for the corner of 26th and Gillham, comes with a $1.9 billion price tag, half funded by city bonds and infrastructure cash. With a 30-year lease and 5% profit share for the city, groundbreaking is slated for 2026, with opening day hoped for 2030 — but rezoning still needs final approval in September.
