Royals Stadium Deal Approved | Topeka News

Kansas City’s city council just approved a $1.9 billion deal for a new Royals ballpark and entertainment district — with 60% public funding and 40% private, including a $760 million commitment from the team. The Royals pay just $1/year in rent, dodge property taxes, and pledge $55M in community benefits. Two council members voted no, protesters showed up, but the city is moving forward — also greenlighting Hallmark’s HQ and Crown Center upgrades — with an expected opening in 2030.
