Royals Stadium Gets City Green Light | Kansas City Royals News

Kansas City’s Royals are one step closer to their dream downtown ballpark, with city council approving a $600 million commitment — setting the stage for the largest public-private economic development project in Kansas City history. The $3 billion plan includes $760 million from the team, $540 million from the state, and a projected $1.9 billion stadium cost, aiming for groundbreaking in 2027 and opening in 2030. Beyond baseball, the project promises jobs, housing, and year-round economic growth, plus a 30-year lease and $50 million in community donations. Hallmark Cards is also joining the mix with a new HQ, fitting seamlessly into the transit-connected downtown core — all while the Chiefs build their own stadium across the river. This approval signals deep-rooted commitment to revitalizing the city and keeping the Royals firmly planted in Kansas City for generations.
