Royals Stadium Gets Green Light Amid Backlash | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals’ new stadium just got a unanimous green light from the city’s finance, governance, and public safety committee — but not everyone’s happy. Critics like Stand Up KC and Missouri Workers Power argue the city is handing billions to a billionaire while neglecting essential services, demanding public input before funding. Royals exec Brooks Sherman counters with job creation promises and highlights a $3 billion overall project, $2 billion privately funded. The city has until August 31 to respond to a petition for a public vote, though Mayor Quinton Lucas says he’s focused on growth — and doesn’t see that deadline as binding. State funding is still in the air, with no applications filed yet, but a funding review is scheduled for Thursday and rezoning later this fall.
