Royals Stay in KC with New Ballpark Deal | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals are staying in Kansas City thanks to a historic 11-2 council vote approving a $1.9 billion downtown ballpark — with the team investing $760 million and the city contributing $600 million. Located southeast of Crown Center, the stadium is part of a massive $3 billion district development, featuring a 30-year lease, full operational responsibility for the Royals, and profit-sharing for the city from non-baseball events.
