Anticipation is building as the Kansas City Royals unveil renderings of team’s plan to build a new $2 billion baseball stadium.

Team leadership presented economic data and new renderings of the proposed stadium Tuesday. In January, a consultant for the Royals said the team was considering 14 potential sites near downtown for a future stadium. The list of potential sites has since dwindled down to two.

The Royals will now choose between building a new stadium in the East Village near the downtown loop or a site in North Kansas City near 18th Avenue and Fayette Street.

Stadium is only 1.5 billion. The cost rises to 2 billion after having to pay people large amounts of money to fill the stadium of a royals game.

Didn't they just remodel their stadium within the last decade?

Looks incredibly average for spending $2B in Kansas City

I just don't get how teams/cities can justify that cost for a baseball stadium. Football stadiums, maybe, but there are limitations to what you can do and what events you can host with a baseball stadium

Lol, they raped the residents for improvements like 5 ish years ago, now a new state of art stadium?

More seating for opposing fans, especially cardinal ones

I don’t understand why they don’t further renovate Kaufman if they want it to look just like Kaufman but newer.

This looks incredibly similar on the interior to the As upcoming stadium in Vegas. Architecture firms just copying and pasting with little imagination or appreciation of what makes something classic, or not.

Been to Kaufmann twice, last in 2019. There is nothing wrong with that stadium or location- they just don't have the latest and greatest thing.

I hope the taxpayers tell them to frick off.

So they want to spend 2 billion to build a newer stadium comparable what they already have

I like the NKC design better but the East Village desperately needs this development. I will be happy either way. I love Kauffman but baseball belongs downtown, not in a seedy suburb.
