Kansas City Royals Narrow Stadium Search to Two Locations

The Kansas City Royals have narrowed their search for a new ballpark site to two locations: East Village and North Kansas City. The team's lease agreement at Kauffman Stadium expires in January 2031, and owner John Sherman has indicated that he plans to relocate the team before that lease expires. While the Royals have done the most work in the East Village, they have the responsibility to fully evaluate both locations. A potential move to North Kansas City might be difficult to navigate before the current lease with Jackson County expires.
