KC maps $1.9B downtown Royals stadium plan anchored at Washington Square Park

Kansas City officials unveiled a plan for a $1.9 billion, downtown Royals stadium at Washington Square Park, with the city contributing about $600 million and private funding making up the rest, aiming to open by 2030. The ordinance would authorize a 30-year term sheet and development agreement with the Royals, financed via bonds, Tax Increment Financing, and potential state incentives, plus an accompanying entertainment district. Approval hinges on park-board consent and city council votes, and while a public vote is not currently planned, the proposal could face political or public opposition; Royals’ backing remains undecided as talks continue.

Rays Stadium on Hillsborough College Campus Moves Forward With Non-Binding Deal

Hillsborough College’s board of trustees unanimously approved a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the Tampa Bay Rays to explore building a stadium on the Dale Mabry campus as part of a larger mixed-use redevelopment.
