The Kansas City Royals unveiled detailed plans for two dramatically different locations for a replacement to the aging Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday.
The Royals have long shared with the Kansas City Chiefs sales tax revenue from Jackson County for the upkeep of Kauffman and Arrowhead stadiums, both of which reside in the Truman Sports Complex. But while the Royals intend to build elsewhere, the preference of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is to remain at Arrowhead Stadium and renovate the existing NFL venue.
The downtown site, which has long been viewed as the frontrunner, would lean into commercial and business possibilities to help drive the revenue thatThe proposed stadium, which Populous founder Earl Santee warned is not a final design, features swooping roof lines that are reminiscent of Kauffman Stadium. There is a homage to the fountains for which the existing park is known in right-center field and what Santee called “one of the most intimate seating bowls in all of baseball.
The location in North Kansas City would continue the revitalization of what was once a rundown industrial neighborhood. Imran Aukhil with the economic advisory firm HR&A said both projects would have about a $320 million impact on the region, not including the construction itself, which would spur at least 20,000 jobs and $2.8 billion in total economic output.
