@kcur893 As Royals fans packed Kauffman Stadium for the team’s home opener this week, there’s a big question at the top of mind: Where will the team make their new home? It's been nearly two years since Jackson County voters rejected the Royals' proposal to build a stadium in the Crossroads, using public tax money. Several publicized options for a location, including Overland Park and North Kansas City, have fallen through in recent months. Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas continues to push for a downtown location at Washington Square Park. But no official plan has been announced yet, and Royals owner John Sherman had no hints to give in an interview with KCUR’s Up To Date broadcast live from the K. You hear the full interview on the Up To Date podcast. 🎤 Hosted by Steve Kraske ⚾ Featuring Royals CEO John Sherman 🤳 Filmed by Halle Jackson 🎬 Produced by Zach Perez 💻 Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #baseball #stadium ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
