Kauffman Stadium

The Kansas City Council passed a financing package that moved the Royals’ stadium development forward in a big way. The deal will tap 30 years of tax growth to repay the costs of construction, to the tune of $1.4 billion. Economists say it's deeply flawed.

Team officials say groundbreaking on the $2 billion stadium could take place in the middle of 2027. The Crown Center ballpark would be designed to bring fans closer to the action than at Kauffman Stadium.

The Truman Sports Complex Redevelopment Task Force, a group convened by County Executive Phil LeVota to imagine a future for the area after the teams leave, released a report with many reuse ideas. The path to accomplish them is more tricky.

A new financial report says the proposed Royals stadium in Crown Center could generate about $1.4 billion in total tax revenue over 30 years. Economists have thrown cold water on similar estimates, though, as new stadiums rarely deliver on their promised economic benefits to cities.

The Kansas City Royals celebrated Denny Matthews’ 8,000th game behind the mic during last week’s matchup against the Cleveland Guardians. An inductee into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Matthews has been "the voice of the Royals" since the team first began 57 years ago.

Learning doesn't need to stop when we leave school. Here are some "adult field trips" to get you out of the office or house, and see aspects of Kansas City through an entirely different lens, from tours of iconic buildings to hyper-specific workshops.

Jackson County is voting for its new county executive this year. All the candidates put property taxes as their top priority. But go beyond that, and the differences creep in.

A group representing low-wage workers submitted petition signatures to force a vote on the city’s $600 million Royals stadium subsidy. Here’s a guide to the road ahead.

The $3 billion stadium development would be in close proximity to residential neighborhoods like Union Hill, Beacon Hill and Longfellow. Neighborhood leaders say their primary concerns include traffic congestion and fans taking up limited street parking.

The city will now start to finalize the ballpark deal with the Royals, even though the team has not announced Washington Square Park as its preferred location. Kansas City would be on the hook for about $600 million of the $1.9 billion stadium.
