The Kansas City Royals have been a part of Major League Baseball (MLB) since 1969, and they are now one step closer to having a brand new stadium. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has recently endorsed the proposed new stadium for the Royals, which is set to be built in downtown Kansas City.
The proposed stadium, which will be located on the site of the old Truman Sports Complex, is estimated to cost around $1 billion. It will feature a retractable roof, a natural grass playing surface, and a seating capacity of around 40,000. The stadium will also include a variety of amenities, such as a team store, restaurants, and a club level.
Manfred said that he was impressed with the plans for the new stadium and believes that it will be a great addition to the city of Kansas City. He also noted that the Royals have been a part of MLB for over 50 years and that it is important to invest in the team’s future.
The proposed stadium is expected to be completed by 2022 and will be the first major league ballpark built in Kansas City since Kauffman Stadium opened in 1973. It will also be the first retractable-roof stadium in the Midwest.
The new stadium is sure to bring more fans to the Royals games and help revitalize downtown Kansas City. It is also expected to create thousands of jobs in the area and generate millions of dollars in economic activity.
The endorsement from Manfred is a major step forward for the Royals and their plans for a new stadium. With his support, it looks like the Royals will soon have a brand new home in downtown Kansas City.
