The Kansas City Royals announced plans to construct a new ballpark at Crown Center, a historic 85-acre mixed-use district in Kansas City, Missouri. This development follows the city council's approval of an ordinance allowing city manager Mario Vasquez to negotiate a deal worth up to $600 million to support the project. The total estimated cost for the stadium and surrounding area is around $1.9 billion. As part of the development, Hallmark Cards will remove its headquarters and part of its visitor center, while the Ice Terrace and Our Lady of Sorrows Parish will remain. The stadium will be strategically located with easy access to U.S. 71, I-35, and I-70, and will be linked to the streetcar service along Main Street. Surrounding landmarks include the Liberty Memorial, Union Station, and the Power & Light District, enhancing the area's appeal and accessibility.
