City officials in Kansas City are advancing a proposal to issue $600 million in bonds to support the development of a new stadium for the Kansas City Royals. The proposal, introduced by Mayor Quinton Lucas and backed by major downtown institutions, targets a site near Washington Square Park and includes plans for a long-term lease agreement for the club. It reflects the sense of urgency in securing the Royals’ future home, as the team explores alternatives beyond its lease at Kauffman Stadium, which expires in January 2031. The move aims to establish a modern, high-density facility that ensures the club’s presence in the city for decades to come. eMLB Kansas City Royals GM
