Kansas City Royals Select Crossroads For Downtown Stadium Scheme

And so . . . Here's today's news cycle highlight . . .

KANSAS CITY ROYALS LAUNCH AN EPIC DOWNTOWN STADIUM CAMPAIGN WITH EPIC DRAWINGS & NO DEETS ON PARKING!!!

To be fair . . . It looks REALLY nice but there STILL aren't many specifics.

Moreover . . . A lingering question . . .

WHY WILL THIS STADIUM PLAN WORK WHEN P&L DISTRICT LOSES MILLIONS EVERY YEAR?!?

Obviously, the Kansas City Royals . . . Who lost 100 games last season will be "the big draw" that sparks the next revival.

Of course the South Loop coverup is a big part of the equation . . . Our favorite part of that plan is that it'll be a "private park" using public funds.

That's our perspective . . . Here's more hopeful reporting and more pix . . .

"The stadium will be built between Grand Boulevard and Locust Street from Truman Road to 17th Street, according to renderings released.

"It will include team offices and conference center, corporate offices, hotel, residential spaces and an entertainment venue among other things.

"The announcement comes less than two months before voters are set to decide whether to pass a question related to 3/8-cent sales tax used for maintaining stadiums for the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals.

"If voters sign off and pass the question, it would repeal a current sales tax that's been in effect since 2006 and that is set to expire in 2031.

"A new, but same rate of 3/8-cents would replace the existing tax and begin a new 40-year time frame from 2024 to 2064."
