Royals owner John Sherman acknowledged Monday that the Major League Baseball team feels a sense of urgency in deciding where it will play beyond the 2031 season, when its lease at aging but beloved Kauffman Stadium is due to expire.
The Royals have considered several stadium sites around the Kansas City metropolitan area, and a few of them — including one in the suburb of Overland Park, Kansas — have been eliminated. Now, the club appears to be zeroing in on sites in downtown Kansas City, across the Missouri River in Clay County, Missouri, and a potential move across the state line to Kansas City, Kansas.
