Royals Stadium Proposal: Key Meetings This Week

0:00It's April 14th. Welcome to Kansas News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Kansas City is buzzing about a proposed $1.9 billion royal stadium and district at Washington Square Park, right by Crown Center and Union Station. The mayor dropped the plan just days ago with the city chipping in about $600 million if it all goes through. On Tuesday, the Finance, Governance and Public Safety Committee kicks things off at 10.30am, hashing out the funding details. They might vote to push it to the full city council, which meets Thursday at 2pm. These talks could lock in the team's future home since the royals need the green light to build on city land. The park's board still owns the property, keeping control in public hands. Meanwhile, the five member board of parks and recreation commissioners, all volunteer appointees by the mayor, dives in at 2pm that same Tuesday. They're okay as key for any park use. You can catch both meetings live, fountain TV for the committee and council, YouTube for the park's board.
