After being eliminated once again, the Kansas City Royals exited the season positioned at the bottom of the American League Central Division. However, this has become a consistent story that the Royals keep reiterating as they failed to cross the fourth-position marker for the fourth consecutive year.
However, it’s about time that the Royals’ front office and ownership take responsibility for their disappointing past and make some changes in that direction. Along similar lines, Patrick Mahomes’ team recently made an announcement of the big plans that lie in front of Kansas City as they prepare for a gigantic $2 billion ballpark district.

Royals Chairman John Sherman recently spoke about the difficulties in maintaining Kauffman Stadium, which opened in 1973. Consequently, the franchise decided to build a $2 billion downtown ballpark district either in Kansas City or somewhere in the nearby locality.

As reported by Front Office Sports on Twitter, “It would be the largest public-private development project in Kansas City history.”
While talking about this gigantic upcoming project in a letter, Sherman said, “If this proposal moves forward, we see this development as another storied chapter for Kansas City.”
This is how fans reacted to this new proposal:

Putting the stadium downtown would more than double that number.
