If you missed it, the Royals announced they will have a new stadium, and it’ll be at Crown Center.
Phase one of the $3 billion project will cover 85 acres and include a new $1.9 billion ballpark and surrounding ballpark district. The city will contribute $600 million in funding, with previous reporting indicating that will largely come from tax-increment financing, which uses revenues from the project to pay back bonds. Additional money will come from the state of Missouri, using tax credits, with $2 billion in private financing.
The event featured renderings, although Sherman acknowledged they are “conceptual,” adding “There’s a lot of work to do.”
