About the project

The new Kansas City Royals ballpark is a $1.9 billion open-air stadium planned for the Crown Center area of downtown Kansas City, Missouri, anchoring a roughly $3 billion, 85-acre mixed-use district developed in partnership with Hallmark Cards on its longtime headquarters site. Designed by Populous, the ballpark sits beside Union Station and Washington Square Park, knitting the venue into a walkable downtown neighborhood of housing, retail, and public space. The project resolves a multi-year, multi-site search that had weighed the Crossroads, a Kansas relocation, and suburban Overland Park before landing on the Crown Center district.
