Why shouldn't we move the royals stadium?
This is no secret, but building stadiums involves a ton of money. Regardless of the sport, facilities are going to cost a pretty penny. Heck, the recent Truman Sports Complex renovations came with a price tag of $625 million. It remains to be seen how much the construction of a new stadium, parking garages, etc. would cost but nevertheless, someone’s got to pay for it.
A new downtown stadium would be an even larger undertaking as well. The most recent downtown baseball park, Target Field in Minneapolis, cost $550 million and opened in 2010. Meanwhile, each of the five most recent new NFL stadiums has each cost over $1 billion. It’s not out of the question that a Kauffman and Arrowhead replacement could together cost close to $2 billion dollars at least.
