Union Station Passionately Pitches Downtown Kansas City Royals Stadium

A passionate plea from this town's "front porch" offers a glimpse at how the civic set is thinking going into the new year . . . 

"Now, a new chapter in Kansas City’s baseball story is ready to unfold. Included is a sincere expression of gratitude for the visionaries and leaders who brought us here — from the enduring legacy of Ewing Kauffman to today’s Royals ownership, led by John Sherman.

"The restoration and reopening of Union Station 25 years ago—made possible by the shared commitment of citizens on both sides of the state line—marked a turning point for our city. Since then, our downtown has been reimagined and revitalized, earning recognition across the nation and beyond. We are vital and vibrant and not turning back.

"So, we look ahead with clarity and optimism. We see an opportunity to bring baseball’s legends, legacy, and love back to the place where it all began.

"A downtown ballpark offers something special—an exciting atmosphere that draws together friends, families, and fans in moments of shared joy. It strengthens community, celebrates teamwork, and reminds us of the simple beauty of the game."
