The Kansas City Royals unveiled new renderings for a downtown ballpark in a press conference, showcasing key features such as fountains and a three-dimensional Crown Vision scoreboard. Designed with Kansas City-based firm Populous, the stadium will include approximately 34,000 seats and various fan experiences. The Royals aim for the ballpark to open by the start of the 2030 season, incorporating a plaza and 360-degree concourses.
