Kansas lawmakers made their push to lure the Royals and Chiefs across the state line this week, approving legislation to allow the state to finance up to 70% of stadium project costs through the STAR bond program. There is no plan in place yet, and there is still a long way to go before either team gets the moving trucks, but that hasn’t stopped some from imagining where the teams could play in Kansas.
While most have envisioned the Chiefs playing out at the Legends complex in Kansas City, Kansas, developer Robb Heineman, who co-owns Sporting Kansas City, has teamed with the architecture firm MANICA to produce a vision of the Royals heading downtown - but on the Kansas side.
