Kansas City Royals: 3 reasons team shouldn’t move downtown

First and foremost, the Kansas City Royals aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. The lease the team has with Kauffman Stadium doesn’t expire until 2031. For at least the next 12 years, the only way to watch the Royals in-person will be to drive out to The K and do so.

With that said, the organization is undergoing an ownership change. In late August, David Glass reached a $1 billion deal with Kansas City native John Sherman to sell the club. Sherman has spoken highly of the downtown area, causing many to assume he’d be interested in potentially moving the team there.
