The Royals are already six weeks past their self-imposed deadline of selecting a potential stadium site, and now there are reports they are considering a third site. According to Sam McDowell of the Kansas City Star, the Royals have “re-focused their discussions with notable officials” on the viability of a proposed site at 16th and McGee, the location of the former Kansas City Star printing press. The consideration of that site comes in addition to proposed sites at the East Village and one across the river from downtown in North Kansas City.
The printing press was built in 2006 but was last used by the Star in 2020.
