K.C.’s Union Station was “alit in blue on Saturday night” in honor of the Royals, and the station’s social media team “shared a photo and made an impassioned case” for the team to move into a downtown ballpark, according to Pete Grathoff of the K.C. STAR. Union Station wrote on X, “The time has come for downtown baseball, and a return to where the story first began… in the heart of Kansas City, where we gather to celebrate its triumphs, traditions, and most cherished moments.” It continued, “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. It’s time to welcome downtown baseball home — once again, for all of Kansas City.” The Royals will be leaving Kauffman Stadium in a few years. There have been a few downtown ballpark ideas mentioned, “including one at Washington Square Park.” That ballpark would be “located north of Crown Center and east of Union Station” (K.C. STAR, 12/29).
