The Royals did \u201cnot have a deal on the table for consideration\u201d at yesterday\u2019s meeting<\/a> of the Legislative Coordinating Council for a new ballpark in Kansas, according to Alatidd, Harvel & Keating of the TOPEKA CAPITAL-JOURNAL. It was the last scheduled LCC meeting for the year, meaning the baseball team will \u201cnot meet the Dec. 31 deadline\u201d for a ballpark deal imposed by the lawmakers. However, the deadline under the law \u201cis June 30, so legally a deal could still be made if lawmakers are willing to consider one after their self-imposed deadline\u201d (TOPEKA CAPITAL-JOURNAL, 12\/22<\/i><\/a>).<\/p>\n FOLLOW THE LEADER?<\/b> The AP\u2019s Dave Skretta wrote one of the \u201cprevailing questions\u201d now following the decision by the Chiefs yesterday<\/a> to depart Arrowhead Stadium for a new domed facility in Kansas is whether the Royals \u201cwill follow the Chiefs across the Kansas-Missouri line.\u201d The Royals insist they will not play at Kauffman Stadium \u201cbeyond the 2031 season,\u201d and their \u201cpreference has been to build a new downtown ballpark.\u201d But a sales tax extension<\/a> that would have paid for an $800M renovation of Arrowhead Stadium and a new home for the Royals \u201cwas soundly defeated<\/a>\u201d last year by voters in Jackson County, Mo., leaving \u201cboth to look elsewhere.\u201d Through an affiliate, the Royals have \u201cpurchased the mortgage for a tract of land in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kansas<\/a>\u201d (AP, 12\/22<\/i><\/a>).<\/p>\n IS THE GRASS GREENER?<\/b> In K.C., Hancock & Shorman wrote as Missouri mourns the loss of the Chiefs, the fate of the Royals \u201cremains in flux.\u201d K.C. Mayor Quinton Lucas said yesterday that his \u201chope is for a downtown baseball stadium,\u201d while other Missouri officials \u201ccontinue pushing for a North Kansas City site<\/a>.\u201d State Sen. Maggie Nurrenbern and House Speaker Jon Patterson both said that as far as they were aware, negotiations with the Royals \u201care ongoing\u201d (K.C. BUSINESS JOURNAL, 12\/22<\/i><\/a>). Patterson added, \u201cAs easy as it would be to now play the blame game here in Missouri, I think it\u2019s best we regroup and get together as city, state and county leaders and see what we can do about maybe keeping the Kansas City Royals in Missouri\u201d (K.C.
