KANSAS CITY \u2014In a Christmas weekend post on their social media page, Kansas City’s Union Station\u00a0called for the Kanas City Royals to build the team’s next ballpark in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.<\/p>\n

“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,” according to the Station’s post site.<\/p>\n

“At this moment, Union Station glows in Royals blue, serving as a powerful symbol of a truly generational opportunity rooted in both history and hope.”<\/p>\n

“Long before today, however, teams and ballparks \u2014 some now remembered only in name \u2014 laid the foundation for baseball in our historic core. Included are the Unions at Athletic Park in 1884. The Kansas City Cowboys at League Park in 1886.”<\/p>\n

“The Royal Giants at Shelley Park in 1910. The Packers at Gordon & Koppel Field beginning in 1913. The Kansas City Blues at Association Park in the early 1920s, before moving in 1923 \u2014 along with the Monarchs \u2014 to what would eventually be called Municipal Stadium.”<\/p>\n

“In 1955, the Athletics started playing in a nearly entirely rebuilt Municipal Stadium, followed by the Royals in 1969 before their move to Royals Stadium in 1973.”<\/p>\n

\nNow, a new chapter in Kansas City\u2019s baseball story is ready to unfold. Included is a sincere expression of gratitude for the visionaries and leaders who brought us here \u2014 from the enduring legacy of Ewing Kauffman to today\u2019s Royals ownership, led by John Sherman.”<\/p>\n

“The restoration and reopening of Union Station 25 years ago\u2014made possible by the shared commitment of citizens on both sides of the state line\u2014marked a turning point for our city. Since then, our downtown has been reimagined and revitalized, earning recognition across the nation and beyond. We are vital and vibrant and not turning back.<\/p>\n

So, we look ahead with clarity and optimism. “<\/p>\n

“We see an opportunity to bring baseball\u2019s legends, legacy, and love back to the place where it all began.<\/p>\n

A downtown ballpark offers something special\u2014an 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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to welcome downtown baseball home\u2014once again, for all of Kansas City.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
