SURPRISE, Ariz. (KQTV) — While the Kansas City Chiefs are set to move across the border into a new stadium in Kansas, another Kansas City sports team’s future is up in the air.<\/p>\n
The Kansas City Royals want a new stadium of their own. Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas and state lawmakers have made keeping the team in-state a top priority.<\/p>\n
Majority owner John Sherman answered questions at Spring Training with his club in Surprise, Arizona. He appreciates the effort Lucas and state lawmakers are making. <\/p>\n
“We’re still evaluating… Kansas… and we’re still evaluating multiple locations in Missouri,” Sherman said. “But I do appreciate the big effort that’s being put towards [it] not only by the mayor, but by the government.”<\/p>\n
Sherman acknowledged that, while the process is complicated and long, a decision needs to be made soon.<\/p>\n
“If you look at history, they’re always long,” said Sherman. “They’re — multi-jurisdictional public-private partnerships are complicated. I think it’s time to kind of get on with it. I know our fans have stadium fatigue, deal fatigue, and we’ve got that too, but this is a generational decision. Very strategic and we’ve got to get it right.”<\/p>\n
Sherman wouldn’t go as far as calling a Missouri location his preference for a new stadium. Though he said he’d like to see a stadium in the “heart” or “cultural center” of the city.<\/p>\n
The Royals’ Kauffman Stadium lease expires after the 2030 season. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
