Royals decide on location, design and budget.
Royals make this announcement along with the note that Kauffman stadium has surpassed it's lifespan, can no longer keep up with modern demands and must be replaced.
18 month campaign to convince the "fix Kauffman, build new in TSC and anti-subsidies" crowd to support.
If this campaign isn't working, bust out backup plan. Every MLB owners favorite, the "relocate" threat.
End of the day, I just don't see how we don't have a downtown baseball stadium by 2030ish.
My only concern is that Royals try to win their votes by adding a shitload of parking, and then we win the vote with like 70% anyway and realize we didn’t even need to pander to them with the parking.
