Royals to announce downtown ballpark site, reported to be Crossroads location

The Royals have called a press conference for tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. to announce the selection of a downtown baseball stadium. According to Sam McDowell of the Kansas City Star, they will announce a site in the Crossroads near the former Star printing press.

The site has the benefit of being close to an existing entertainment district with the Power and Light District and T-Mobile Center just north of the site, although I-670 currently serves as an impediment. The city is expected to begin construction this year on a cover over I-670.

There are currently a number of businesses in that vicinity, including the Church of the Resurrection, who recently announced plans for expansion.
