Will a new Royals stadium ever be built downtown? Reader’s KC Q answered

In this installment of “What’s Your KC Q,” in which readers ask us questions about the city, we hear from Brian.

He asked: “Is there any potential of relocating the Royals to downtown KC?”

The short answer: Maybe, but it’d be a while.

A year ago, The Star reported that Kansas City was funding a study of potential sites for a downtown baseball stadium. But since then, not much has happened.

The main private sector players — Jon Copaken, principal with real estate development firm Copaken-Brooks, and Bill Dietrich, president and CEO of the Downtown Council of Kansas City — did not respond to requests for comment.
