Let's go.
Pete MundoHOST
[laughs] Do they expect people outside of a two-mile radius of Crown Center to go to a game? I assume they do, in which case, yeah, no one's biking and no one's riding the streetcar, but whatever.
Pete MundoHOST
That's fine.
Pete MundoHOST
I just got a kick out of how John and Ketz opened up the package with that line.
6 MINS LATER
Pete MundoHOST
Of course, they're asking anybody in the area to call the tips hotline.
Pete MundoHOST
We're just sitting here kind of waiting for information.
Pete MundoHOST
But you wanna know why sometimes it feels like we can't have nice things, why Power & Light is still getting subsidized to the tune of $10 million per year, which is only gonna get worse once the Royals move to where they're gonna move to, because a lot of that money is just going to shift to down around Crown Center on the new stadium.
Pete MundoHOST
You know, you tell me, 7:30 at night, you wanna be walking through 10th and Baltimore where, you know, gunshots are ringing out last night and one person is found dead in their car, John?
Pete MundoHOST
All right, let's go to, uh, this story, speaking of downtown.
Pete MundoHOST
Royals renderings got released yesterday, and that came at a press conference that took place with John Sherman, Brooks Sherman, the entire Royals front office, along with the Populous folks, Kansas City design firm that is putting together the stadium down at Crown Center.
Pete MundoHOST
And as they note here, they are going to have 34,000 seats, open-air stadium, dozens of fountains, views of downtown, and will draw inspiration from the city's famous limestone architecture and landscape.
Pete MundoHOST
Four-story ballpark itself will be built into and out of the existing limestone bluff, with the field sitting approximately 90 feet underground and the remaining multi-story structure surrounding it.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
Yeah, so the first one is essentially rezoning the land that the stadium will sit on just to authorize, you know, the proper... permits, make sure construction can actually happen.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
So the area around Crown Center where they want to put the ballpark has been rezoned in such a way where they can actually go ahead and do that.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
That was a key step.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
The next one authorizes about $615 million in bonds, and that is supposed to contribute to the cost of construction for the stadium.
Steve KraskeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
area blighted?
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
It's debatable.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
A third party group did find that the buildings in Crown Center are aging to such a degree that they found a little bit of asbestos.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
They pointed to kind of crumbling sidewalk infrastructure as these justifications that Crown Center is blighted enough to justify this stadium happening.
Deona HustleHOST
I ain't mad at that.
Brian B. Shynin'HOST
[laughs] The Kansas City Royals and Populous, a local firm that is one of the world's top sports venue designers, they, yesterday they unveiled new renderings of the planned downtown ballpark at Crown Center.
Brian B. Shynin'HOST
The stadium will be, uh, 40, 34,000.
Brian B. Shynin'HOST
That's a robust, um, uh-
Scott ParksHOST
Kathy Nelson, CEO of the Kansas City Sports Commission, will be joining us.
Scott ParksHOST
She's going to talk about the Kansas City Marathon tomorrow, the new renderings of the new Kauffman Stadium that likely is going up at Crown Center.
Scott ParksHOST
And then, of course, we'll be joined in studio at the same time by an old friend of mine.
Scott ParksHOST
We went to KU together.
Rob BrentonHOST
No one's saying you have to like it.
Rob BrentonHOST
But looking at these renderings today, I'm not saying it looks like the best ballpark in America, but it does look cool with Crown Center, downtown.
Rob BrentonHOST
The, the one rendering is a wide shot.

You can see the Kauffman in the background, you see the skyline, Union Station, like-

Alex GoldHOST
Also, that's the Hallmark corporate headquarters in the, in the, the, uh, the Crown Center area.
Alex GoldHOST
This was what John Sherman said about a fixture that I think Royals fans will definitely care about in the new stadium.
John ShermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The other thing, we, we listened to you.
Scott ParksHOST
Dana Wright, Sam Stevie III, my name is Scott Parks here on KMBZ.
