Royals Invest $50M in East Side Youth | Kansas City News
Description
The Kansas City Royals are pouring $5 million upfront and another $5 million annually for 30 years into a new youth sports complex, aiming to break ground in May 2027 — part of broader downtown stadium talks. Advocates push hard for the east side, a historically underserved area where a proposed site across from the Boys and Girls Club on Elmwood could transform lives through mentorship, safety, and community investment. After decades of waiting, local leaders like Sharlonda Riley see this as a long-overdue chance to uplift youth where they’re most needed.
