Kansas City, Mo. – Royals confirmed with FOX4 that a team -related business has bought the mortgage on a possible site at the stadium in Johnson County, Kansas – Old Sprint Campus near the 119th and NALL, now known as Aspiria.
“Kansas City’s pianos continue to explore all the options throughout our community to develop a new stadium for the team,” a part of the team statement says FOX4 received late on Wednesday afternoon. “We haven’t decided on a site yet and any claim is otherwise inaccurate.”

“As part of our constant efforts, we have negotiated or made investments in many potential sites – both in Missouri and in Kansas,” the statement said. “One of these investments was the acquisition (from Royals branch) of the mortgage on Aspiria Campus by a process of sale with a weapon lengthS “
Earlier Wednesday, FOX4 talks to three selected leaders from Missouri about the upcoming special session that Missouri’s legislators will have. One of the main priorities of the special session will be the stadium of the Republican governor Mike Keho, who is trying to keep both teams in the state of the show.
On Wednesday, Jackson Frank White CEO said his goal is still to hold the royalty and chiefs in his county. He supported the country “voting no” in April 2024 sales tax for both teams.
White said he couldn’t talk about the state when it was something like a special session.
“You know about the county what we have done for the teams all these years,” he said. “Our plan is still to get a deal that makes sense for both Jackson County and both teams, and we hope to keep the two teams in Jackson County.”
The Aspiria campus surrounds the Jewish Community Center of the Big Kansas City and they do not plan to leave.
“We’re not for sale. We’re not moving,” Scott said the center with the center. “We hope that Royals don’t go there, but we will do our best to be a good neighbor if they do.”
The sluggish one also runs his own real estate investment office. He says the transaction is a brilliant move by investors.
“They either get a nice day of pay or have the opportunity to put pressure on other suitors for a large -league baseball stadium,” Fox4 told FOX4 on Wednesday. “Kansas City is lucky that there is such a great property group. We just hope they find the city center.”
The sluggish one thinks that pressure will be felt on both sides of the state line.
“This puts pressure on aspiria to try to collide, to get money to pay them out so as not to worry about the stadium. He puts pressure on Missouri’s legislation to try to achieve something.
Fiserv technology company announced in April that they would move to the Aspiria campus, which is still an opportunity.
“I’m sure there is a great chance that Aspiria will receive new funding to pay this off,” said the sluggish. “I don’t know what the chances are, but it’s a great opportunity.”

One person who did not support the stadium package during the last week of the legislative session was the Republican State Senator Joe Nikola of Grain Valley. Nikola told Fox4 that the teams are important to the county.
“But more importantly, these are our ownership taxes, and that’s why I fight,” Nikola said on Wednesday. “We must have some relief of property tax.”
Nicholas says she wants this relief before supporting the Stadium bill. The rest of the ownership tax was not part of the Kehoe’s press conference on Tuesday the morning conference, although it is about what will be discussed during the special session.
“But he and I had discussions,” Nicholas told his conversations with governor Keho. “I discussed it with the guide with the speaker of the Chamber, and my ownership tax bill should be part of the special session, so I insist and fight and I think we have a consensus in the Senate to get something.”
Nicholas’s bill will give the State Tax Commission to refuse up to 50% of all taxes due to Jackson County if they are ordered to reduce the estimates.
The Republican Missouri Congressman Mark Alford said the dome stadium would be great for the superiors to try to get a superbul.

“But I also understand my voters in East Jackson County, who do not want to pay for a stadium to subsidize it,” he told FOX4. “However, some of the equation is a large part of the tax revenue paid to this region by these two teams.”
The special session begins on Monday at 12 o’clock in Jefferson City.
