Where do Royals fans want a new stadium?

I would love for Kansas to finally have a major league sports franchise.

A Kansas City Royals survey that started going out to thousands of fans this week touches on prospective locations for new stadiums, and Overland Park is in the mix.

The team announced on Monday that fans would start receiving the survey via email and over the phone, which will cover a range of topics, including television broadcasts, the team in general and the “gameday experience.”

Fans who receive the survey will also be asked about three proposed locations for a new ballpark and associated development: Downtown/Near Downtown, Clay County/North Kansas City and Johnson County/Overland Park.

A baseball stadium n Kansas sounds good but who pays for it? As a Kansas resident myself, I'm indifferent towards the idea until the matter of financing is settled. Single use stadiums rarely break even. Then there's the matter of parking. The most probable location will be in the bubs where real estate doesn't come cheap. It's difficult to accept subsidizing billionaire owners and multi-millionaire players at the expense of taxpayers.
