The Kansas City Royals and Crown Center are hosting a public meeting Monday evening at Union Station to discuss the rezoning plan for the nearly $3 billion downtown ballpark district.

After a multi-year saga that involved both sides of the state line, the Royals made it official in April that downtown baseball was coming to Kansas City, Missouri.

Plans call for a mixed-use district that would host concerts, festivals and other major events year-round.

The Royals hope to break ground on the stadium in 2027.
