2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

Looks like a zoo, with the big round windows behind home plate.
As a kid it seemed like the Metrodome and Oakland Coliseum were the only stadiums I got to see the Royals play at on the local Royals TV package lol. [Reply]
Caught the game in Scottsdale yesterday. Sat right off home and have to say that MJ's jewelry game is on point. Looked like a Griswold Christmas out there.
Lorenzo Cain said he had opportunities to play after the Brewers released him last summer. His kids wanted him to stay home, so he did. There will be a ceremony for him this summer in Kansas City, where he will officially retire as a Royal. https://t.co/3FiWGkWYHW

It'll never happen, but I think it would be cool for the Royals to retire #6 for Cain and Willie Wilson, and I could say the same thing for #29, Sweeney/Quisenberry. [Reply]

Would it have a good view of the sky line from the outfield? The East Village doesn't make sense it will face the highway and whatever generic development they decide to put in [Reply]

Nope. None of the sites will have a good skyline view. Home to center field must be in a northeast direction. [Reply]

It's gonna happen downtown. And a skyline view is the least of it. If you plopped a better version of the existing stadium; CF crown video/scoreboard, fountains, etc, nobody is gonna give a shit about the skyline. VERY few ballparks have a lovely skyline as part of the ambience.
And for 81 days, the downtown will be flooded with people going to games, buying stupid shit, eating, drinking, etc... And Sherman will sell the team at a huge profit. And the next owner will have a real challenge on his/her hands. [Reply]
