My opinion on the Royals Statement: (In regards to some of the questions in this thread)

"We are excited to share that we have several leading locations under close consideration, both in downtown KC and close to it."

There may be a couple of options that are not what the fanbase expects. "close" can be a relative term. Don't get your panties in too much of a twist over downtown parking until the decision is final. The Royals have stated they are listening to the fanbase, and the downtown parking/traffic issue might be one that enough critisicm deters them from chosing.

"the NFL draft, the KC Current's new stadium, the World Cup - and much more yet ahead. These developments, along with a new KCI airport terminal, are transforming our region."

I would not take this quote lightly. I would think the Royals have the resources and planning to make a new complex live by 2026 (World Cup). Perhaps that is aggressive, but one would think that is the goal.
Are the Chiefs interested in the property at Truman Sports Complex?
It would be very easy to think that obviously the Chiefs are interested and have plans to improve upon the Gameday experience at Arrowhead.
