Officials Release Renderings for Future of Royals' Truman Sports Complex
As the Kansas City Royals prepare to welcome their fans to the Truman Sports Complex in a matter of days, Jackson County’s top politician unveiled his vision for the future of the site on Thursday.
Since the early 1970s, the Truman Sports Complex has hosted Kauffman Stadium (home of the Royals) and Arrowhead Stadium (home of the Kansas City Chiefs).
