Among them: 在完成這些市層級的進展後，皇家隊在華盛頓廣場公園計畫正式落實之前，仍有數個關鍵步 驟需要完成包括： The club must secure the rest of its intended financing, including potentially m oney from the state of Missouri and Jackson County. 球隊必須取得其餘所需的資金來源，包括可能來自密蘇里州與傑克森郡的政府資金 Specifics on those fronts are still in development, but even if both jurisdictio ns contribute public funds, the Royals said they expect a final deal to “includ e one of the largest private investments in Kansas City history.” 相關細節仍在規劃中，但皇家隊表示，即使這兩個政府單位提供公共資金，最終協議仍預期 「將包含堪薩斯市歷史上最大規模的民間投資之一」 Amendments in the city ordinance that require the club to return to the city cou ncil for additional approvals on development and community benefits agreements. 市政條例中的修正內容要求球隊需就開發計畫與社區利益協議再次提交市議會進行額外審核 Time will remain of the essence, as the Royals intend to open a new ballpark in 2030. 時間仍然相當關鍵，因為皇家隊計畫在2030年啟用新球場 “Our motivation is to find the best solution for our team, our fans, and our co mmunity,” the club said. 球隊表示：「我們的動機是為球隊、球迷以及社區找到最好的解決方案」 “We’re excited by the possibilities this opportunity presents for our hometown .” 「我們對這個機會為我們的家鄉帶來的可能性感到興奮」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 223.137.195.242 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/Baseball/M.1776492466.A.413.html
