Crown Center

The Royals have pitched a $1.9 billion stadium. That's twice as expensive as Atlanta's Truist Park and quadruple Denver's Coors Field. But it's not clear what's driving up the cost.

The beer and music festival debuted as a two-day event in the West Bottoms, and grew into one of the region's signature events, moving to the Stockyards District then Crown Center. Organizers say the festival will not return for another season.
