If the Royals decide to stay in Missouri, it could fuel a fight over the team between Kansas City and Clay County.

Clay County Commissioner Jason Withington says the Kansas City Royals submitted a term sheet outlining their stadium vision for North Kansas City.

NORTH KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The ongoing Royals stadium saga took another turn Thursday night. Clay County Commissioner Jason Withington posted to social media that the Royals have contacted the county with terms for a possible stadium deal in the Northland.

Supporters of the legislation view it as a key tool that could open a path for a new Royals stadium or a Chiefs training facility in Clay County.

Despite a recent move by Kansas to extend the deadline for the state’s stadium incentive package, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe believes his state is still in a good position to keep the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals in the Show Me State.

With the stroke of a pen, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the Clay County Sports Complex Authority bill into law Friday afternoon. That authority is one step in the process of potentially bringing the Kansas City Royals to North Kansas City.

The extension further ratchets up the border war between Missouri and Kansas over where the two teams should build their futures.

The teams have already had one year to negotiate with Kansas officials. But supporters say the deals are complicated — and are frustrated by delays.

Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia received the nod to the All-Star Game in Atlanta next week, replacing Brandon Lowe of the Tampa Bay Rays.
