KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The owner of the old Kansas City Star Press Pavilion, Tony Privitera, has shared new video of what he envisions a ballpark looking like in the East Crossroads.
The ballpark goes directly south of the T-Mobile Center, from Grand on the west to Oak on the east, Truman Road on the north to 17th Street on the south. This idea is separate from the plan he pitched to FOX4 earlier this month of the stadium potentially going east of Oak Street .
“It’s time to build them a new diamond, a jewel in KC’s crown,” a narrator says of the Royals in the video Privitera had made.

FOX4 obtained it on January 21. On Sunday, January 28, Resurrection, a United Methodist Church, announced a groundbreaking for their expansion project in the East Crossroads.
Despite the pitch from Privitera to get the Kansas City Royals to build their new ballpark either around or in place of his pavilion, Resurrection’s going ahead with their expansion plans.
