What will happen to Crown Center attractions when the Royals move in?
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The news of a downtown Kansas City Royals stadium at Crown Center has raised questions on the location, parking, logistics and much more.
However, another question popping up is, what will happen to the Crown Center attractions like the ice terrace or the Kaleidoscope and Legoland buildings?

Wednesday’s initial renderings of what a new Royals stadium could look like between 26th and 27th Streets west of Gilham Road show the Crown Center Ice Terrace behind the center field wall.
On Thursday, FOX4’s Jonathan Ketz spoke with a Hallmark spokesperson. They said that those questions remain unanswered for them as well, saying that when they’re further along in the planning process, they’ll be able to better define the future of specific Crown Center attractions.

However, the “first-of-its-kind” 85-acre mixed-use development with the ballpark district, a new stadium and a Royals headquarters could very well push some out of the area.
One building that is confirmed to be on the outs is the Hallmark corporate headquarters building, the Kansas City company partnering with the Royals on a new stadium in hopes of revitalizing Crown Center.
