Royals to stay in KC That means that the Chiefs and the Royals are pretty much locked until the year 2031. The rolling roof plan was turned down. But I don't think that will be an dead issue, as more than likely this will come back sometime soon. I can say that I'm happy to hear that the Royals are staying in KC, where I feel they belong. I been to numberous of times at the K, and I'd say that it is a very beautiful park. I'm also glad to say that they're staying, so that sometime in the future, whenever I have children, that I can take them to the ball game, and share my memories of the Royals, when I was a kid.
