The Royals now have a much clearer path toward a deal to build a downtown ballpa
rk, but further legislative progress this week is creating additional hurdles th
e MLB club must still clear.
皇家队现在在推动市中心盖新球场方面有了更明确的进展，但本周进一步的立法进程也带来
了球队仍需克服的额外障碍
The city council in Kansas City, Mo., approved a funding package Thursday that w
ill provide up to $600 million toward a long-sought-after, $1.9 billion stadium
located at Washington Square Park, near the Crown Center and Union Station.
密苏里州堪萨斯市的市议会于周四批准了一项资金方案，将提供最多6亿美元，用于一座长
期规划、总额19亿美元的球场，地点位于华盛顿广场公园，靠近Crown Center与Union Stat
ion。
That approval arrived with a vote of 11 votes for, one against, and one abstenti
on, and it follows committee-level assent earlier in the week.
该项批准以11票赞成、1票反对、1票弃权通过，并且是在本周稍早委员会层级已表达同意之
后完成
Along with a separate but related approval by Kansas City’s Board of Parks and
Recreation Commissioners for the intended ballpark site, those legislative moves
now put the Royals in their strongest position yet to secure a stadium deal aft
er nearly seven years of on-and-off pursuit.
再加上堪萨斯市公园与娱乐委员会对预定球场地点的另一项相关批准，这些立法进展让皇家
队在经过近七年断断续续的推动后，处于至今最有利于达成球场协议的位置
“When you look at what the city’s been able to deliver, certainly if there’s
a question of, ‘Has the city of Kansas City done its part?,’ we have, I think,
gotten a good deal,” said Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.
堪萨斯市市长Quinton Lucas表示：“从市政府目前所达成的成果来看，如果有人问‘堪萨
斯市是否已经尽到责任？’我认为我们确实谈到了一个不错的条件”
“We have outstanding financial terms, some of the best in the history of Major
League Baseball for a team, particularly comig from a local government.”
“我们的财务条件非常优渥，就大联盟历史而言，这对一支球队来说是最好的条件之一，尤
其是来自地方政府的支持”
What’s Next?
接下来呢？
With these city-level moves, the Royals still have several key steps to complete
before the Washington Square Park project is an official reality. Among them:
在完成这些市层级的进展后，皇家队在华盛顿广场公园计画正式落实之前，仍有数个关键步
骤需要完成包括：
The club must secure the rest of its intended financing, including potentially m
oney from the state of Missouri and Jackson County.
球队必须取得其余所需的资金来源，包括可能来自密苏里州与杰克森郡的政府资金
Specifics on those fronts are still in development, but even if both jurisdictio
ns contribute public funds, the Royals said they expect a final deal to “includ
e one of the largest private investments in Kansas City history.”
相关细节仍在规划中，但皇家队表示，即使这两个政府单位提供公共资金，最终协议仍预期
“将包含堪萨斯市历史上最大规模的民间投资之一”
Amendments in the city ordinance that require the club to return to the city cou
ncil for additional approvals on development and community benefits agreements.
市政条例中的修正内容要求球队需就开发计画与社区利益协议再次提交市议会进行额外审核
Time will remain of the essence, as the Royals intend to open a new ballpark in
2030.
时间仍然相当关键，因为皇家队计画在2030年启用新球场
“Our motivation is to find the best solution for our team, our fans, and our co
mmunity,” the club said.
球队表示：“我们的动机是为球队、球迷以及社区找到最好的解决方案”
“We’re excited by the possibilities this opportunity presents for our hometown
.”
“我们对这个机会为我们的家乡带来的可能性感到兴奋”
