O-Royals Headed To Sarpy County?



The deal is not done, but it’s looking like the Triple-A Omaha Royals may not be going far once they leave their longtime home of Rosenblatt Stadium.

The Royals are expected to sign an agreement to negotiate a contract to move to a new ballpark in the Omaha suburb of Sarpy County, the Omaha World Herald reported today. The team is expected to announce the deal at a press conference later today. The World Herald article, of which only a brief portion appears available online, notes that the deal does not guarantee the Royals move to Sarpy County but only states both sides’ intentions to begin negotiations.

The Royals are going to leave Omaha… mark my word. The Ricketts family has already been approached about relocating their AAA franchise to Omaha when the player development contract with Des Moines expires in 2012.
