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.
