Royals May Open Minor League Facility in Venice Airport Area
Venice City Council weighs leasing 50 acres at Venice Airport to the Kansas City Royals for a $12 million minor league training complex with four or five fields and a coaching center. The plan would fund construction via a lease repaid by the club, with lodging and meals in town, no player housing and no lights. Council may decide within 90 days, while Englewood and Port Charlotte also express interest.
