City-County Council Approves Hogsett's MLS Stadium Plan
The Indianapolis City-County Council approved Mayor Joe Hogsett's proposal for a new Major League Soccer stadium, establishing a special taxing area around the proposed site. The decision, passed by a 16 to 8 vote, aims to boost the city's chances of securing an MLS expansion team, despite concerns over financial risks and the displacement of a previously planned stadium at Eleven Park. The proposal will next be reviewed by the Metropolitan Development Commission and then the state.
