  1. “Mallon said he doesn’t expect the city to fast-track its efforts on the MLS-focused stadium if the tax district is approved. He said it takes at least three years to design, build and open a stadium but that this particular project would likely take longer because the city would need time to thoughtfully design a stadium with the ownership group.”

    I don’t understand this. So has the entire purpose of Tom Glick and the Mayor’s scheme been to just kill Eleven Park? Or maybe they want to steal it out from under Ozdemir and take credit for it, which is even shadier. They did just offer to buy it out from under him….something’s fishy here.

    By their own admission, the Mayor and the CIB have no urgency to see this through. They really don’t care about soccer at all. Will Hogsett still be in office if this plan ever sees the light of day? What will be accomplished, other than destroying Eleven Park and maligning a local businessman?

    Whatever lame ownership group the Mayor and Glick cobble together, they will have a stench on their hands. This is getting uglier by the minute.

    1. Indy has completely fallen behind its peers like Nashville, Austin, Columbus and Kansas City MO. Indy has dropped to tiers like Louisville, Salt Lake City and OKC. We had momentum and major projects like the new Methodist hospital, Pan Am plaza, The old city hall development, NBA ALL STAR ect and now this mess

  2. Well, I can hear it now. Hogsett’s 2027 mayoral campaign speech: “Four years ago I said that this would be my last term as your mayor, but we have unfinished business, including starting to design and build a new soccer stadium so that we can entice the Indy Eleven to move back to Indy from Fort Wayne. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work. This will be my very, very, very last term as your mayor. Won’t you all join me in a dance.”

  3. Let’s move Indy 11 to Grand Park in Westfield. We love soccer, we love Indy 11, and you won’t have to deal with the backstabbing, dirt licking, yellow bellied Hogsett.

  4. I have to wonder about the half acre parking lot (not substation) at 355 E Pearl Street owned by IPL/AES. I suspect that at one time there was a substation on the lot, but looking at a satellite view of the lot, it’s just parking now. I often see AES/IPL hold on to and never sell lots that formerly housed substations.

    As a former power company employee, I suspect this is a strategy to avoid the cost of environmental remediation. Years in the past, when transformers sat at these sites, they had oil in them. The oil in the transformers used to contain a stabilizing agent that contained PCBs. Occasionally these transformers needed maintenance and this was accomplished by draining the replacing the oil. Before stricter regulations, the contaminated oil drained out of these transformers was just dumped/sprayed on the site to kill weeds. I suspect that a little environmental testing will reveal major environmental contamination at this and many other former IPL/AES substation sites.

    PCB contamination may be worse than finding hundreds of bodies. Good luck with this site!
