Hurry up!
Maybe next, we can get a curling stadium.
The other soccer group has a better site location for a soccer stadium ! The heliport should stay where it is .
Better…by what standard? Ignoring the sacred graves of potentially 600-100 deceased folks?
The other soccer group has been told they’re never getting an MLS franchise (twice, I believe). They’re the Betamax of soccer groups in Indianapolis at the moment.
Indianapolis got lucky once with building a stadium without a team. Doing it twice sure seems risky. It’d be the equivalent of building an MLB stadium for Art Angotti.
Heliport was approved last week by Airport Authority to be decommissioned and moved out to Greenfield to airport property owned by IAA. IU Health Campus being built will have two helipads for IU Health. Keeping a helipad DT stymies development in that area (even without a stadium) to a max of 3-4 stories around it. Not what you want for a growing city over the next decade.
The other site may be good if you want a cursed team for the rest of its existence.
They should have merged the downtown maintenance fee, and the low barrier homeless shelter, into this soccer stadium, and could have killed 3-4 birds with a single stone, without the local renters and property owners paying the $5m a year downtown fee.
Whatever you think about getting a MLS team and a stadium to boot (I say, get it!) one thing is for certain, the heliport is an obsolete concrete ghost-town with minimal to no traffic. Three television stations and IMPD used to have choppers based there…no more. I’ve been within earshot and eyesight of the heliport for hours at a time to see absolutely nothing — NOTHING going on there, either from the air or the ground. It is a relic.
