Cart before the Horse
Remember we built the Hoosier Dome before we had a team…
There is more to this than the “pursuit” announcement.
The heliport site was kept off the playing field several months ago. The funding being provided did not just materialize this week. The city didn’t fly to NYC on a lark to ask a few questions.
There are reasons this could fail. However it’s probably not for the high line reasons being debated now.
If things go well and the 11 site is not viable for whatever reasons, I’d like to see the stadium go up in an area within a couple of miles of downtown in either direction to invigorate areas that could use it. The redeveloping state mental hospital grounds, Willard Park, somewhere south of Fall Creek Blvd…etc etc. Maybe buy out an older neighborhood ‘s 25 acres? An opportunity to build cheaper while revitalizing areas that need it,…..for less. The Pearl Street location is impractical, too congested and not big enough for parking.
It is perfect for the Eleven Park site. They need to work it out. Agreed Pearl is not practical
The way this has been handled by the Hogsett administration puts a damper on the development of soccer in Indy.
Sometimes eggs get broken to make an omelet.
Before we get teary eyed about Indy XI and Keystone.. were they ever going to get an MLS deal? It was not on the radar at all and Keystone had no working political capital. They tried multiple times and were denied funding. They had the cash for a theoretical Eleven Park… maybe. That 1.5B is just a number on a page. An approved city council plan is not a done project. Did they have the firepower for the expansion fee? Is the USL going to exist in 10 years? If the XI got a stadium and stayed does it alter that equation?
I feel for the supporters and the BYB, however any ill will is going to be eclipsed by a viable MLS team by a multiple.
What happens to the Indy Eleven team if we get an
MLS team here? Won’t they compete for ticket sales?
If the choice is watching Indy FC play Miami with higher quality players or the Indy XI play Birmingham… what ticket are you buying?
In or around the 500 Track
Well-written article.
Isn’t the obvious result that Indy builds the MLS-sized stadium, and then the Indy Eleven re-applies to the MLS with the entrance fee and the already-built stadium?
No.
