6 thoughts on “Indy Eleven considers smaller, expandable stadium as search for site continues

  1. Seems like area near Lafayette Square would be ideal. Major roads in place, empty lots from closed car dealerships and box stores, easy access from 465, some restaurants already in place,and, area could use an economic boost.

    1. I agree! Close to I-65 and I -465. 10 minutes to downtown! And the acreage could likely be acquired cheaply-a win win for all parties. This area, being in the International Marketplace, would also benefit from the large international soccer fan base.

    2. Not to mention a significant international/immigrant population that presumably is interested in the sport.

  2. Has there been any consideration to assist youth soccer programs in this proposal? Take a look around at the existing soccer parks (or lack of) and the quality of fields is very low. Outside of Grand Park, there is a market for another competitive complex, specifically not on the far, far, northside. If tax dollars are going to the project, how can we assist the growing youth soccer market by offering year-round, turf and lighted fields as part of this project? It’s a question we should all be asking.

    1. That’s not going to happen under this development, which needs the tax dollars from the development to pay for the stadium. Those kind of subsidies are available for rich owners of sports teams. However, sometimes the locals are willing to provide subsidies such as the Westfield complex, which may breakeven on operating costs but relies upon local tax dollars to pay the debt service.

  3. Reducing the size of the stadium should change the deal because all the taxes paid by the development were intended to pay for the stadium. If the Stadium is smaller, and presumably less expensive, where does the leftover money go? Both the City and Legislature should be asking this question.
