City-County Council Greenlights MLS Stadium, Construction to Begin Soon
TL;DR
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has criticized Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett's administration for allegedly bypassing state law in their plan to develop a new downtown soccer stadium. Rokita argues that the city should have submitted a previously approved PSDA map for the Eleven Park project to the state, rather than proposing a new site. The Hogsett administration disagrees with Rokita's interpretation, stating it has no bearing on their efforts to bring Major League Soccer to Indianapolis.
