Council Approves Tax District for New MLS Stadium
TL;DR
The Indianapolis City-County Council approved a special taxing district to fund a new downtown soccer stadium, aiming to attract a Major League Soccer team. The decision, passed 16-8, has sparked controversy as the Indy Eleven are already building a stadium at a different site. Mayor Hogsett supports the new location due to financial and logistical concerns, while opponents argue there is no official MLS stance against the original site. The plan still requires state approval.
