Thanks to your help reaching out to Indiana legislators and your tremendous show of support demonstrated during last week’s rally at the Indiana Statehouse, the Indiana Senate Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee voted to keep the multipurpose stadium legislation in play.

“Indy Eleven is greatly appreciative of the thoughtful discussion on and passage of the amended version of House Bill 1273 by the Senate Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee earlier today,” said Peter Wilt, president and general manager of Indy Eleven. “Finding a multipurpose stadium solution that is fiscally responsible to the citizens of Indiana and would provide the exciting experience our passionate and growing fan base deserves remains the ultimate goal. And today’s unanimous 13-0 vote is the strongest step yet towards making that goal a reality.

“This amended proposal allows the vision for a new stadium to move forward,” continued Wilt. “The club is eager to cooperate with the Indiana General Assembly, the City of Indianapolis, our tremendous partners at Indiana University and IUPUI and other locally based entities that have made Indianapolis the sports capital of the world in continuing to develop this multipurpose venue plan that will grow soccer in Indiana and benefit all Hoosiers. With this amended legislation now to be considered by the full Senate, we urge all Hoosiers who have a connection to ‘the beautiful game’ to contact their legislators in support of the bill to keep this momentum going.”

We need you to contact your legislators expressing your passion for Indy Eleven and a desire to secure a showcase home for the world’s game in Indianapolis.
