State Senate committee to consider bill for Indy Eleven stadium

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A state Senate committee will take up a plan to build a new stadium for the Indy Eleven soccer team.

The team’s owner Ersal Ozdemir talked to News 8 about the plan.

He said one of the places he’s interested in is Broad Ripple High School. However, an official site has not been chosen yet.

He also said a new group of investors and a special taxing district will help fund the stadium.

The tax district would use a portion of the sales and property taxes collected at the stadium to help fund the project.

Ozdemir says the development around the stadium would be built with private money.
