Eleven Park


Eleven Park is a proposed soccer-specific stadium to be constructed at a currently unknown site in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It would be the home of the Indy Eleven, a USL Championship team currently playing at Lucas Oil Stadium. The stadium would be part of a mixed-use development including a hotel, offices, apartments, and a retail area.

History

The first proposal for an Indy Eleven stadium was in 2014, before the team had debuted. The plans called for a 18,500 seat stadium at the cost of $87 million. The plan was shelved in the state senate. In 2015 the proposal was revived, but rejected again in favor of renovating Michael A. Carroll Stadium, the home of the Eleven at the time. In 2017 the Eleven again attempted to receive stadium funding, but did not have a bill launched in favor of it.
In January 2019, the Eleven announced a new stadium plan, with a 20,000 seat stadium being the centerpiece of a $550 million mixed-use development including 600 apartments, more than of retail space, of office space and a 200-room hotel. The stadium would also have the potential to host concerts, women's soccer team, college and high school soccer, football, field hockey, rugby and lacrosse.
In February, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved the bill, with a requirement that the Eleven reach an agreement to join Major League Soccer before the stadium could be built. In April the bill passed the house with the MLS requirement removed. The bill would also pass the senate, and was signed by Governor Eric Holcomb in late April.
