Indianapolis to apply for MLS franchise?

Sunday 28th April 2024

The mayor of Indianapolis has indicated that the city has held preliminary discussions with MLS about obtaining a franchise licence to play in America's top league.

The city has already drawn up plans for a new stadium in downtown Indianapolis.

The news casts a huge shadow over the city's USL team Indy Eleven who were embarking on their own $1bn redevelopment project including a new 20,000 seater stadium.
