'''Eleven Park''' is a [[soccer-specific stadium]] currently under construction on the site of the former [[Indianapolis Chain and Stamping Company|Diamond Chain Company]] facility in [[Indianapolis]], [[Indiana]], United States. It would be the home of [[Indy Eleven]], a professional [[soccer]] team that plays in the [[USL Championship]].<br />
<br />
The stadium would be part of a mixed-use development including a hotel, offices, apartments, and a retail area, and is expected to be complete for the start of the 2025 USL Championship season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://eleven-park.com/|title=Eleven Park – Secure the Future of Professional Soccer in Indiana|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2014/03/06/key-lawmaker-finance-experts-raise-doubts-about-indy-soccer-stadium/6122535/|title=Indy Eleven soccer stadium proposal shelved|website=Indianapolis Star|language=en|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref> In 2015 the proposal was revived, but rejected again in favor of renovating [[IU Michael A. Carroll Track & Soccer Stadium|Michael A. Carroll Stadium]], the home of the Eleven at the time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://fox59.com/2015/03/24/lawmakers-reject-idea-of-new-indy-eleven-stadium-back-20-million-renovation-to-carroll-stadium/|title=Lawmakers reject idea of new Indy Eleven stadium, back $20 million renovation to Carroll Stadium|date=2015-03-24|website=FOX59|language=en|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref> In 2017 the Eleven again attempted to receive stadium funding, but did not have a bill launched in favor of it.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibj.com/blogs/4-the-score-anthony-schoettle/post/63557-indy-elevens-effort-to-score-mls-franchise-takes-hit?v=preview|title=Indy Eleven's effort to score MLS franchise takes hit|website=www.ibj.com|language=en|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref><br />
<br />
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 {{convert|100000|sqft}} of retail space, {{convert|150000|sqft}} of office space and a 200-room hotel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indystar.com/story/news/2019/01/10/indy-eleven-pitches-eleven-park-mixed-use-stadium-development/2534791002/|title=Indy Eleven makes pitch to build 'Eleven Park' with stadium, apartments and more|website=Indianapolis Star|language=en|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibj.com/articles/72842-soccer-stadium-likely-would-find-other-usesespecially-if-its-downtown?v=preview|title=Soccer stadium likely would find other uses—especially if it’s downtown|website=www.ibj.com|language=en|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref><br />
<br />
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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2019/02/21/proposal-fund-indy-eleven-soccer-stadium-moves-forward/2936813002/|title=Indy Eleven stadium deal now would require team cash and MLS buy-in up front|website=Indianapolis Star|language=en|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref> In April the bill passed the house with the MLS requirement removed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://soccerstadiumdigest.com/2019/04/indy-eleven-stadium-legislation-clears-house-with-mls-requirement-removed/|title=Indy Eleven Stadium Legislation Clears House, With MLS Requirement Removed|last=Spedden|first=Zach|date=2019-04-13|website=Soccer Stadium Digest|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref> The bill would also pass the senate, and was signed by Governor [[Eric Holcomb]] in late April.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indyeleven.com/news_article/show/1016824|title=GOVERNOR ERIC HOLCOMB'S SIGNING OF SENATE ENROLLED ACT 7 MARKS LATEST PROGRESS FOR ELEVEN PARK PROJECT|website=www.indyeleven.com|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref><br />
<br />
On January 8, 2021, Indy Eleven tweeted that they planned to announce the location of the new stadium by late March 2021.<br />
<br />
On June 24, 2022, the club announced that the stadium would be built on the site of the former Diamond Chain Company factory in the southwest quadrant of downtown Indianapolis. The full price for the development along the White River is estimated to cost over $1 Billion. The project is anticipated to be completed in spring 2025.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://www.indyeleven.com/news/2022/06/24/eleven-park-location/ |title= Indy Eleven Secures Downtown Location for Eleven Park Development |website=www.indyeleven.com|access-date=2022-06-24}}</ref><br />
