As a former resident Louisville city FC is really the model, imo. Small, new stadium with cool built-in stuff (brewery, etc.) and in a district not far from a ton of other cool things but not right smack downtown, so it's pretty easy to do. It's not a wonder why it's become so popular.

It would require some vision but a City Park/Mid City build out at Tad Gormley would be amazing. There's enough to do around the area that it wouldn't feel like an island, but it would also be a very unique sport experience for the city.

Tad Gormley seats 26k. Knock some of that out and make boxes/nicer seats/etc and convert it into a really nice 15k capacity stadium, add some amenities, and boom we're there.

Your former coach John Hackworth is a college classmate of mine.
