Vote for Funding MLS Stadium Happening Today

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A decision on funding for a stadium to attract a major league soccer stadium is happening today.

Mecklenburg County commissioners will vote tonight.

They originally said they’d chip in nearly $44 million for the proposed $175 million stadium.

However, now they’re talking about only putting up $30 million, which the city has also said it’ll spend.

Critics say maintaining parks, green-ways, and recreation centers is more important.
