history
The sports facility on the banks of the White River was built in 1982 for the Pan American Games in 1987 for seven million US dollars . Used is from the IUPUI Jaguars and 2014-2017 from the football - Franchise Indy Eleven of the North American Soccer League (NASL). The jaguars play their football games and cross-country competitions here.
On July 16, 1988 sprinter Florence Griffith-Joyner set a new world record in the 100-meter run in the preliminary rounds for the 1988 Olympic Games , the US Olympic Trials . It ran in the Michael A. Caroll Stadium for 10.49 seconds and improved Evelyn Ashford's four-year-old record (10.76 seconds) by 27 hundredths of a second.
The Indy Eleven hoped to move into a new football stadium in 2017. A prerequisite for this is the rapid approval of the building permit for the Stadium for Indiana . The new venue for around 72 million euros was to be equipped with 18,500 seats and also be used for American football , lacrosse and concerts . On March 24, 2015, the Tax and Financial Policy Committee declined to finance a new stadium. Instead, the Indiana Senate approved a cheaper option of $ 20 million for the renovation of Michael A. Carroll Stadium. Finally, in 2018, the Indy Eleven moved to Lucas Oil Stadium , the home of the Indianapolis Colts from the National Football League (NFL).
