The groups behind the Major League Soccer stadium proposed for downtown Las Vegas have scheduled two public meetings ahead of a City Council vote. The City of Las Vegas announced the meetings hosted by Cordish Companies and Findlay Sports will be August 4 in the Doolittle Community Center and August 7 in the City Council chambers. It’s expected that financing will be discussed.

In May, the two groups revealed plans for 24,000-seat stadium to be situated next to Symphony Park in downtown. So far, no team is in place.
